Quoted from bigdaddy07:I was thinking STTNG, though it did eventually have movies, its best know for its series.
Great example of an awesome pin with a shitty theme....
Quoted from bigdaddy07:Well I totally and completely disagree with you there.
No problem, I'm more a SW guy!
Quoted from Gatecrasher:No way huh?
I think you need a reality check on the facts.
The Wizard of OZ is ranked higher than Star Wars in just about every source you'll be able to find.
You also have to remember that The Wizard of OZ is al most 50 years older yet it still has the staying power to consistently rank in the top ten of many polls and is always ranked higher than Star Wars.
The Wizard of OZ is ranked higher in:
IMDB
Rotten Tomatoes
AMC
TIME Magazine
Rolling Stone
BBC
Just about every poll you are going to find
In some polls Star Wars isn't even close. In others it is closer but WOZ is always ranked higher.
The Wizard of OZ might not have been an appealing theme for you but is one that resonates with a large majority of people worldwide. It's a fantastic film (universally-recognized as one of the best of all-time) and an excellent theme for a pinball machine. That's not to say Star Wars would be bad though. It would be a good theme too.
No theme is going to appeal to everyone though. I find it almost inconceivable that someone could prefer the band Iron Maiden to the Rolling Stones, but there are obviously some out there who do. There are also some who think Justin Bieber is better than the Beatles but that doesn't mean I have to subscribe to the BS.
lol
Woz > SW?
Rolling Stones > Iron Maiden????
OmG....
Please stop I need a beer after reading this....
Quoted from markmon:...disrupted a thread that had a whole 74 total posts in 3 years otherwise - lol.
Now you nailed it!
Up the Irons!
Quoted from Seatmandan:It's OBVIOUS you never saw even a single episode of the TV show, let alone the movies that were spun off from it.
Is it SO obviuos?
Quoted from loneacer:Man this thread makes me sad. WOF has been on my very short list of wants since it first came out. When a mint one in my area comes up for sale, it's mine. I grew up watching game shows back when they were on USA all day during the week, then when GSN first came along. WOF is nowhere near the top of my favorite game shows list though. They should have made a generic game show pin. Each mode could have been a classic game show (press your luck, wof, price is right, let's make a deal, etc).
There's a guy selling one here in Brazil (sao paulo).... its been announced for a couple of years already and he NEVER received any proposal.....
Quoted from Darth_Chris:Iron Maiden and Star Wars are my 2 dream themes
It's more than obvious that we are never going to agree on a lot of things lol
To each his own
My dream theme:
Quoted from Coolpinballdino:Domino's pizza, pabst blue ribbon, wwe
Agree, agree, agree.
Quoted from o-din:If I could rewrite the poll, we would sure have a lot more contenders now.
Bump!
Lemme say Congo... A fabulous PF layout to a shitty theme...
Quoted from o-din:Yeah, but that doesn't fall into the last ten years category.
Ah ok! I didn't bother reading the thread statements after that new bump.
