Don’t think Lasso is coming (soccer pin?) but Jason Sudekis is a huge pinhead. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s on Pinside, pretty sure some of the characters on here know (or have met) him.

Absolutely! Why limit yourself to just one evil villain and just one Bond Girl? I’d say don’t even worry about who’s playing Bond, because it’s you…

Drum solo mode where you could only use the right flipper. Classic.

I sure hope that if BTTF happens that they get Huey and the rest of the News to sign on as well. "Back in Time" playing in attract mode = freakin awesome.

Assume away but I’m willing to bet you’re 100% wrong on that. There’s a LOT of people in the target demographic that grew up with that movie. It’s iconic of the 1980s (like Jaws and the 1970s) and has so many instantly recognizable tag lines and “stuff” that even todays kids will know it from their nerdy Dads (guilty as charged) talking about DeLoreans and Mr. Fusion.

Also, I have no idea if it’s going to be made and it’s not an instant buy for me but I do think it would sell like crazy…unless it sucked from a design standpoint.

Hahaha! So what would be fun is a “theme park” non licensed theme that just ripped the absolute bejesus out of Disney, Universal and the other parks. Mock them at every turn with just enough ambiguity to keep the lawyers at bay.

I’m a sucker for a frog with a banjo. Put Elwin on it and take my money.

A Danzig pin?? Oh Mother

I understand it’s probably a licensing and IP thing - but TS4 is a shining example to me that in pinball it’s better to use an entire franchise if possible rather than one movie. Toy Story as a franchise is iconic - TS4 as a movie is definitely not.

Hopefully Stern doesn’t go down that road if they do Jaws, Bond or BTTF. Can you imagine if it’s BTTF or Jaws and they based it only on the last movie?

True Lies

Has this theory been floated? A combo of Elwin and Archer would be very hard for me to pass up. The show would fit VERY well into a pinball theme, and the voice actors include some of the best in the business. This or Bob’s Burgers and I’m out some cash I suspect…

I know Stern tend to be coy but the comments sure seem like a pin announcement is inbound.

100% - no need to commit to a single “Bond” because the player is the next 007. Still lots of ways they could incorporate callouts and clips from the films without locking into one movie or Bond.

I hope they don't F up the new Indiana Jones Movie. I'm still recovering from what they did to Indy last time (find the South Park episode if you need a reference). And yup, it would be very hard for me to pass up a new IJ pin especially if Elwin was on it.

Rainbow connection multiball.

Take my money! Instant buy if Elwin was on it.

Edit: the more I think about a Muppets pinball the more I can’t believe it hasn’t been done.

Has anyone ever made a pinball based off of a book (pre visual media)? Seems weird but hear me out…

No actors to pay
License likely cheap
Huge range of good/creative ideas out there
Still could have recognition with the right title, or who cares

All of the money saved could go into BOM. Few limits on creativity for the designer…

Just spitballin here but when I hear about a pin based on “Wednesday” or whatever I wonder if Stern just needs to have the cojones to go unlicensed or just entirely different.

No idea honestly. But I do think there’s a treasure trove of ideas for a pin out there. Hell half of the movie based pins were books before they were movies (I’m guessing). Beat the studios at their own game

Maybe unlicensed?

Great idea…as long as it’s more Skyrim and not Elden Ring…that m’fer would have the tightest shots on the planet and go stdm if you didn’t plunge juuust right.

South Park Coon and Friends would be so good.

So a “novel” theme starring the Foo Fighters featuring their music as a soundtrack?

Could be a winner.

Looks like a hell of a pin for your first cornerstone! Excited to flip one.

Can't say I'd be into a Pokemon pin, but you're right - it's basically the perfect game to leverage Insider Connected.
