Quoted from Fsdre:So is venom next or what?!?!
Probably, or some other Marvel property like Thor or Dr. Strange. It seems like Stern has maintained a pattern of Band Pin then Marvel Pin then Surprise Pin (Stranger Thing, Godzilla, Elvira) for a while. Not criticizing them, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it ended up being Venom with Ozzy/Black Sabbath music, which frankly sounds freakin amazing!
Quoted from DiabloRush:ELO would be awesome. Am I the only person that thinks "Time" is an utter masterpiece of a concept album?
Nope. Time is a masterpiece, and I think it is sad that it doesn't have the recognition/awareness that many other great concept albums have.
So maybe I dreamed reading this somewhere recently, but (besides the obvious ailments) is Ozzy’s health declining? Maybe he’s not long for this world, so they put the machine that he’s involved with to be the next release? Sort of like they did with BM66 and Adam West…get it pushed out while he’s still around to say something about it.

Is his health declining? It has been declining since the 80’s due to alcohol and drug abuse. He now also has Parkinson’s. Frankly., given his lifestyle over the years, it is a minor miracle he has lasted this long.

Ok yes, Parkinson’s…that’s what I was trying to recall. Thanks!

From 'I am Ozzy':
"..When we did the CalJam Festival at the Ontario Motor Speedway in 1974, for example, there was all kinds of bollocks going on backstage with the other bands. Things like, ‘Well, if he’s got a pinball machine, then I want a pinball machine,’ or ‘If he’s got a quadraphonic sound system, then I want a quadraphonic sound system.’.."
So, I'm guessing getting a pinball to his own name would actually mean something to Ozzy!
Hoping the Pro 007 is loaded and I do not need to spend an extra $5000 for fluff and lipstick
Gomez makes great mechs so LE may be way to go?
Bond James Bond
Quoted from pinmister:Gomez makes great mechs so LE may be way to go?
If Deadpool is any indication, you'll be fine with a pro. BM66 had a crazy huge mech of course, but they also didn't have to worry about how a pro would play without it.
Quoted from yancy:If Deadpool is any indication, you'll be fine with a pro
It has been hit or miss for me on Pro vs LE. All comes down to interactive mechs. Is the interactive mech cool enough and does not disrupt flow too much-then it's worth it for me. 007 is a theme I would go LE on if it is loaded with mechs and has what I am looking for
Quoted from Fsdre:What are the odds we get an announcement today???? I say 1000 to 1
Stern already said next game is August. Why would they introduce a Ozzy pin at Comic-con or announce any machine prior to what they already stated?
August-Stern will announce 007

August-Stern will announce 007
Because they have done exactly that in the past. They squashed the Jurassic Park rumours a few years ago by releasing Star Wars "The Pin" at Comiccon a few years ago... followed by a cornerstone Jurassic Park launch the next month. Stern has absolutely done this in the past.

80%
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Stern has absolutely done this in the past.
Yea but this time they are playing catch up with back-orders from distros
Distros are finally starting to get their orders for lots of pissed off peeps-so Stern introducing anything sooner would be another slap in the face. Focus on service and do what you say you are going to do

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:$100 donation to Project Pinball if I'm wrong.
Stern will announce a new "non-cornerstone" game in the next 2 weeks. Specifically a Venom pin.
Why?
Stern has floor space at at the San Diego Comic Con and is sharing that space with "Rebellion Republic".
https://n1a.goexposoftware.com/events/cci22/goExpo/floorPlan/viewFloorPlan.php?ei=528&zb=3721
The last time Stern had space at the Sand Diego Comic Con it was in 2019 when the Stern Space was physically inside the "Star Wars space" see post 3968 here https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/what-will-be-the-next-stern-pinball-machine/page/80#post-5098330 They launched the Star Wars home Pin about this time (+/- a week). Stern also launched their next Cornerstone game, Jurassic Park, about a month after the announcement of the Star Wars Home Pin.
The timeline for this lines up perfectly with Stern announcing their cornerstone pin next month, which they have publically announced they will do.
I am not super familiar with Venom (I though it was the comic book character until I opened the Rebellion Republic site" https://rebellionrepublic.com/
What I am not sure on is if this will be a Venom "Home Pin" or something more limited yet in the same form factor like the "Heavy Metal" pin. My money is on the latter.
So, we will get a new non-cornerstone Venom Pin from Stern, most likely a Venom "Heavy Metal" style premium price in a mostly Home Edition pinball body in the next 2 weeks, no later than 24 July.
[quoted image]Well, looks like Knapp arcade beat me to it.
I stand by my earlier prediction. If Stern has supply issues (which it does) and the critical part in its supply chain is node boards (I believe it is) they can produce more pins if they are making Home model pins because each pin uses less boards.
I can't argue the point too much more, but we will be both proven right or wrong over the weekend.... possibly in 4 hours and 4 minutes.
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Home model pins
I think they stuck Jack in the home pin department and gave him Jaws
Quoted from pinmister:I think they stuck Jack in the home pin department and gave him Jaws
I hope so. I think it is a winning model for Stern (although not my thing). They can reuse assets across product lines when they do this (there is alot of recycled Pro/Premium/LE JP and Star Wars in the home models). Not every pin needs to be super complicated.

Gomez said Jacks next machine after JP was a cornerstone, and Jack refers to his next game while he streams as his cornerstone.
Quoted from Acronymicon:Gomez said Jacks next machine after JP was a cornerstone, and Jack refers to his next game while he streams as his cornerstone.
This is correct. Jack designed JP Home as a contractor for Stern, he's now been hired as a full-time employee to design a cornerstone.
Quoted from Da-Shaker:I’m happy with Venom, but SPAWN would be crazy. Todd McFarlane created both characters.

I would prefer a Spawn over Venom
Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
Quoted from Rizmo:I would prefer a Spawn over Venom
So long as Sam & Twitch are in it, I'd be down to play a few games.
Spawn evokes this odd feeling for me, like it's nostalgic in a way yet not quite old or niche enough for me to ever be totally invested. The character seemed to be everywhere back in the day and I think I just got tired of seeing him.
I hope they get John Leguizamo to voice Clown, he was the only decent part of the live-action movie. I can imagine seeing a large Violator head that opens his mouth to shoot the ball into.
Quoted from Merendino:I can imagine seeing a large Violator head that opens his mouth to shoot the ball into.
How about a clown head bash toy that rotates to reveal a Violator head that locks & fires balls.
Not that there's a snowball's chance in hell Stern is doing a Spawn game.
Hopefully they reuse the projector concept again like in stranger things on this machine. One of the coolest things in a pinball machine.
Totally unrelated to current topic flow, themes I would enjoy seeing:
Minions
John Wick
The Sandman (Neil Gaiman)
Quoted from Fsdre:10 mins away….
Wuts happening?
Quoted from crujones4life:Wuts happening?
Nothing I guess! Hahaha. Ozzy was coming to stern booth at 12p

They are announcing BTTF3: Western Carnival to compete with TS4. 
No Biff, no Doc, no Marty.... but it will have a frisbee pie plate taking up a quarter of the PF.
Callouts by Needles.....

I'm a buyer!
12pm pst 3pm est time shoutout was just the countdown for the Ozzy meet&greet.
I believe sterns not sending their next games out until August 2022 but that doesn't mean we won't see the physical game or see gameplay before they ship them. That usually happens a week or two before the distributors get their games. Fingers crossed it's Brian's best design yet like I was told from a buddy of mine who builds machines mon-Fri.
Quoted from mjpinballs:I have heard from a reliable source no new game till October.
From the top ropes with a soul crusher! If this is true it would require another announcement as I’m pretty sure everyone is expecting august
