Me too, meeee toooo! This game has so much potential.

Yes for art but if not 1.00 software its all good if Lyman is on it !

Nope. Did that with Batman for a year. If it ships with way less than 1.00 (.95? I can let it slide, but no more of this shipping with .60 or .70 and "we'll fix it later" crap), I'll just wait until it's done and check it out then and get one of a zillion other pins there are to choose from this year in the meantime. I want an Iron Maiden, but I will not encourage Stern's bad practices anymore.

IRON MAIDEN

must be a joke surely!
Talk about catering to old farts tastes , even the art is ordinary haha

enough with the crappy old timer licenses already geez

More originality required please

Username checks out

I really love Stern but i am very happy when they run out of names for music pins.
Let say three years and then its done with the music pin because there is no decent band left hahaha.
I hate music theme pinball machines.
Well.... only ACDC as a music theme and Arrowsmith for the layout but thats all.
Most of them are bad machines.
Lets hope Iron Maiden is a great pinball machine with a extra music theme.

There's a bar in Louisville, KY, USA that has TWD LE, Hobbit LE, WOZ Ruby Red, GOT LE, SW LE, DI LE, and BM66 SLE... It's a hopping place!

So you're basically saying LE is not for location as well, wich was my point.

Here - where the density of pinball places is extremely sparse - it's only pros.
There is no "competitor on the other side of the street" you can kill, or people can do a direct comparison.

That is not your casual location but a pinball bar.

This is true... It's known for it's pinball selection.

He was talking about Maiden LE doing well in a 'usual' rock pub environment.
For something like this I don't see any meaning in buying a LE.

Fpor a pinball bar however:
LE's get manufactured before the premium, so you pay extra to get the hottest shit faster for everyone to come to your place!
Makes sense.

It must be terrible when facts and evidence are constantly getting in the way of your ILL-INFORMED opinion.

“Oh noes! There’s a cabinet split in Australia. Sound the Pinside alarrrrrrmmmmmmmmm!!!”

Edit: altered wording so as to reduce the inflammatory personal attack. Thanks Pinside moderators!

I work at a pinball bar, and we get the LEs too, boss also gets a pro to put on other locations, or in case he can't get the LE soon enough.

It doesn't look or play like Zombie's game. We already know a brief overview of the rules from Ben Heck's interview, and we've seen flashes of the HD display. Nothing like that horrible faux color-DMD that Zombie had.

Lmao

I get Iron Maiden. Lot's of fans, fills stadiums, lots of merch, blah blah blah. There is a lot of pop music that is very popular around the world and a lot of aging bands with aging fans. Most of that music does not appeal to me but whatever. Any theme can be good if done right but none of this pop stuff sounds very exciting. It would be cool to see themes that are a bit more unique, obscure, or fresh. Everything seems very predictable and very similar to what they have done before. Not sure what else you can do with a rock pin. Songs will probably be modes, some kind of Sparky looking bash toy, a couple of ramps, and two flippers.

Roflmao

Love the IM artwork. I see the art then listen to the music expecting something a lot harder, but it's like Metal Muzak.

There's absolutely zero reason it has to be like that. If it is, and I hope it's not, then it just means Stern lacks imagination, not that they were incapable of doing something better with the theme.

Band pins might cause some eye rolling, but as far as wide open options go they're really the freest possible license, unlike a movie or TV show there isn't a plot and characters and things that people expect you to paint by numbers with.

Metallica is the best modern Stern IMHO, because it's the most like an unlicensed game, with original toys, and Lyman being creative on code.

relax they may make a Migos pin or better yet a Taylor Swift pin? That shitty old fart band Maiden god damn Stern.

Really hoping for Beach Boys

You could put it right beside old fart David Hasselhoff big face

What a person does in the privacy of his own home is his business but this is a pinball thread sir.

Haha...be nice, oldskool is cool dude!

Does anyone know when Maiden could be released and if it will be released?

If only a thread was loaded with this information / speculation....

We're can I find this thread???

Its all tongue in cheek and words don't hurt
but fists do !

I do like a good shit stir, at least I didn't do it in the Iron Maiden specific thread

Still waiting for Led Zeppelin.

But Iron Maiden art does rock!

Like your list but Data East did Guns 'n Roses already. I just played one the other day LOL!

Hazoff promised a Migos pin too, don't forget.

JJP is supposed to be re-doing it up right. I'll be in line for that one!

Most awesome!

Are you saying they have the license for Led Zeppelin?

To paraphrase Mike Rowe, “The way I heard it”...
It has been discussed, on the record, by Stern employees. They previously entered negotiations for the license, but there were some delays etc and they decided to table it and move on to the next available option. If you recall, several years ago Led Zeppelin began a bit more licensing activity. Their music was the heavily integrated into a TV series and had some more frequent usage in movies and televised ads. The Stern negotiations were prior to that and the licensing took a while to develop due to the process Zeppelin was (is?) using. Plant, Page, Jones and the Widow of Bonham met infrequently and this could potentially stretch out approvals etc.

I’m still Hopeful.

I would be in on all of these: Led Zeppelin, Rush, the Beatles, Def Leppard, Van Halen.
I have loved the music pins.

Hey,
Don't forget Slayer and Megadeth

Don’t tease me. Guns n Roses was my favorite band growing up. I had the Data East game for about 10 years. I would love a modern game. That would make me very happy.

jjPotC Apr/May 2018-> Toy Story (Lawlor) Late 2018 -> Willy Wonka Spring 2019 -> GnR Hardcore Late 2019

I hope Muppets isn't in before GnR, but it's also possibly still in the mix. If it is, the order could also be...

jjPotC Apr/May 2018-> Toy Story (Lawlor) Late 2018 -> Muppets Spring 2019 -> Willy Wonka (Lawlor?) Late 2019 -> GnR Hardcore 2020

Wow, so JJP is rumored to be doing GnR? Cool! Any more info about it floating around?

When Keith and the team get a chance for breath of air
The Big 4 maybe ?

Oh, and bring on that Archer man

50th anniversery and Robert Plant is talking more openly about things now.....

So .... Iron Maiden still happening with announcement soon before TPF ???? I was hoping it would have been announced this week .

Wish list - Judas Priest (Halford comes out from backstage on the Harley and revs it up!). Jaws (boat toy, shark eats Quint). A new Jurrasic Park/World - my boy loves dinosaurs. Scooby Doo - the kid would love it - so would I! Maiden- check. Slayer - I am so down. Same w/ Ozzy/Sabbath. Van Halen would be a ton of fun, what with their uber happy, hard rockin, killer guitar trick songs and all! A psychedelic 60's pin would rule! You acquire a VW van, cruise the Summer of Love, make it to festivals, Monterey 67, Newport Pop Festival 68/69, Woodstock 1969, acquire some party favors...Cream, Hendrix, all those groovy 60's bands lend a song!

I want to see a Samuel l Jackson game. The call outs would be r rated and awesome.
Snakes in a pin?
Pin Fiction?
Like a greatest hits of his movies all wrapped into one.
Say what one more time MF.
Its the one thats says bad MF, MF

Yes please! The name alone sells it, which is appropriate since Mr. Jackson famously signed onto the movie after hearing just the title and without even reading the script.

For the LE, one of those can of peanuts gag snakes could spring out of the coin door when you get an extra ball or high score.
