One thems I would really like, and is still relevant, is a new South Park. I stopped watching it for several years but have recently started watching it again. The creators just signed a huge contract for several more seasons including a couple movies.

I doubt it. Rush LE will be a “slow” burn especially at these prices. They’ll have to limit number to 500 or under. No doubt it will still sell out eventually, but won’t be unobtainable like GZ.

I doubt they’ll sell more than 10 down here.

They can pull a spooky and sell you guys the 30 odd foot of grunts pin lmfao

same layout of course

Distributors here won't even put you on a waitlist because they have so many...I'm pretty sure it'll sell out quickly.

That will probably sell more lol

Fair enough. Rush might be huge in North America. Just have memories of Aerosmith which was a slower burn - and maybe even a bigger band? It did eventually sell out - just not as fast as other titles.

But the market is hot - Borg design, cool art, Ed Robertson’s involvement - might surprise me. I bought ASLE because it looked awesome- not because I loved the band. Ended up being one of my favorite games.

They really don’t have a huge following .Small but dedicated group of people(male 45-65) who even if we’re not into pinball would probably buy one anyway .

If Borg is on Rush, who is rumored to be on BTTF?

So let me wrap my head around this.

Pin is months away from being even considered as a release…if that title happens.

BTTF LE version, zero info, already sold out? Waiting list? For vaporware?

When did this become a manufacturers market for insanity?

Good luck with that shit. I’m out on Stern’s.

Rather have an expensive Queen pin than Rush. I’d buy a queen!

Whatever it is ,better have a big juicy set of b__b_ on it !What happened to pinball ?

I like more than 3 actually Frankmac :

1- Subdivisions
2- Limelight
3- YYZ(probably the best for a nice lightning multiball start)
4- Tom Sawyer
5- The Trees
6- La Villa Strangiato(about 9 minutes length)
7- Xanadu….(but if this one is for a Multiball, it will be a 10 minutes Multiball and the first 5 minutes just instrumental …)
8- Far Cry(this one in Live version)

Anyway, if this is made I like their songs

Add to that list:
Manhattan Project
Red Barchetta
The Big Money
Roll The Bones

And it would never make the cut, but The Necromancer would be awesome!

Think my dream machines would be (realistically-ish):

The Offspring
Some sort of 90’s alternative rock mashup or heavy metal mashup (all decades) pin (but not Heavy Metal)
Adventure Time
Jaws
The Goonies
Neverending Story
Willow
Black Sabath
Get Smart
Abbot & Castello

There’s more, but they are either too niche or just got to think about it more

I mean, I think that’s a good thing. Means pinball is strong; a lot better than the opposite, or where it was 20-some years ago

Working Man please !

YES!!!

The Goonies is for sure one of my dream themes. Just visited the Goonies house and other Goonies filming locations in Astoria Oregon a month ago and it felt like coming home, even though I never been there. The movie has that big of a nostalgic impact for me.

Pinball Bros. Next 2022

Actually, Hot Wheels put dinosaurs in Hot Wheels. That's part of their YouTube series, which surprisingly, isn't half bad.

I say AP because I think they could put better quality in.

Best confirmation on pinside!

Never ending story all day

Would love to see a Willow pin!

Labyrinth….David Bowie Goblin King

I keep thinking on RUSH it should be as soon as you let the plunger go Tom Sawyer starts. That first note would be perfect for that!

And I'm thinking the opening of Spirit of Radio...until you plunge the ball and then you hear the first chord.

Ugh. I'm probably out on Queen, then. I don't trust these boutique companies at all after all the shenanigans that have gone on. (With the exception of Spooky!)

They should eventually do a Predator.

This statement seems contradictory

I agree. They could take the one already made,complete it,and start manufacturing and selling them. So we can have what was promised long ago. Or make a new one. I mean the theme isn’t cursed.

I’ll bring up Never Ending Story, again.

sounding like your Never Ending Story

BTTF is The Never Ending Story.

The Vpinball version is playable until Stern makes the announcement.

Stern probably trying to find a company to make the stuffed doll or plastic Falcor for the game

Some have even claimed to have seen the tattoo on Gary's back....

I hope Stern does Rush next. I need a theme that I’ll never buy cuz I need to save money for when then somebody releases Sabbath

With Trudeau designing?

Thanks. That just means I'll get my game one person sooner.

So let me see if I get this right:
Predator == Michael Jackson ( nothing but thumbs up )
Predator == John Trudeau ( nothing but thumbs down )

EDIT: was true at time of post, but no longer the case

But will you promise to stay out of the rush threads?

Michael received mixed results actually but to be fair one was recently convicted of being gross while the other (though extremely suspect) was not convicted of any crimes and has been dead for over a decade.
Also, Trudeau is a sore spot and a blight on the hobby you are posting about so there's also that.

Maybe because it wasn't presented as a Michael Jackson pin designed by Trudeau.

Or maybe not. Comedy isn't good if it isn't reaching. Sometimes it doesn't land.

Too close to home

I'm So Fly I NEVER LAND! The real "Never Never Land"... I keep saying it make a Disney World / Disney Land UNDER GLASS !!

From a year ago in this thread but modified...

I've always thought they should do "Walt Disney World" under glass. It can incorporate all of their major 4 Disney World theme parks, the rides can be both incorporated onto the playfield along with the LCD of a POV while being on that particular ride. They have iconic characters, rides, themes, songs etc.

-Represent the 6 major parks:
Disneyland Park
California Adventure
Epcot
Animal Kingdom
Hollywood Studios
Magic Kingdom
-Characters galore Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Chip N Dale, Figment
-Carousel of progress the backboard or backbox can change rotate scenes from different time periods
-Spinning "tea cups" that interact with the ball
-Mr. Toad's Wild Ride - Pop Bumper Area
-Cinderella's Castle multiball / bridge.
-Spiel call outs from the attractions / narrations .... "Mr Morrow, Paging Mr. Tom Morrow...."
-Midway Toy Story game can be played on LCD with button on lockdown bar
-Jungle Cruise audible call outs / jokes,
-People Mover goes through some of the rides that the ball can travel on (*spiel random lines when riding it play)
-Expedition Everest Yeti interact with the ball.
-Astro Orbitor - Just a simple mechanical moving toy that starts moving when you complete Tomorrowland mode
-Space Mountain mode playfield has a star effect / LEDs
-Dumbo can magically lift the ball / flly to a different area of the playfield.
-Inverted loop (metal loop ramp) for the Aerosmith Rock N' Rollercoaster
-Travel obtain countries / inserts from The world showcase at EPCOT,
-Buzz Lightyear Video mode on LCD screen using flipper buttons and lockdown button to aim / fire (or plunger could be optical)
-Monorail around and through the backglass 7 seas lagoon can carry the ball.
-Parades / Fireworks / Lighting LCD / LED's
-Soarin' Around The World / Avatar Video mode / control glider / banshi with flippers
-Tower of Terror Twilight Zone flippers flip reversed OR ball can "drop" down from the backbox elevator shaft once multiball is activated.
-The haunted mansion can easily create peppers ghost effect on the playfield / LED creepy lighting.
-Unlock RETRO retired rides like Mr. Toad & 20,000 Leagues under the sea LCD POV Ride footage

They really do need to make a new South Park pin that's actually good. There's SO MUCH CONTENT to draw on now that's come out since the SEGA pin. Would be easy for AP or Spooky because all those video assets are already made and ready to go.

Yep , same with Simpsons and Family Guy and also do a Futurama .

We need a Simpsons: Treehouse of horror with full assets!!! BIG BIG BIG THEME. Would sell like hotcakes.

AND a Futurama of course
