Quoted from Wakky:Star trek is one of Sterns best and Gary's favourite!
I almost bought a Star Trek until JP2 came out. Bought a JP2 premium and LOVE it. Obviously I feel JP2 is a better game. And yes, I’ve played both, and I do like Star Trek but JP2 is amazing.

Quoted from cantbfrank: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.
Stern gives exactly zero shits about the secondary market.

I don’t think a Converse pinball machine would sell very well 
Quoted from yancy:Zero chance Stern reveals another new cornerstone title "very soon." Hot Wheels or Heavy Metal is my bet.
Hot Wheels is being done by AP.
Quoted from yancy:Jack was teasing his next Dead Flip reveal, which could be anything.
Sure... but Stern isn’t doing Hot Wheels.
Quoted from PinMagnet:Lets be honest, Ghostbusters was the last great pin Stern did (AC/DC prior to that).
Quoted from yancy:Who said Stern is doing Hot Wheels? I said Stern isn't revealing a new cornerstone game anytime soon, so Jack's reveal will be Hot Wheels or Heavy Metal. I played Hot Wheels at the factory, pretty sure I know who's making it, numbnuts.
Well, that’s not how your post read, dickwad.

Quoted from John_I:Were that to happen the value of the original games will be crushed. The prices of an original LEs will go from $12K to $6K overnight.
Anyone buying pinball machines as investments needs to talk to a financial advisor. Sure it’s fun owning a machine that’s worth more than you paid for it, but anyone looking at it as anything more than a novelty is a fool.
If you are using pins as investments, the only way to do it is to buy LEs and leave them in the box for years or buy super rare machines and not play them. What’s the fun in that???
Quoted from Tranquilize:Heard various versions of this a million times on here. I'd argue anyone who doesn't consider resale value seriously, especially with a big collection, is the bigger fool.
I’m going to do it....
It’s like cars - there are some that will be more valuable than when you bought them but not many. Especially if you drive them like you should.
Quoted from BazilBLast:You're backing up my point .
I've never brought a meal at a restaurant and said " I've lost a money " , if I didn't like the meal I would say " I've wasted my money " .
I wouldn't say Vacations are a waste of money , get out see the world , experience new things and make new memories .
I enjoy going to the movies and I've never said I've lost money going to one .
Besides basic surviving , What's the point of money if it can't bring you some happiness .
I believe the point here is that none of these things - movies, dinner, vacations, or pinball should be considered investments. Just enjoy them.

Quoted from BallPin:You're right, I don't normally care, but it rubs me the wrong way that he tries to make money off his podcasts, and to takes my leads, not give me credit, but take peoples money for repeating someone else's information. At the same time he's building up his reputation on my information to become more credible and again market himself and make money. It's not personal, I don't know the guy, just heard about him today when everyone referred to me as him, so I had to find out what this guy is all about. Just going forward, I hope if he uses information he reads on pinside, that he credits the source. I hear other podcasts refer to him when talking about a news piece he started, so he gets credited on other podcasts, it's not a new concept. I welcome guys like him to talk about pinball and discuss topics he heard himself or through forums like this. Discussion is great. By the way, I won't be one of those guys, I'm keeping all future information to myself, not worth having other people benefit off it, and also the feedback I got from the rest of the community was pretty harsh.
Pretty easy solution..... don’t say anything.
Quoted from Pixel8Arcade:Yeah, 2 of the top grossing films of all time with a vast laundry list of huge Hollywood stars.....why would anyone want that put in a pinball machine? I’d rather have 16bit comic style graphics.
Sarcasm^^^^^^^^
Um..... they already did it once.
Quoted from Pixel8Arcade:Stern did a pinball specifically based on the films Infinity War and Endgame? Please tell me the name of that pinball machine...I’d like to play it.
Based on your logic, there should be 3 Iron Man pins, 3 Spider-Man pins, 3 Thor pins, 4 Capitan America pins, 2 Hulk pins....... you get my point.
Quoted from Pixel8Arcade:So you can’t point me to the Stern machines based specifically on Infinity War or Endgame? Thought so.
One Avengers pin is more than enough.
Quoted from TheShaft:Totally off topic, but is your pig avatar Lola from Avellanas? What I wouldn’t give to be having an Imperial sitting on the beach after a great surf session.

Quoted from jawjaw:I'm holding onto the idea that the old movies are awesome even though I have not watched them since I was a kid. Watching them again would probably ruin good childhood memories of watching monster movies after school. None of the newer movies look that great so never bothered to watch any. I still think Godzilla would make a great pin as long as it's not phoned in. If it turns into fan layout with Godzilla head that you shoot balls into mouth that would be a shame.
Do NOT watch Ultraman today.

Quoted from Lounge:I pray the next pin is BTTF .... so I don’t have to read another fucking post about the next Stern pin being BTTF.
Quoted from thekaiser82:Agree. If Stern pledged a certain amount from each game sold to his foundation and that number was sufficiently high I bet he would authorize the use.
Or….. make a different game and not give up any of their profits.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:So when will Stern announce the next title? Please be Godzilla, but I do want Mandalorian also. Hard not pulling the trigger on it. Not a huge fan of the show, but it’s Star Wars and an awesome game. Played the pro and loved it.
What concerns me about Spooky is there are no game play videos yet and it goes up for preorder on Wednesday.
I’m sure it won’t be difficult to a) get your deposit back from them or b) sell your spot in the event you have a change of heart. They’re good people.
Patiently waiting for Elwin Godzilla to be announced/revealed.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:I fully and completely agree with you. I am not a fan of superhero themes at all but Batman: The Animated Series transcends that for me. The 90’s nostalgia, the incredible music, the storylines, animation style. It’s just a perfect theme. I would torch every single superhero related pin just to have BMTAS (well...keep Deadpool actually haha)
Deadpool is like an anti-superhero - I give him a pass.
Quoted from crujones4life:You like BTTF? You like Elwin? If so...you are in luck!
You BTTF guys ….
Let me tell you why I don’t think BTTF will happen. And if by some miracle it does happen, you will probably be disappointed.
Let’s take Jurassic Park as an example. License for the title - check - not terribly difficult. Then they have to go to every actor to license their likeness. That includes ANY scene where the actor is visible or any soundbite from the actor. That’s why the only likeness in the playfield of JP is Nedry and there are ZERO movie clips and ZERO actor callouts in the pin. You don’t have to pay a TRex.
Name one actor that was a Ninja Turtle…. didn’t think so - nobody cares who played Donatello. Cheaper licensing.
This is why Stern loves the superhero pins - they’re easy. One stop license. Do you see Robert Downey Jr on AIQ as Iron Man with his helmet off … no. Do you hear his voice … no. You don’t even see Robert Downey Jr on Iron Man the pin?
Do you really want a BTTF without Michael J Fox or any of the other actors?? Neither does anyone else. That shit’s too expensive with all the assets. Just ask JJP (POTC) - they almost went under building that pin.
Bottom line is, Stern isn’t going to shell out that kind of coin for a license when they can make more on the gap with lesser licenses like Godzilla. No actors, no problems.
I could be wrong but look at the pattern folks.
Quoted from TheProgrammer:For me, a lot of my feelings about BTTF being in the works (I don’t think it’s next tho) stems from Dwight Sullivan teasing Hill Valley being an Easter egg in the map that scrolls on The Getaway: High Speed II and saying that it’s foreshadowing.
He talks about it at 29:50
Getaway 2 was made in 1992.
Quoted from Roostking:Why? They are killing it, business wise, they dont need to innovate.
Maybe not innovate but step up their game a bit, yes.
JJP has jam packed playfields. Spooky has funky niche themes with good (and getting better) execution and assets. CGC has the classics and great quality.
It’s almost like Stern is cranking out games too fast and maybe getting a little sloppy. I think that’s going to change soon though. They see what’s going on. I bet Elwin’s next game is a smash hit where they showcase how they’re going to elevate their builds.
I can’t wait to see it.
Quoted from skink91:It’s about time. Elwin’s games have been horrible so far! Just the worst!
They are great shooters. I own a JP and will never let it go. AIQ… eh, it’s alright.
But some of Sterns latest offerings are lacking. Do you think they did Led Zeppelin justice? It seems to me like they’re just trying to crank games out.
My point was - I think they’re going to change their model a bit for the better.
Quoted from beltking:Distributor got list from stern that they are freeing up production in September so could see release late august possibly.
I thought they had a batch of JPs to crank out?
I guess that could be post JP run.
Quoted from rai:Does anyone know of a dealer who has some of the next build available?
Did you try Marshall at Little Shop of Games?
Quoted from frankmac:Loki down the road ?
I hope not - that superhero genera is pretty worn out imo.
Quoted from LOTR_breath:I definitely think Beastie Boys should be Sterns first "non-rock" music themed pin. Still appeals to the older audience(I'm 56) but brings in some of the younger crowd as well. So many good songs. So many recognizable songs from all the radio airplay.
[quoted image]
I don’t do (or own) music pins because I just don’t want to hear 30 second clips of the same 10 songs over and over. But a Beastie Boys pin…. I’d have to have one.
Quoted from xyntec:Just visiting Venice and came across this, must be a sign

He’s turning himself into a chick by making a suit out of chicks. In the meantime, he dresses like a chick, dances around, and tucks his junk…. “Don’t you wanna’ fuck me…. I’d fuck me.”
Quoted from screaminr:I would love to see a Nobody pin
Mr Nobody needs to get his finger off the trigger.
Quoted from Our_Man_in_Oz:Mad Max is a brilliant Movie theme period.
The Rover - Mad Max 2.0 - a MUST watch…..
Quoted from screaminr:Just watched Zack snyder's Justice League , it was so much better than the original movie , it would be so great for a pin .
[quoted image]
Enough superhero pins!!
Make it stop.
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Didnt you just pounce on an Ultraman in the last 3 weeks? Superhero themes alone do not wreck a games. Give me Invincible!!
I get a bye on Ultraman - he is not a mainstream ‘superhero’ in the Stern sense. And there is the nostalgia effect with UM - my earliest television memories include UM.
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:But by this logic there are a plethora of superheroes to choose from still.
Invincible, The Boys, Kickass, Spawn....(not that i want all these)
I really just want Invincible, Batman or JLA tas and 90s cartoon Xmen.
I could see the new James Gunn Suicide Squad working quite well. Many characters, action, gore, humour. (With full assets...looking at you gotg)
That’s a fair point but a break from mainstream DC and Marvel would be welcome. And I have to add that the latest superhero pins do NOT include enough assets to make them interesting to me. UM with huge assets and a motivated manufacturer was a must have.
Now, Elwin Godzilla…. I’m just waiting for the official announcement 
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Gameplay first. Assets second.
I’m about 50/50 here. Of course the game has to play well. I don’t have enough space to be flippant with my pin choices. Assets done well put a game on the next level (R&M comes to mind).
JP is by far my favorite recent Stern and those stock assets are severely lacking. However, with Tim’s ‘updated’ code, JP is a 10 for me. Never leaving my collection.
I have not played Mando yet but the theme doesn’t really strike a chord with me.
Quoted from craif:I agree with you. Avengers and Maiden both have deep code and interesting shots, but the way they are presented to a player is way different.
My take on maiden is that any random player, whether total novice or an experienced pinballer, can have a lot of fun from the start without knowing any of the rules. The highlights and callouts are clear and the shots intuitive enough to get rolling and feel like they're making actual progress on the game after a few plays. Optimizations like how to stack different modes, time different collects and ride the multipliers to get crazy high scores and unlock wizard modes are everywhere, but if you focus on playing good pinball you'll learn them naturally over time by playing and have a good time doing it.
This is the essence of pinball.
Back in the day there was no internet with collaborative wikis to compile rules. You played good pinball, watched the lights, and from Gorgar and beyond, you listened to the callouts.
I think Elwin keeps a great balance between casual fun and complexity. Can’t wait for Godzilla.

Quoted from fooflighter:I'm here, I'm not sure what to think about a pin though... I know, crazy right!?! I'm surprised too of my feelings, but I always thought of my Foos as the post Nirvana alt rock band that put on great live shows but I preferred them in smaller doses where most people didn't know of them...Maybe I'm just getting crotchety having turned 49 recently.. I've seen them live over 20 times, back when they were playing 500 person clubs and even own Dave's ES335 Trini Lopez, but I think Dave has just been a little too fame aggressive and has become over exposed in too many medium as of late, which can be off putting for some. I know he likes mixing it up as an artist so that may well be the reason for this foray into pinball, and it's his right, but I'm just not sure...
Having said that though...
Here's my idea for a pin.. a comedy rock pin..., their videos from the beginning have always been funny,.. Learn to fly, break out, long road to ruin, low, the list goes on...I think the pin should have a comic twist and not take itself too seriously, maybe even have Tenacious D come out and battle evil Dave as the Devil...
Please God stay away from the last album and the Dee gee stuff though, they unfortunately went off the rails a bit on me both musically and creatively.
I'm a die hard fan from the beginning, but these last 2 years have been cringe...
The Ram commercials may have revoked Dave's punk card from Scream
But for my street cred...my FF Trini Lopez and my son jamming out on it

If you consider yourself “not a Rush fan” or not familiar with Rush, at least give that one a listen.
Quoted from Tranquilize:Most don't a agree, but I think Foo Fighters never would have made it anywhere without Nirvana.
Nobody knew who Dave Ghrol was when he was in Nirvana. I’ve always liked the Foo Fighters and no matter what your take on them is, Dave Ghrol is a very talented musician. I strongly believe he would be successful regardless of Nirvana. I was never a Nirvana fan (and I’m still not).
As for a Foo Fighters pin, I can’t really see it. All the band pins lately have been get the band together, go on tour - meh.
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Please.... Weird Al's Polka Party!
[quoted image]
Yep…. still not funny.
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Better off playing while.also listening to Kill Em All.
Cut my heavy metal teeth on this cassette in high school. Unbelievable sound for the time - still love it today.
I enjoy some Rush but I won’t be buying the pin unless the layout is bonkers.
Quoted from jawjaw:You think Stern would license all the bond actors? Sounds expensive. It would be cool to have great villains like jaws, bond girls, Aston Martin cars, music, etc but all that would need licenses which translates to $$$$.
I.E. Jurassic Park - one image of Nedry and a not so Jeep looking truck.
Not in the market for another music pin but you have to admit; the playfield looks WAY better than LZ.
Quoted from MRG:Welcome to 1990. Bally Radical has the same diverter mech.
Never said ‘innovative’
Quoted from cpr9999:Isn’t this layout almost identical to Spider-Man?
Only played Spider-Man a few times in my life. Not real familiar with it.
I’m just glad they put more effort into this than they did with LZ.
Quoted from JRBBRJ:Probably the only machine I would ever try to get an LE for.
Quoted from SimplePin:Me too! The list starts now.
You guys have been eating too many concert tickets
Quoted from SLAMT1LT:Bond would only be economically viable if it was released with an insane price tag. It's a licensing behemoth.
BTTF - same same
Quoted from beelzeboob:The ones that sell.
Unfortunately true.
As much as I like the obscure; the obscure is typically not ‘popular’ regardless of demographic. Black Label Society, The Hold Steady, Riot, Korn, Steel Panther, [fill in the blank], etc, etc,….
You don’t like Rush, Maiden, Zep, Aerosmith, AC/DC, etc., so what - I bet 5000 or 6000 people who can afford a $10K toy and also like pinball do.
From a business/economic standpoint, Stern makes music pins they can sell and that’s the point and if I were in the business that’s what I would do. Can’t knock them for that.
Quoted from screaminr:I certainly do .
Do people think the rumoured Venom pin will have movie assets or comic art .
[quoted image]
Pretty sure those are EEs.
Pokemon would sell.
Tonka trucks. American Pinball Hotweels - don’t own it, don’t like it - never say never but not something I would buy. There are plenty of successful machines with themes I wouldn’t buy.
The bottom line is; in the entire world of pinball and themes you only need about 6000 buyers to make it a successful title with regards to sales. That’s a pretty low bar imo.
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:If you're a video game company do you prefer your market playing your game and buying your DLC every week or month or do you prefer your market go to the arcade and spend those entertainment $$ playing the pinball machine that generates no additional revenue?
One is a revenue stream, the other is not.
I don’t think a pinball machine is going to keep a video gamer from playing video games.

BTTF sounds like an American Pinball title. Either way, byeeeeeeeee.
Quoted from Ballderdash:There are many carryovers from slots to pins. Immediately WOZ and Wonka come to mind. Ghostbusters as well. If the assets and video clips have already been negotiated for visual gameplay it wouldn’t be a stretch to re-market them for pinball consumption. Easy $.

Quoted from Prince66cali:Stop with the fake business modeling. Pinball machines, like ferraris, alfa romeos, and rolex watches are a "giffen" good. I understand that demand siders dont like that perspective but in the us we are always a supply side economy. If you dont like that move to the eu and pay 25% vat.
Fake business modeling???
The basis of the argument is that making 1 model is cheaper than making 3 different ones. And the statement Tyler_Durden is making is absolutely correct if all resources focus all efforts on one outcome. From a manufacturing standpoint, the resources for creating 1 SKU will always be cheaper than creating 3.
Quoted from Prince66cali:100% fake modeling. If pinball machines were fords who would want any of them. People buy them for exclusivity. If I could buy a pinball at walmart, I wouldnt collect.
Ask mpdpvdpin why he buys pins.

Quoted from screaminr:Would love to see a new Terminator game , in a modern pin .
Quoted from Pinball_Syd:T4S (Terminator 4 Salvation.. not to be confused with TS4… sorry couldn’t resist).
Can’t see why not? Raw Thrills released a big ass shooter arcade game in 2010, which admittedly during the film’s release. Can’t see why Stern or anyone else couldn’t secure this IP? As long as it had GnR “You Could Be Mine” for the ball intro, T classic theme score as static back ground and optional mirrored Backglass, as per the below.
Bring back team Richie for T4S, with a nod to T2 similar to BK nod towards BKSOR.
What’s with you Aussies today??
At least root for the home team…

A very legitimate concern. OG is the only Mad Max.
Quoted from PinMonk:The homebrew Fury Road is looking pretty sweet...

I’ve followed this build closely - looks awesome.
I think a Sausage Party pin could be pretty funny. At least I would imagine it would be funnier than Toy Story.
Quoted from Saltimbanco:Sorry, but dare I ask what would be wrong with doing a pinball with the barnstable twins?! Seems there's plenty for some great cabinet art.. just saying!

You left out the “MOTHER FUCKER” part.
Quoted from oneballjab:Wasn't sure if I would get a slap on the wrist for that. [quoted image]

Quoted from thekaiser82:George said the DeadFlip game is kind of a new direction for Stern.
Pokemon.
Quoted from Pinplayer1967:That’s not a new direction, it’s a desperate attempt to sell machines to a small minority.
It’s JDs dream theme - he’s said it multiple times - just connecting the dots.

Quoted from Roostking:I played TS4 for the first time the other day, what a cluster!
Couldn't agree more.
I do like the Foo Fighters though - hopefully Stern gets it right. I like Rush (the band) but was skeptical about the pin... boy was I surprised - I think it turned out great (except for the band member graphics).
Quoted from mzhulk:If stern announced a bttf pin that would pretty much wipe out are other pinball manufacturers new games excitement
yeah.... not really.
You bttf guys crack me up.
Quoted from BasementFacts:If JJP's bombshell Harry Potter tease is true….
“Bombshell Harry Potter” … like bombshell Toy Story, Willy Wonka, Wizard of Oz????
POTC (while not immediate) and Guns and Roses are JJP’s best efforts. If they release a Harry Potter, it’s the parents of millennials that will be buying them for their kids just like the movie tickets.
JJP needs to get off this kiddie theme stuff. They’re great at making games but their theme choices just baffle me.
Quoted from Thunderbird:It was confirmed a long time ago by IP titan Joe K. That if HP is going to be made, for which he controls the license for pinball, it will be done by Stern. Here is his TWIP statement on the matter. Even Pintastic is billing Godfather as JJP’s next release.
My point wasn't to debate which pin manufacturer is doing Harry Potter but drawing into question JJPs theme choices to potentially include HP. I think JJP's games are well executed in terms of theme integration and creativity but their choice of themes I find mostly unappealing save for the two I mentioned. Godfather could be interesting and on par thematically with GnR - a welcome departure from their strange attraction to kids movies.
Quoted from kool1:I'm the same age as Dave - it's 100% dad rock LOL
So what's on your "not dad rock" playlist that you would like to see a pin of?
