Quoted from PinStalker:Terrible table..... but look at those graphics right off an 80's blister pack!!! That would be soooooo good!!
Easy dream theme for me.
GI Joe (season 1)
Transformers (g1)
Master of the Universe (season 1)
That would be the ultimate trifecta.
Some real 80's nostalgia pins.
Quoted from Zartan:Wow Peaches! You seem upset by it?!?
Would you pay $7k for a Bally Playboy retheme? I would hope not.
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Would you pay $7k for a Bally Playboy retheme? I would hope not.
I was talking about the theme! I doubt that stern would make a playboy retheme! I would assume they would put a little spin on a machine in 2022!

Then it seems you should be specific about you are asking.
Seawitch retheme with minor adjustments = Beatles. I don't recall anyone ever asking for that layout to be Beatles. Many did ask for a Seawitch remake though in the past.
Quoted from Zartan:Wow Peaches! You seem upset by it?!?
That layout looks like a 10 year old designed it. I wouldn’t pay $1,000 for it delivered.
Until you donate to pinside your opinion doesn’t really matter! The rest of us are having a conversation!

Is this what everyone pays for? Lol
Pretty much! The rest of us donate so you can enjoy something for free! Fall off your wallet and contribute! Maybe then we will care about what you have to say!

Oops looks like your hero has stood up for you to downvote me! My feelings are so hurt by that! Lmao!

Quoted from docquest:I listened to that episode and at about the 70min mark when Franchi and Chris say they know what license Jack is talking about Franchi starts humming the James Bond theme (but then they also play the first few notes of jaws theme in rhe background). The theme Franchi was humming though was defintely Bond not Jaws.
So could the "just a movie poster worth of assets" refer to Bond instead of Jaws? I hope not cuz, I think Bond would translate to a pinball game much better than Jaws.
I'd welcome Jaws or Bond. Just no more band pins for a while. With the exception of Iron Maiden I've never played a band pin I was able to get into.
Hey not the next one out the door, but they've done tv stuff before. With the "90s show" coming, a "That 70s show" has a lot of material if they could license the tunes.....
Quoted from HydrogenHuman:Dad rockers probably dislike anime too much for Stern to take the risk, but maybe an older anime like Speed Racer could be appealing.
I grew up on Speed Racer and Robotech, enjoy Miyazaki, but anything with a Naruto or Pokemon vibe is eye cancer to me. And I'm something of a dad rocker, so... story checks out?

Almost anything would translate better than Jaws. He's right, "a movie poster" is about as expansive as it gets for Jaws.
Depending on assets Bond could be super deep. Or do they create their own? Use all the bonds as different modes? like star wars and the character use there.
I think if they tied the code into the style of the movie then Jaws could be a very unique pinball.
After pressing start you stand there staring at an empty lifeless ocean themed playfield for and hour until slowly the derr dummmm build up starts. Then suddenly multiball is auto launched and the playfield lighting goes dim so you can't really see what is going on. Everything flashes at random giving you no clue what to do before as quickly as it had begun all the balls are drained and you stand there waiting for the next multiball to begin.

That would be a bold choice, that's for sure.
Quoted from J85M:The Boys
Star Trek Strange New Worlds
John Wick
Fast & Furious
Mortal Kombat
DREDD
Mario Kart
Anyone of of these I’d be excited to buy.
Mario Kart in particular could be amazing. There is so much that could be done with it.
Quoted from bigchief99:Sonic Spinball (huge potential)
Already have a Sonic made, only wish it was being produced for all! Great job, McSquid !

I, like most, that donate to Pinside do so to help with the hosting and maintenance costs - not the right to make posts.
All pinball enthusiast and fan opinions should be valued - whether we agree with them or not - or if they make donations or not.

I did my Hot Wheels in Mario Cart and I love it.

No streams crossed they are officially Hot Wheels..

I was keeping this to myself, but since we're still talking anime -- yes. I'm out for anything after 2000. Just give me this:

I don't know that it would make a good pinball, but I've been actively watching the 1979 Gundam OVAs on Netflix on the rowing machine. It's great watching a clean legit copy.
As a kid I saw a few episodes on adult swim, and bought a bootleg copy off of ebay. The bootleg copy was a VHS of a Chinese VCD rip of the original dubbed in Chinese with English subtitles complete with the DVD menu at the start of each episode. Remember how you used to be able to make 6 hour long VHS tapes. My favorite quote from the subtitles was when it said, "Ready make the Tampon Fire!" and the ships cannons were shot.
Good times.
I have a dream. My dream is that one day you can decide you want a game after playing it in person, call your favorite distro who will have it in stock, purchase said game, and have it delivered within a week. I have a dream.

Genocyber pin, when?!

Not sure why that came to mind

I share that dream as well.
While the pandemic shortages were in full effect i toyed with the idea of picking up jack danger's Jurassic Park Home Pin, but i was never able to play it in person and a home pin is a bit risky...

That's too old-school.... the new way is to wait a year, and only after putting down a non-refundable deposit. 
This is far superior, as you have a year of anticipation to build up before delivery.
It makes for happier pinheads too, as all will have skin in the game and have to "tow the line" instead of tomato'ing machines with "Free-choice" and objectivity.
The natural ups and downs of cycling between buyers remorse and the elation of news releases/teasers will be more fun than the pin itself!!!
What the manufacturers need to come to terms with is taking in all that money, creating and storing all the pins, then shipping them all at once!!!
The pinworld will melt down in week-long orgy of happiness and disappointment as all rip open their boxes after a year of rumor, spin, propaganda and conjecture.
After a week of playing, the exhausted pinheads need a new fix, yank out their wallet, and the blind cycle begins anew!! 
The ultimate new-school rush will be the annual "Surprise Pin", where you put all the money down, wait a year for the box to arrive, and no one knows what's inside!!!
12K for a one day only LE!!! Get it or not!!!
Is it BTTF? Is it Transformers G1?
Only Gary knows.... and he has your 12K!!!!
After a year of waiting, the big truck arrives, an event replaying all around the country and the world..... could it be Jaws? Or My Little Pony?
A 12K pin turning into 30K if it happens to be GI Joe Season One, Michael Jackson, or Voltron.......... or does the pin end up being worth 6K as a Matrix 4, Rambo 3, or Hanson Umm-Bop?
Howls of outrage on pinside over missing the "Dream Theme of their Life!!!"...... or outrageous laughter over the stupidity of playing the pin casino and getting Rainbow Brite?
"Imagine all the people....... pin'ing 'round the world...... WoooHoooo---Arrrrahhhh'Garryyyy"

Those were the days 
Voltron please. ThunderCats, Star Blazers would all be great.
One can only dream of Voltron. 5 lions collected to form a mechanical Voltron & multi-ball, the mech of all mechs.
Maybe Elwin & the same team who did Godzilla or Gomez could one day pull it off.

please don't it's my home-brew theme and I'd lose all momentum if a real one was announced, lol. (but would obviously buy an LE and probably end up saving money)
Bond and Back to the Future would be great themes for a pin, but doesn't seem very Stern. But did find Godzilla to be a surprise.
Quoted from PanzerKraken:Bond and Back to the Future would be great themes for a pin, but doesn't seem very Stern.

My local distro had one. I played it and ended up buying his floor model. Reviews have been positive. It's a fun layout with an easy to grasp rule set

Loved this show as a kid. Would of loved to pilot a lion. Now as an adult it looks tiring. You are the left leg after forming Voltron your ass has to run all the way up to the head. You put in a transfer to be a lion in the arm or the main lion. They tell you one day but it never happens. You are stuck running around that giant robot.

Star Blazers ! I bought the entire series on DVD about 10 years ago. Great show. Hard to believe it’s from 1979.
I gave a few discs to by buddies son for Christmas. He is a huge Star Wars fan. Anyway a couple years later he was off to college. My buddy said that he didn’t take much with him but he took the Star Blazers dvds that you gave him! I asked him about it on a holiday break when he was home. He said his friends really liked it but had never heard of it before.

Ghost in the Shell would be an auto buy for me. Robotech would also be right up there.
