We should be close to a Steve Richie again right? Do you think he'd get put on a Marvel?

Won't be the next to be released, but my money is on Stern continuing their relationship with Netflix on a Cobra Kai machine. Mix of new and nostalgia...has there been a Karate Kid pin? Seems like right up Stern's alley
The only smart move is to release Pirates of the Caribbean vault edition and capitalize on the demand vacuum left by JJP.
Comic style Spiderman Vault would be fantastic. Isn't there an obligation to Disney for an annual Marvel pin?
I got a tip this morning that we're looking at a mid-May announcement of the next game: Lassie.
I'm hearing about an amazing mech that will make you feel just like being Timmy in the well.
The LE lollipop rails will have ACTUAL reproduction Collie fur so you can pet her and call her a good girl.
Don't even get me started on the topper. BUY BUY BUY!

So Stern: self proclaimed "Lifestyle brand"
According to wikipedia: A lifestyle brand is a brand that attempts to embody the values, aspirations, interests, attitudes, or opinions of a group or a culture for marketing purposes.[1] Lifestyle brands seek to inspire, guide, and motivate people, with the goal of their products contributing to the definition of the consumer's way of life. As such, they are closely associated with the advertising and other promotions used to gain mind share in their target market.[2] They often operate from an ideology, hoping to attract a relatively high number of people and ultimately become a recognised social phenomenon.
When has stern given the pinsiders what they have asked for lately? Did we ask for LZ? Hell no. Did we ask for Turtles, no but it is still pretty cool. Did we ask for Star wars to be better?... Have we been asking for Godzilla? No. James Bond? No. This thread represents years of requests from the fans that have been denied. So if you are going to "embody the values, aspirations, interests, attitudes, or opinions of a group or a culture" start giving us what we want, not what you or your designers want. This is your target market here not Netflix or Disney. Start caring more about your true fans, pinball people. We keep your doors open Stern.
****PLEASE SHARE WITH STERN EXECUTIVES*****
I think what you're saying is that you want a High Speed 3, but BKSoR got kind of a lukewarm response AND Ritchie just finished LZ. So I don't think that he'll be doing the next one.
Quoted from John0560:Well their customer base in on Pinside.
This is, in my opinion, where you've got it wrong.
The majority of the contributors to this site are the (loud) minority of people actually buying NIB pinball machines.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
