I’m sure there are arguments to be made about who it falls on to promote the machines but... did Metallica (or Kiss or Aerosmith) advertise/promote their own machine in tour flyers or in any media other than through stern? Considering it’s a great game and all getting the band to talk up the game might move a few extra units or at least let their huge fan base know there’s a machine made after their favorite band. Would have loved to hear them casually mention it when they appear on Howard Stern etc. If only there were a job that could allow me to tour with them, set up a few pro & premium models in the venue and lure some fans in to play...

I wonder which mech they'll recycle from the past as the phone booth... maybe the xfiles filing cabinet, dr evil/iron monger mech (which is my bet) or the elevator in Aerosmith redone as a phone booth.

they need to cram all of those Last Jedi toys that didn't sell somewhere right?

maybe an endgame version? it had the snap and the dust... I'd prefer a whole new game but I guess we'll see

remember this is Stern, they don't have the best track record in the game unveiling department

a Fantastic 4 machine would be awesome. 4 players co-op mode plenty of material to work with. so that probably won't happen

what exactly are you going to base a foo fighters game on? that movie is probably your safest bet

what you expect vs the version you'll probably get

I loved James Cameron movies growing up and was excited when he announced he was working on Sci-Fi again... that is until I saw the trailer for the first Avaturd. I didn't care for the movie or the hype surrounding it, the 3D gave me a headache to boot... but I at least give Stern credit for taking a chance & picking a then new/current theme instead of any of the things mentioned above... Maybe this is why the Guardians pin came out around the time of the sequel. Bank on the success of the first

a Cobra kai pin would be great

the closest thing to a Daft Punk machine you'll get is Tron Legacy... Awards are bullshit though, RAM was a great sounding album but I haven't listened to it much since it came out. I still listen to Homework & Discovery + the Tron soundtrack (even though that's more of a collaborative deal than solely theirs) quite a bit.

I figured Crystal Skull would be the final nail in the coffin for that series... yet here we are. My expectations for the movie are beyond low... but there have been good pins based on shit movies so. Hoping for a better BTTF game too.
