It's the classic japanese Toho Godzilla license Stern has. Not the modern US one.

But yeah, praising Brian Eddy is legit!

the negative votes are a positive thing when you consider its only one person doing it , and we are not that off the rails we were talking about cool pin themes for stern , honestly some people before us were trolling off topic we needed to change the subject back , and i enjoy reading about all the possibilties , i mean what if there was an old school godzilla pin made , or a blues brothers , or a jaws theme or elvira 3 would be awsome , these are interesting ideas and how cool might they look in a line up next to other pins in the dining room

God I hope it's Godzilla

Elvira ...

Ken Lapoint you are the piece of garbage! You threatened us and P1. Yeah, Tommy screwed up in Tacoma and has since apologized. Have you? You’re a spiteful and dishonest little man. Good luck finding a dealer in Canada that will sell to you.

I think we have all had enough of makens slanderous posts. He is free to express his opinions but there’s no need to slander people. I don’t know why the mods simply kick him out of threads but leave his slander up. Wouldn’t surprise me if someone brings a lawsuit his way. There are laws in Canada as to what you can and cannot say. Yes a man made a mistake but to not only slander him, his family and anyone who knows them is crossing the line. Express yourself but leave the trash talk out of it. You got a bad game, stern didn’t warranty it and you hate your distributor. We get it...bye.

If you call em on the phone there's "Kana da"!

(Wich means "noone there" in german.)

...

Jokes you have to explain are the worst.

Although I think this will make a nice pin I surely hope pick some new themes in the future. Many people were saying Jaws to be the next pin and I think that can be a great pin as well. From Elvira we got the party monsters and scared stiff. Both pins which are highly rated by most people (personally I couldn't care less for both) and for black knight: been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
When you look at the Munsters: no one saw that coming and I think it's a great machine. Same for Deadpool and Guardians.

Only retheme I want to see is a nice reboot of BTTF. That DE thing is a turd unfortunately and with modern techniques you can.... well, let me put it this way:
"wireramps, wireramps? Where were going we don't need'.......... wireramps!"

"If my calculations are right, when this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious shit" -Doc Brown
I need a proper bttf pin in my life. As long as it's not just a Flux Capacitor bash toy up the middle. (I'd probably still buy one lol)

Omg the Flux Capacitor would make a pretty great mode tree. That or the flames from the Delorean maybe going up the playfield.
"Nobody calls me chicken" mode
-Knock out Biff mini Wizard
-magnets need to be involved in Hoverboard mode
-Clock Tower multiball!
-Newpaper with changing headlines to display high scores and achievement (somewhat like Batman 66 did)
-original score and soundtrack are a must
-ridiculous amount of amazing callouts
-fan base spanning most generations
I've thought about this game more than I should have. Why isnt this being made?

I asked Gary in person 3 years ago... he said the collectors market is perfect for it but the location market isn't.
I said, maybe, but I would buy one immediately if it would be made.

Was he talking about Black Knight Sword of Fury or Back to the Future? All joking aside I think BTTF would do well for the collectors market and the location market. One of the most recognizable franchises in existence.

Make it so Stern-I would be a buyer for sure.

Sounds a little similar to Munsters, with the exception under 30s actually know what BTTF is.

Paging Gary, stop talking silly and make us a kick ass BTTF pin.

JJP doesn't have a bttf in the pipeline which I heard. With Deeproot having a big 80s license i'm a bit afraid and hopefull at the sametime that somebody claimed it.

Munsters = over 45 (being generous)
Bttf = 5+
My son (5) would instantly recognize a Delorean or Hoverboard and want to play. He has ACTUALLY SEEN a Munsters LE and I couldnt get him off of Jurassic Park to try it.

Odd choices going on at Stern

I'm excited about Elvira 3, that could be fun. But, the rest of the rumors and latest releases really seem pretty blah to me theme-wise. Munsters did nothing for me, Iron Maiden was better than that but still just OK, Black Knight meh, Godzilla seems a totally crap theme in my eyes. Deadpool was the last Stern theme I thought was pretty cool from a theme perspective.

I would just like to see a truly adult theme and serious. Not some fan boy comic book/band/movie franchise/etc. I mean, some of those are OK, but we've just been inundated with them for the past decade. When I heard the rumor about Pulp Fiction being possible, my ears perked up. That, thematically, I could really get on board with and seems awesome. Has there been any other whispers regarding that?

Decided to make a BTTF thread.

Sadly Gary is right.

Wrote that sometime allready:
Sine I'm a comic artist I sit at various conventions and somewhere under 30 the number of people that never even heard of BTTF increase significantly.

But with that argument I don't get how Munsters got made.
Maybe the argument is that with Herman looking like Frankensteins Monster, young people will still recognize the general Monster Theme.

Former fanexpo empolyee
I dont know what convention you were at but almost all 12+ I've met know back to the future. There is more of a younger crowd than youd think

Yeah theres a childs book (wich I think has not been translated, but that was a while ago). I didn't say it's a dead license. It's just not as known today like other franchises.
When you see cosplayers you see the Stormtroopers, Ghostbusters and stuff but no Marty or Doc. You see a lot of DeLorean wich became an own Subculture symbolizing the 80s on every second synth pop cover.

Edit: Oh and plz remember I sit at german Comic Cons, Game Cons and others... It may vary from country to country.

Ok so fair enough that you are in Germany and things are different here in Canada but Marty is a very popular costume choice and the rainbow hat from the second movie became a trendy thing for last few years. My local convention last year had the entire cast reunited. My son and I got our picture taken in the delorean. I think it must be much bigger on my side of the world.
(We were Pikachu and Ash the pokemon trainer. He took off his ear hat thing)

Cool!

We only have David Hasselhoff visiting some Cons.

I state: That reaction was intended.

You usually can't afford to fly in big Stars from overseas so you use... well... cheaper ones.

So for meeting the BTTF cast I remember sitting on a Con with the first "Jennifer" (wich was replaced in Parts 2 & 3)...

(I suppressed that memory because it was a horrible event and I heard when it was over the organizer went right into jail. )

But I personally liked David Hasselhoff when I watched Knight Rider as a kid.
Would buy a Knight Rider pinball sight unseen.

I see lots of people saying Godzilla now what happened to the Jurassic World rumors people were mentioning.

Bill & Ted will save us from Godzilla!

Stanger things?

At this point anyone not 100% sure what the next two games are really sux at the Internet.

I sux at Internet.

From what I understand:

Jurassic World: July
Elvira 3:October

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Elvira and Godzilla/Jurassic World are just pretty solid rumours. Waiting for proof. (Elvira have some pretty good proof). I'm also waiting to see what they vault next. If you believe everything you read on the internet, you really sux at the internet .

Guys, Im pretty sure the next vault is Last Action Hero. It is even included in digital form on the Stern Classics Pinball Arcade Game.

Well I guess I’m buyin nothing for the rest of the year. Bit snoozy for me. I’m sure a lot will love it but I’m out.

Snap! Could make a good game from Jurassic World but I’d prefer a new Jurassic Park pin with lcd, the original film has aged well and it’s vastly superior to Jurassic World and the less that’s said about Fallen Kingdom the better.

Plz add smilie face. XD

I'd prefer that personally over Elvira. To each their own, and im sure the game will be awesome, but once again Stern is going with a theme that's not really relevant to my generation.

I’m with you. The next pin rumors are uninspiring to me. The only thing that may convince me to purchase Stern NIB at all would be a Munsters or GB re-work. Otherwise, I’m waiting for a later run Wonka LE.

Brian. Eddy. That name should make anyone give serious consideration to any Stern pin with his name on it. I'm not psyched that it might be Jurassic World, but the man hasn't made a bad pin and HAS made a handful of all-time classics. Interested to see what he does with Stern next.

Maybe a re-theme of Munsters to Stranger Things!

Lower play field is the upside-down. The ramp rises up to reveal the demogorgon. That's as far as I've thought it out.

Very true. I might buy a Tele Tubby theme if Brian was in on it!

I wouldn't say no to that if he did it. I watched a LOT of that show when my kids were small. Very relaxing for naptime.

Uh-Oh!

Lalalala lalalalalalalala!

That show is creepy.

If you were a baby, toddler, or parent needing a break, it was AMAZING. I am forever indebted to teletubbies.

Gave me flu like symptoms watching it with my toddler every morning at 6AM on PBS .... but he liked it.

It came on in the afternoon here, which was perfect for a calm-down into naptime.

That said, I would never want a Teletubbies pin. For the record.

But at what expense to the childrens future well being lol.
