This. Pinball is lacking in new original themes. There are plenty of creative people in this world. I think these companies are just scared to try something new?

About JP. Not excited for the theme. But excited for this game based on the fact that it is Keith Elwins second pin. I'm not a fan of Iron Maiden the band, well maybe I'm becoming one after playing so much pinball on this awesome machine. I'm a fan of orbit shots, so disappointed that Keith doesn't have them, but I like that his designs are new and original. I do love loop shots though, so it's a fair trade on IMDN for me. His deeeeep ruleset is the biggest draw for me. I still have not defeated the beast. And to know there is a super wizard mode if you can get 10 tomb treasures, is an awesome goal to try and attain someday. I hope his JP ruleset is just as deep.

I was really looking forward to Elvira 3. Scared Stiff is one of my favorite pins. It's just fun. Basic rules, yet really fun. And the callouts/double innuendos are funny. It makes me sad to hear Elvira 3 will not be a major release. I guess only time will tell.

As for upcoming Stern pins, did anyone else notice Zach Sharpe was wearing what looked to me like a cheshire cat tee shirt on deadflips JP stream? Maybe it was a subtle easter egg? He was only on screen in the shirt very briefly. Alice in Wonderland as everyone knows is ripe for a pin.
