    Quoted from cmndr-brain:

    Nothing. Nothing at all. It's just my opinion and I just don't have faith in stern to make an Iron Maiden pinball that is worthy of the license. I certainly hope they prove me wrong. Iron Maiden is well known for their artwork and the originality of it for every different aspect of the band. But, I believe they will probably just either cut and paste pictures of the band or just copy album artwork, whether a single album or a collage.

    In one sentence, you state Maiden is well known for their artwork, yet seemingly want them to do something different with the artwork on Maiden pin? You seem confused and are in a very small minority, as most people do NOT want some interpretation of Scott Riggs work. Cut and paste iconic Iron Maiden art, in this case, would be the best case scenario.

    Quoted from Wakky:

    Sorry to dissapoint you but i already asked and they said in quote ' not a chance ' much like any remake of Back to the future they said 'been there done that '

    So are you some big wig that they will tell their future plans too? If so, please lay out the next 3 years worth of games please! If not, you are know speculating just as we are, with possibly being lied too as well.

    Let me ask you this. What games did they confirm when you asked?

    Quoted from cmndr-brain:

    I believe the sentence your commenting on was, "Iron Maiden is well known for their artwork and the originality of it for every different aspect of the band." You've missed the point and took a few words out of context. Pick any Iron Maiden song and google the image for that song. A large portion of all the Iron Maiden songs have their own individual, original art as well as each large city tour. Look up "phantom of the opera", "flight of icarus", "virus", "bring your daughter to the slaughter" and the list goes on. The post before this one shows the "purgatory" original art. So what I said was not untrue, they are well known for their artwork and the originality of it... They are not just a band of a couple album covers and it's my opinion that an Iron Maiden machine should reflect the true identity of Iron Maiden.

    Ok that makes more sense, but this thread is about the back-glass art and we both sorta deviated from that intent. What most people want is original Riggs art, whether that's on the backglass or the playfield, cab etc. We do not want some other artists interpretation of Riggs art or custom art package.

    Quoted from rotordave:

    Gary personally told me over a Vodka in 2015 that they had the Iron Maiden licence.
    It would have been out already if there hadn’t been “Trudeau trouble”
    As far as artwork ... zero chance of Killers, as cool as it is. No way any Dianno album gets any recognition at all.
    My guess would be a “best of the beast” type package for the Pro, with a Number of the Beast or maybe Powerslave package for the LE.

    In your opinion, how will the "Trudeau Trouble" affect the announcement of IM in the near, and distant future?

    Quoted from thedarkknight77:

    Yeti is doing the art so deal with it people!! I personally am excited as I think Yeti kicks a$$ and he is a fan as we are so he won’t let us down!

    Bummer.
