Quoted from Pinball-Wiz:Let's be happy we have a current, relevant to time band pin!
Don't forget MET came out 32 years after their debut album, and they still make new music. FF will come out 28 years after their debut album, and they still make new music.
Well, this confirms (IMO) that the next Iron Maiden is the last run.
Stern isn't going to start 2024 with three music pins in the active catalog..... would they?

Drac-Attack!!!
I hope it has somewhere to hide like drac does..... I don't like characters on a rail being exposed all the time. That's why Dialed In and Rolling Stones are so.... meh.
Fine to block shots... but block some shots and GO AWAY. Monster Bash had it right. All the benefits, none of the drawbacks.

Ding Ding Ding! Note I put troll in the title. Here is someone's old retheme.
Quoted from HighProtein:P.s. Kinda derivative of Pool SHARKS game by Bally...
It's litterally Eight Ball Deluxe version 3 (Bad Girls being version 2)
Quoted from superNoid:For those of you not familiar, Foo Fighters is obviously the name of the band but "foo fighters" is actually defined as..."The term foo fighter was used by Allied aircraft pilots during World War II to describe various UFOs or mysterious aerial phenomena seen in the skies over both the European and Pacific theaters of operations. "

TIL. Thanks for sharing that, I guess the raygun image I associate with them makes way more sense now.
I have basically no feelings on the band, I didn't even know I'd heard their music before last week. That kind of alt rock or whatever it is isn't my cup of tea, there is zero chance I will buy this game.
But iirc this Jack Danger's first 'real' game, and I'm really excited for him. Just a very cool journey he's had, and I hope the lukewarm feelings some have over the band doesn't overshadow his effort. I'm going to make an effort to not be mopey about Yet Another Band Pin to support him.
Quoted from frankmac:Reminds me of Ned from retro atomic zombie. Hopefully he comes back down and gives me my refund.

So Trolling Stones?
I'm intrigued. The comic style of the trailer and gameplay concept seems pretty cool and I enjoy FF just fine.
What really has me curious however is that Jack was probably hired into Stern for this design. Although the JP Home Pin design was his I somewhat doubt that was the thing he's been working on (likely for years). I get that Jack isn't Elwin but that doesn't mean he isn't creative enough to put something that rivals out there. (Hell, I've been collecting ideas myself for a time when I might try to tackle a homebrew.)
I guess what I'm saying is I expect this to be a strong design. And if Tanio is the lead on software this will also be his first (he's usually working with Ropp and others)--another interesting development choice.
Quoted from Grantman:Nothing against Foo Fighters, but if they (dealers) couldn't immediately sell all 1,000 James Bond LEs at $13k, I'm sure you can get a Foo Fighters LE. Start contacting dealers and getting on lists. I had several dealers contact me weeks after Bond was released (and supposedly all pre-sold) telling me they had games available.
Foo Fighters LE, $10,000 by Christmas. Even if I was in, Id hold off on this buy.
I still can't believe Foo Fighters is a real theme. I thought for sure it had to be a code name for something else...
Quoted from Rizmo:When Stern shows of Rush how long was it from the teaser to the actual reveal?
I just looked at the Youtube upload dates for Rush. The teaser trailer was December 29, 2021 and the official game trailer was Jan 4, 2022.
The email says next week, I assume tuesday as per usual, from the email:
"A very limited number of Foo Fighters LE pinball machines will be available to purchase on the Stern Store! Keep an eye on the countdown for a chance to purchase one at 11am CT next week"
Usually they drop the full trailier the same day as they open the LE orders on the website.
pasted_image (resized).pngBeen thinking on this but even without seeing the game/playfield this Foo Fighter theme is more interesting to me than Bond. I mean that even more so when the context and hints in the trailer of this being tongue and cheek humor with aliens and stuff. I'm really hoping the theme doesn't take itself too seriously and they have fun with it.
I'm a GenXer who grew up watching Bond but Bond really feels like boomer nostalgia and just doesn't resonate. Foo Fighters makes me feel early 20 something again. Sort of the same way Deadpool with 16-bit art spoke to me.

When you label yourself, they win. Cant you just be a person interested, regardless of the box you want to fit in?
I have a feeling FF will be a lot like IMDN and story focused, not band focused.

This is a good thing! Might be awesome
Quoted from Roostking:Foo Fighters LE, $10,000 by Christmas. Even if I was in, Id hold off on this buy.
If it is a good game, it will sell, just probably not at first. Foo Fighters doesn't excite me--but neither does Iron Maiden (apologies to Maiden band fans--I don't have anything against them, just not my jam). Iron Maiden is a hell of a game that I snubbed at launch because of the theme that I would love to own now after playing it. Maybe Foo will do the same... Maybe it will suck. Fans will buy it no matter what.
I am getting a little tired of the band themes overall though...

Price is going to play a huge role in these "dream themes" $13,000 for an LE is quite a bit more than IMDN LE. There hasnt been a many years long push to grt FF made like there was for IMDN. I doubt they sell out initially.

Agreed on the price variable... That is a lot of cash, and even with prices today, you can get a proven game (or two) for that amount... Either way, I am in the wait and see boat on this game.
Music and Pinball are a natural pair, its no wonder why rock bands get honored with a commercial pin. Plus licensing is much easier than dealing with lawyers and suits scrutinizing every detail to justify their job, Rock bands like FF own their property and will have fun with it. I'm excited and I don't own any FF albums.
To the younger crowd; be patient you will get your turn. Your market will be in this position one day and you will get to listen to the young-ens complain about your old & dusty ass too
On the terms of Music Pins I think Muse would be a wild Pin to be made. Also excited to see the layout for FF, should be fun. I had the opportunity to see them back in 2019 and it was an awesome show!
Quoted from frankmac:Danger and Yeti you know the game is going to look stunning!
I really like the aesthetic of the teaser. I think it has the potential to be a gorgeous game with some cool animations. Jack has a hefty art background so I expect that it’ll be a good looking machine. If it is anywhere as fast as JDJP, it’ll be the new Godzilla.
I was lukewarm on Foo Fighters as a theme at first. I like their music but I don’t love it. Teaser did me in. I put in an order for a premium. Can’t wait!

Ya, with how great he made the home pin I'm super excited to see what he's done with foo. I think this pin might surprise a ton of ppl.
Quoted from screaminr:Lol , a night owl like you . All the action happens at this time of night , just hanging out with a few beers and MacGyver on in the background
MacGyver and beers. That's awesome!

It makes me a little sad that that I’m content with my line up at the moment. I think FF is going to be cool.

Loved Mario. Possibly the most talented ever. He hangs out in my Team Canada bathroom.

Looks like an afterthought anyway, just holding the place for FF.

Nice collection
I'm in the same boat, very happy right and and I'm so over FOMO. I will probably own a Bond and a FF pin some day but it doesn't have to be NIB or soon.
Quoted from jawjaw:Same age and agree. I've heard their songs through the years but cannot think of one. Still, it's better than another dinosaur rock band and step in the right direction. Hope it's successful so Stern will consider more modern, alternative band themes or at least more variety. Love to see a country, punk, grunge, or electronic theme someday.
Trendy alternative shit sucks, hope the pin is fun regardless. No foo or 311 or Incubas or Korn just horrible but Dave Grohl rocks and maybe sneak a Probot song from his side project more rock n roll song called shake your blood in for Lemmy.

Looks like you have plenty of room for Jack's newest creation next to Jack's first creation!

that’s awesome!
Quoted from John_I:OK, so Venom is finally next after FF. I'm going to pass on both
You are not alone
I am not sure FOMO is granted for FOO Fighters? Do you guys think this game will have mass appeal? Do you think 1000 13k LE's are going to be fought over or will they collect dust in distributors warehouses? Guys watch a 10 second teaser and pull triggers on Premiums? Simmer down now-or at least see the layout and some gameplay? If you are a huge FF fan-ok I get it-go for it. But if you are just looking for something new-I feel this one may be best to sit on the sidelines and wait and see. I could be wrong but I do believe the LE prices will trend downwards unless it is absolutely a spectacular shooter. What if Pro is the way to go? I know this is crazy talk but-how about waiting to play this one in person first and then make a decision if it is right for you personally.

The reveal is next week
Quoted from pinmister:how about waiting to play this one in person first
TPF should be great this year with several new game reveals. Foo Fighters, Galatic Tank Force, and a JJP new announcement? Reminds me of the old TPF days where the timing was just right for new game reveals-makes pinball shows exciting to attend wanting to play the latest and greatest.
Quoted from frankmac:What is the name of the Foo Fighters song In the teaser video?
All My Life from the One by One album
Quoted from fooflighter:All my Life from the One by one album
Thank you! I need to get my jam on!
Quoted from frankmac:Thank you! I need to get my jam on!
It's a great song, saw them open with it at Cobo Arena in Detroit on the Anniversary of when KISS played there for the first time - curtain drop right when the song kicks in was EPIC, one of the best concert openers from them that I'd seen in over 15 live shows ...Suprisingly that album almost never got made and almost ended the Foo's and Dave went off on side projects and played drums with Josh Homme from QOTSA for a stint

Are you going get one sight unseen? Lol.
You have got to be the most excited FF fan on pinside and I'm sure your distro has you on the top of the list... Do you have room for it? something in my useless knowledge memory banks thinks you had room for 9.
(PS. There's a gap in your streak by not acquiring a 2022 title ... like Rush )
