Stern, 2017Quoted from frankmac:Hopefully Stern let Elwin go nuts on this pin...
I bet 20 bucks , after we see Godzilla , everyone will think it's the best ever , and 3 weeks later everybody will be asking for the next thing .
Just like every other pin .
Quoted from screaminr:I bet 20 bucks , after we see Godzilla , everyone will think it's the best ever , and 3 weeks later everybody will be asking for the next thing .
Just like every other pin .
Same day as Godzilla is revealed, we will see many ask what's next. Just like every other pin.
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Same day after Godzilla is revealed, we will see many ask what's next. Just like every other pin.
Of course everyone sees the pin and asks what's next , but all good pins have their honeymoon period .

Good news is we already know the answer, Rush by Borg.
Quoted from screaminr:I just saw the Suicide Squad .
It would be perfect for Stern , great story , cool characters , including of course Harley Quinn .
Feels like it would be an easy one to build a pin around for sure… not that I really want one more superhero pin, but would definitely be less disappointed if it was one with a bit of grit.
Quoted from skink91:not that I really want one more superhero pin, but would definitely be less disappointed if it was one with a bit of grit.
It really doesn't feel like a superhero theme to me , maybe some people with abilities , but it's very raw and it's more about the story than people with powers .

I guess when I use the term ‘superhero’, I necessarily lump in all comic book type characters with powers, whether they are Lawful Good, Chaotic Evil, or anything in-between. (Injected some DnD terms for nerd cred there)

I get what you're saying , the thing which is refreshing about the Suicide Squad , is the characters don't really have superpowers . They're just good at what they do . And don't rely on money , for what they do .

Tell me how you really feel. Don’t hold back.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Tell me how you really feel. Don’t hold back.
It's almost 5 in the morning and I do like batman . But when arrogant people will say this is the only superhero you can have , I will give my point of view 
Both Suicide Squad movies were inarguably awful. Batman The Animated Series is a highly regarded masterpiece. Great stories, excellent animation and character design and an unbelievable soundtrack. 90’s kids were glued to the f’n screen when this came out. Meanwhile…superhero fans are WALKING OUT of the theatre on Suicide Squad. So…tell me more about your horrible tastes.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:If we’re going to have another superhero pin make it this or nothing.
4 Batman pins (DE, SEGA, 2 x Stern) already out says this is unlikely.
Well Stern really screwed the pooch by choosing Batman forever over BTAS. Could have turned a classic into another classic. But they chose the equivalent of a Suicide Squad…just the new dumb trash superhero flick.

I really enjoyed the James Gunn one. But I have zero exposure to the comics so maybe that is why I just enjoyed it for the darkly hilarious ride it was in a sea of other TERRIBLE, unenjoyable DC movies.
But I have NO IDEA how they're going to get people to watch a Peacemaker TV show after his story arc in the movie. Hype level zero for me.
Does anyone know the time they normally do the reveal? Early morning 9 am, or sometime in the afternoon or evening? Just wondering.
Quoted from ExSquid:So being new to this, how does this typically go down? Do they release LE’s first then slowly roll out the others or do they release a mix of all of the models at once?
If they follow the Mando release it would be some Pro's for location play then LE units first essentially then the others.
Quoted from PinMonk:4 Batman pins (DE, SEGA, 2 x Stern) already out says this is unlikely.
Quoted from Donnyman:All the same company
Well, eventually, but not at the time they came out.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Treat yo self.
I'm thinking about it, depending on the price, and if I can get one before they are sold out. It would be a great birthday present!
Quoted from cait001:hahaha just trying to think what would possible make IMDM/JP/AIQ seem like Elwin's more subtle and understated pins.
Hopefully everything.
Quoted from JimB:Not so fast, code name clue:
[quoted image]
Where did this picture come from?
I’m also starting to think Godzilla is a code name for something else.
Stern keeps pushing operators that this is going to be a huge hit on route and i don’t see how they could be saying that about a Godzilla theme.
We will know soon but my guess is it’s a more mainstream title
Quoted from crujones4life:I'm holding out hope that Godzilla is code for BTTF because it is a "monster license".
Still hoping this could be true...

I thought it was good too, not sure what people are hoping for in this franchise.
My personal review...SPOILERS.
Quoted from screaminr:Batman can suck cock
I would like to read your fanfics please
Quoted from tonyf1965:Catzilla. Can't wait to see pics of real Godzilla.

got the Run The Jewels soundtrack ready to go for your Catzilla pin!
I am baffled by the prevalence of opinion that Back to the Future is a more profitable license for a pinball machine than Godzilla. A good-but-not-great 80’s movie that is far from the purchasing public’s consciousness vs. a monster movie franchise with three American releases in the past five years and literally toys on Wal-Mart shelves right now. And that leaves nothing to say about the apples vs apples comparisons of legacy and cult status of each respective franchise.
Either way, it is Godzilla, and I have never seen Stern more sure of what they have than they are with this title. They are letting operators buy 3 and are pumping out location games first like they have never offered to do before.

Many consider BTTF a perfect movie. IMO, Godzilla doesn’t even come close to BTTF as far as a wanted theme. Hope both are made and deliver to fans of the franchises.

I think BTTF is THE perfect movie...My favorite of all time. Definitely hoping for both as well

I hope you get BTTF. I fear for the marketability of that license beyond the 40-50 people here that are so enamored with the thought, but I don’t know a thing about such potential. In my opinion there are far better 80s movie licenses for properties that have carried much more general popularity into the 2020s: Ferris Butler’s Day Off, E.T., and Goonies come to mind top of head.
But I do think that Godzilla will prove to be a wildly popular license. I just don’t think there is any objective truth to the belief that a random family walking by a row of operated games will be drawn to a Back to the Future title with anywhere near the frequency of Godzilla. I mean, screeching Kaiju and mass destruction vs. Delorean and MJF likeness. Come on.
I know it probably won’t get done but I would really like some kind of Greek mythology pin with Yeti on art. I am talking good mythology story like gods v Kronos…… if they wanted to go the license route then …..(God Of War)
Quoted from Ty-Arnold:Is it just rumors, or is next title 100% going to be released on Tuesday?
9/8

In the US, at least, Godzilla is box office poison, with only the 2014 version breaking out to 200 million. The 1998, 2019, and 2021 ones were all around 100 million, which is poor for a "blockbuster" with high production costs. I mean I'm definitely curious about how Stern will go with presentation and goals of the game, but it seems like out-of-left-field choice.
That said, nothing that a "keep Elwin happy at Stern" blowout BOM this is rumored to have can't fix. They're not going to disrespect him with a Steve Ritchie BOM.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:If we’re going to have another superhero pin make it this or nothing.
Just found out that it’s Batman TAS 29 year anniversary today. Come on Stern make my dreams come true and announce this.

GoW would be awesome for a theme.
I wish someone would license more Fantasy/SciFi. Lots of great themes that wouldn't break the bank.

Lost in Space Or 3rd rock from the sun….the never ending story.

Back to the Future is HUGE. You massively underestimate the following those films have.
You are blinded by bias for whatever reason. People (probably not on Pinside) spend $100k on Delorean replicas, there are often cast reunions at cons, Nike made the shoe, MJF and CL were on Jimmy Kimmel, there's a BTTF documentary about fandom, the list goes on. None of the IPs you listed, including Godzilla (in the West), have done all of these things.
