Just curious to see what others are looking to get. You can vote for more than one.
Some of these are just rumors at this point and we don't know anything about them...but what are you leaning towards?

Since all machines vary in quality and factory defects, I would look to see and play any machine I would consider buying and let somebody else open the mystery box.

What if they remake Fireball and have 2 Odin locks in it?
Quoted from o-din:Since it looks like pinball is remaining stuck in the past, I may go after the one from the most recent past.
Sure would like to hear a comment from Steve's brother on this one.
PF here
My choice -- Alien; a Full Throttle kit available soon makes this a no-brainer (or some-brainer).
Dialed-In -- maybe list.
Stern -- we'll see. SMVE is holding up great. Maybe GB Pro (thinking about becoming an OP).
Spooky -- Ben Heck is the man; maybe a new Spooky.
I'm interested in a lot of them...just don't know if I want to be in early on them.
Alien - looks great so far and love the theme, this has my most immediate attention
DI - will wait to see where the code takes it
AERO - Looks great...I want to wait to see where the code goes
TBL - I have a deposit down that I can get back anytime. I'm going to ride it out a little longer and see what happens
AFMr - curious as to what features they may add like the Bill Ung mod or lit Martian eyes and what they do with the LED look. I'm probably more interested in picking up a original AFM
Elvira 3 - could be really cool. I love the team that's rumored to be working on that
Quoted from cosmokramer:...I have to say the only game I may be interested in the near future as far as NIB goes would be Aliens.
Agreed, for NIB.
That Indy looks Niiiiiiccccccceeeeeee! Always wanted one.
I really enjoyed my time on the GOT at Modern Pinball last Monday. I wonder if the depth of the rules ultimately overcomes a fairly mundane fan layout? I was pretty entertained.
I also really like Kiss, and the latest rule set is more advanced than when I first played it. But is the code acceptable at this point? I'm in the "don't trust Lonnie" camp.
I think I'd enjoy Aerosmith as well, but buying NIB Stern with the latest QC issues gives me pause.
Plus, is Pulp Fiction really coming? I'd buy that over Star Wars in a New York minute!
AFMr I have wanted another one since I sold my routed beater years ago, I didnt know how much I would miss it.
But had to choose between buying a home to live in vs pinball....
Quoted from Rarehero:Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
That will be a whole bunch cheaper that any NIB.

Sounds like you need to get your priorities straight
Quoted from TheLaw:Star Wars
I thought about putting that in the poll. If it's the original trilogy then I'm all over it.
Quoted from o-din:Since it looks like pinball is remaining stuck in the past, I may go after the one from the most recent past.
New in box purchase....Star Wars or Pulp Fiction. Whatever appears first?
I'm out. No more NIB. My last one (GOT) showed me it isn't worth it anymore. Prices too high, and quality too low. It took 6 months to get a new playfield for it, and I was one of the lucky ones.
HUO, players games, classics. That is where my pinball money is headed. There are upcoming themes I want, but I won't be the guy that goes first. I'll let someone else risk it.
More than that not on the poll.
Could be the poll is limited to 8, but leaving off available pins as well as including preorder pins and even speculated pins is pretty limiting; OP may be looking from the view of what interests him the most.
Quoted from cosmokramer:We had been saving for a GB Premeuim and a KISS pro...just couldnt pull the trigger because of the QC issues...bought these instead...
I'm in the same boat QC issues, piss poor code, expensive prices have driven me from nib. Not sure if its me most newer sterns seem to me like there's a whole lot of empty space. My money will instead be going to Indy 93 and Roadshow
I would buy Alien if I had room, but don't like the theme enough to make room for it. (I would buy it because of the modularity and because game play looks awesome).
The only NIB game I would consider making room for is Elvira 3 but (a) only if Greg and Dennis hit it out of the park (b) there is sufficient evidence to show Stern has fixed the QC issues with playfields and (c) the code is complete or close. I have no interest in buying another game where I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that the PF won't be ruined in a year or so or if the code will be completed.
I used to want an AFMr, CCr or BBBr. But if I ever get an AFM now it will be an original and I'll probably be too old to care by the time either of the other two are ever done.
Buying any game, NIB or not, is now a very difficult decision for me because I have no free space so a new game means I must move an old favorite.
Alien LE or Dialed In are the only two NIB games I've seriously considered purchasing this year. I've decided to go with Alien LE as I prefer the theme more over Dialed In and think that Heighway is offering a lot of "value" (still expensive like all NIB games) at both the SE and especially at the LE level.
Quoted from PinSinner:rockytop you should add Thunderbirds Are Go and The Jetsons to the poll, both of which will be released in 2017.
Polls are limited to 9 spots. I can't add or edit it.
Tron Tron Tron I just can't stop thinking about Tron. Meanwhile I'll go buy the damn blue ray and try to be happy.
Quoted from cosmokramer:We had been saving for a GB Premeuim and a KISS pro...just couldnt pull the trigger because of the QC issues...bought these instead...
You chose--wisely!
Quoted from Rockytop:Polls are limited to 9 spots. I can't add or edit it.
Bummer. A limitation to be sure. I guess we should be fortunate there is not enough space on the poll. That means there are plenty of pins coming down the pipeline.
Someone mentioned in the Big Lebowski thread that Dutch has the Back to the Future license. Sigh.....
Quoted from pinballrockstar:Dialed in,we should totally support JJP.
Look at WOZ And TH...the man ran hard for us.
Now he even got Pat Lawlor for us.
This is the factory that should receive our hard earned $$
I love Lawlor, but they're not entitled to $9k for Momjeans McCellphone.
NIB is over!!! OVER!!! (Said like the Portlandia guy)
Quoted from Otaku:Some EM that's been in the box for 40 something years
It would probably have less issues than a Stern, JJP, or Heighway game...
That said, Dialed In is still my next NIB game. I won't buy any more Stern NIB games, though I'd still pick up used Sterns. I'm giving JJP a chance. Here's hoping I have a better experience.
