Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Any ideas what this could be? I googled purple martin. It's a bird.

Quoted from PinMonk:Ok, maybe it'll be called something other than a vault, but that's essentially what Spike LotR will be. For the sake of simplicity, vault is the easiest thing to call it.
I'm not comparing busted-ass LotR prices to a brand new enhanced vault, but even broke-ass LotRs go for 5k-ish. Nice regular ones are 7k and up, and LEs go for $8-10k or more. When you see secondary market pricing like that, it's an opportunity - CGC has made a whole business out of it.
Gomez isn't stupid. He's seen the prices going crazy over time, and that pin is his baby, so an enhanced Spike LotR vault would be a great success, especially in light of the dud sales year Stern had in 2019 and the really poor start for 2020 with Stranger Things underperforming and a surprise re-vault that literally NO ONE was looking for. That, and the new very expensive LotR Amazon series coming. The marketing synergy will be about as perfect as you could want if you're Stern and have a revered game with a proven ruleset you can upgrade to refresh it and sell along with the show launch.
Stern needs to be careful with the vaults. Vaults compete with their original pins on the secondary market. This creates more supply which eventually reduces the prices of pins on the secondary market. Take a look at the price of any popular Stern pin machine before and after a VE was announced. Also look at the price drop of NIB pins that are being sold a few months after being bought. You are seeing $500-$1000 depreciation on almost new stern pins. Why buy new when you can buy at a discount a few months later. Collectors specifically and operators to a lessor extent need a healthy secondary market to sell their formally NIB pins. Without a good option to sell these pins, buyers will less likely buy NIB. Stern does need to keep an eye on the secondary market because it does effect their sales.

Would love to see an Addams Family based on the TV show. It would go right next to my Batman 66 and Munsters.
My wish list for rock pins would be Queen and LED Zep. You could have a lot of interesting modes for Queen. And maybe a Beastie Boys Pin? With Sabotage mode where you steal points from other players.

Quoted from aeonblack:People keep talking about Jaws, and I love Jaws, but I just don't see how you could make it into an entertaining pinball machine. Make shots to dodge Jaws at the beach. Make shots to find Brody. Make shots to get Brody to find Quint. Make shots to repeatedly avoid Hooper because Richard Dreyfuss is a dolt and the only stain on the movie. Make shots to get on boat. Make shots to listen to more of Quints stories. Make shots to chum the water. Seriously. Has anyone who drools over a Jaws pin actually thought it through? It would have to be the most linear pinball game ever made to even work, or it would have about as much in common with the movie as the original Jaws video game did.

2021 is 50 year anniversary of LZIV. Best rock album of all time. Gary please release LZ from captivity. Every time there is a new Stern release that is not a LZ pin, the words to dazed and confused run through my head.
“Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true. Wanted a woman, never bargained for you. Lots of people TALK and few of them know. Soul of a woman was created below, yeah”

The best rock band for a music pin still has not been made. Queen to me is my dream pin. Great high energy songs. Additionally their music is a great fit for a pin due to the imagery and themes their songs could bring to a pin. You can almost picture what a Queen pin could look like when listening to their music
Hammer to fall
Don’t stop me now
Tie your mother down
Fat bottom girls
Bicycle race
Radio ga ga
Etc
Problem is, there are so many songs that would work well with a pin, ultimately you will be disappointed because songs will be left out.
My second music theme pin is Beastie Boys. Another group whose songs could easily be converted into some great images and themes for a Pin. Just not sure what appeal the Beastie Boys would have to the pinball community.
Quoted from LOTR_breath:We don't see eye to eye on music, but your movie picks are spot on! The Fifth Element is a top 5 movie of all time for me.
Music pins for me would be:
Van Halen
Beastie Boys
Queen
Ozzy/Black Sabbath
Rush
How about that, another vote for the Beastie Boys. For get TMNT where you partner with another player. Lame. Give me a Beastie Boys pin with Sabotage feature where I take away a locked ball from my opponent!
Quoted from NC_Pin:Beastie Boys...
Yeeessss!!!!! Intergalactic rocking my BBLE pin!
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Beastie Boys would have to have:
No Sleep Till Brooklyn
Fight for Your Right
Sabotage
Intergalactic
High Plains Drifter
So Whatcha Want
Brass Monkey
Funky Boss
Sure Shot
Root Down
Three MC's and One DJ
It would be awesome to get Mix Master Mike to do some custom tracks for background music, but there's probably no way that's happening.
Over 20 million records. Seven platinum albums. Best selling rap group of all time. C'mon Stern, make it happen![quoted image]
Great list! I agree with them all. But missed one, well there a few that I would like to see on the list. But the big miss would be “pass the mic”. One of my favorites. Alternate targets to hit when the mic gets passed in the song. Also “Shake your Rump” is another song that I would want to see, and could be integrated with the shaker motor. Another song that’s not as popular but could integrate well in a Pin... Egg Man from on of my favorite Beastie’s album, Paul’s Boutique.
What about a spinning disc, designed like a vinyl record, placed in lower playfield that spins to the scratches of the songs.

Wow new record for me, I usually post after I see at least 10 posts

Quoted from beelzeboob:Again...I think the pinball companies know their demographic. What I see at shows is hard rock t-shirts for the most part. Not yacht rock, R&B, and not a whole lot of rap representation or enthusiasm from the majority of people I've seen. Would they be able to sell some people a rap game? Sure. Would they sell enough to justify making it? Probably not.
Give me Beastie Boys.
