Quoted from mpdpvdpin:No, it ain’t.
No it ain't, meaning Godzilla is not the code name for BTTF, or no it ain't, meaning it's not going to be a monster of a game?
Godzilla ain't coming. It's BTTF. Rest assured.
Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
Quoted from crujones4life:Godzilla ain't coming. It's BTTF. Rest assured.
I'll take that bet. Godzilla is the next cornerstone.
The fact of the matter is that no one really knows. But, I DO think that Godzilla is in fact next and that BTTF will be made. It will be a Kapow game...and likely not coming this year. Stern does not acquire licenses that it does not intend to use. They have TOHO Godzilla and we know this because they snaked it from Spooky. Also, there are a bunch of people at Stern who are amped to make the game. AND...there are Godzilla Easter eggs in TMNT.
Quoted from crujones4life:Godzilla ain't coming. It's BTTF. Rest assured.
Stern will and has let licenses expire without ever making anything with them. But they did Charlie wrong on Godzilla, and they know it. They will make it.
Quoted from Goronic:Seems valid. I was hoping for a vault sprinkled in sometime this year. But if they are kicking out new pins - that are hits - then keep on trucking with the new stuff.
Looks like another IMVE run for this years vault ?

Interesting. I may have to snag it this time around.
WAIT. Holy Shit - 9500 bucks? Never mind. Seriously, a new Stern PRO is almost 10K??? Really!?

That has to be AUD. ~$7100 USD.
Quoted from Donnyman:Man I want in on a BTTF pin, I bet it Rocks Huey Lewis and the News.
It has too. If they found a way to work the greatest version of Earth Angel of all time into the game that would be badass too. Enchantment Under the Sea Dance Multiball!
Quoted from PinMonk:That has to be AUD. ~$7100 USD.
Correctomundo, $9450AUD is what we pay for a pro here in Aus, no if ands or buts.
I.E. no “street” price…
Thats not the domestic price. Probably around $6k domestically
Looks like a great PRO.

Quoted from Vitty:I'm hearing Stern may only launch one more game this year - Keith's. Pretty similar to last year's 3 announcements with 2 available in the year and the 3rd available early the following year.
They cant keep up with what they have.

Wrong and I will also take that bet.
Quoted from gamera9:Is Godilla LE and Back to the Future LE sold out?
Asking around apparently they are! I only buy every third or fourth game and I've always gone for LEs when possible on NIB because it makes the most sense from a financial standpoint. The LE is the top of the line and most of the time there is little or no depreciation on an LE when you go to sell them if not a bit of profit. At this point it seems like the dealers all have their few people that buy every LE and those few may still get them for MSRP, but the rest of us may have to bid on them if spots do come available. At a minimum it will be a mad scramble against people looking to buy and flip.
So at this point I am considering myself a Premium buyer. This does have its advantages too. For one it is the last version to be released so you have time to think it over and maybe play an LE before committing. Also, Stern seems to be selling nice side armor, art blades, toppers and other items that can go on the Premiums. And no, I will never consider a Pro as an option except Iron Man VE.
Speaking of Iron Man VE; is there any truth to a possible small batch of those soon?
Quoted from John_I:Speaking of Iron Man VE; is there any truth to a possible small batch of those soon?
In October. About a month after BTTF is released.

Quoted from smokinhos:Help me with the BTTF stuff? I can't believe how many people are gaga over a remake. Am I missing something?
"Remake" is a misnomer here. That is unless you consider the JJP PoTC to be a remake of the Stern one. Or the JP2 to be a remake of the DE JP. This would be a fresh take on the property (which would hopefully be AMAZING!!!!).
We don’t really know that for sure. JP was a remake of DE JP...with CHAOS, control room, TREX head etc. Sterns is far superior of course. The making of BTTF could be a similar approach...although there IS very little to work with on the original. It’s all moot anyway because we’re getting Godzilla...not BTTF haha

Touché, friend, touché.
Quoted from John_I:Speaking of Iron Man VE; is there any truth to a possible small batch of those soon?
Seems unlikely that we will see a vault this year with the huge backlog Stern has.
Quoted from Only_Pinball:Seems unlikely that we will see a vault this year with the huge backlog Stern has.
If you look at it the other way it might make sense. With all sorts of parts and supply shortages, Stern might actually be in a position to use some parts on hand to make a VE since its different electronics than the current running games?

This is very possible. They would need a bunch of parts though. I would assume the chip shortages would effect the older boardset too. Maybe not.

No. You are not. I'm with you. Bttf was cool...about 35 years ago. Dead franchise, outdated car, idea for a pin was already done...and not very well. Even the ride at universal is gone. There are so many modern ips to do over this 'has been ' stuff. Stranger things and mandolorian are the direction pins should be . Modern stuff.
Quoted from Only_Pinball:Seems unlikely that we will see a vault this year with the huge backlog Stern has.
But if you factor in the CPU board problem with Spike due to chip shortage, maybe it makes sense. Make Iron Man with simpler boards with older chips they can easily get while waiting for their Spike CPU board issue to ease. It's all about keeping the line running...

There are a few squeaky wheels out there who really want this game, so it is a perfect theme for a boutique Kapow game with high price and not so many units sold. And yes, the movie has not aged well. It is unbearable to try and watch in 2021 unlike a lot of the classic older movies. Also, the car is not only outdated, its one of the biggest pieces of shit ever made. I could outrun it 0-60 on a Bigwheel and I'm not sure it can even do 88. But hey, to each their own. To me WPT was one of the greatest themes ever.

Hard disagree. The movie has aged extremely well and is very enjoyable to people viewing it for the first time in 2021.

Bigwheel. Lol. Man, did I love my Bigwheel when I was a kid. I blew through 2 transmissions on mine. The DeLorean was indeed a failed concept car, heavy and slow. But, at least it was expensive! Remember tho, Doc Brown chose the vehicle for its steel body, which presumably could withstand the physical demands of time travel. The story behind the car and John DeLorean’s life are worth a read. He was a successful auto developer at GM for years before starting his own company. 8 years and $175 million later, the DeLorean rolled (slowly) off the line. But sales were even slower and the company soon went under. Soon after John DeLorean was arrested and tried for cocaine smuggling. But he was acquitted due to entrapment. Dude had a colorful life.
Quoted from ahdelarge:So we've gone from Godzilla being a sure thing to Back to the Future once again?
I am still sticking with Godzilla.
