Quoted from Extraballz:

I don’t care what Stern does as long as they can at least get back to the quality and features they had in LOTR............which they won’t.

The time has come for a LOTR vault. The price of used machines has reached parity with new ones and the Market has been dry!

No one knows. I'd love a vaulted LOTR with improved artwork -- either better resolution or even a new art package (like Alan Lee or something). Price of used machines is hitting $7K+.

The Odyssesy is a well known Greek tale with plenty of story/subject for modes.

I'm looking forward to LOTR Enhanced, with a new art package, Viggo call outs and clips from all three movies. Hey, a guy can dream right?

Quoted from greenstreet:

Hearing Elwin lobbying for his next rock pin to be from his era. He's 49y old... RHCP?
[quoted image]

I'm 51 how about Judas Priest

#13442 3 years ago

I know there was a tepid effort at a Cthulthu mythos pin (http://prometheangamesinc.com/wrath-of-cthulhu) maybe something is still happening there....

I'd like to see something along these lines. Could be a board game tie-in with Arkham Horror. Not sure if it is up Stern's alley though.

#13553 3 years ago

If it’s LOTR vault there goes my tax refund.

#13563 3 years ago

For you Black Sabbath boosters, do you have a game concept in mind?

Can we mix Ozzy & Dio?

#13571 3 years ago
Quoted from Da-Shaker:

BLACK SABBATH concepts:
Anything that will compete with IMDN

https://www.nme.com/news/music/bruce-dickinson-dismisses-infamous-ozzy-osbourne-feud-storm-teacup-2152552

I'd be down for some kind of narrative stitched together with War Pigs, The Wizard, Iron Man, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, etc.

Doubt Fairies Wear Boots or Snowblind will make it in.

#14134 3 years ago

Judas Priest has lots of bosses to battle...Grinder, Painkiller, Electric Eye, Metal Gods, Night Crawler, Sinner, Exciter, ...

Even though I'm an Iron Maiden fan, I like the fact that the machine has a narrative that is not structured around the band. Lots of potential with Priest for something like that too.

I was born in 1969 and JAWS is too old for me. Never seen it.

I like Rush, I like to play their songs on my guitar. But as a so-called "Thinking Man's Band" I'm not sure how well it will translate to pinball?

The Trees multi-ball, where as a Randian oak you have to avoid getting chopped down to plebeian maple size?
Limelight, where you have to hide your ball from the flashers because you're not into fame?
Hemispheres, where your ball splits into two balls and you need to re-unite them in some Heideggerian synthesis?

I dunno man... give me an "R" "O" "C" "K" ....

#18506 3 years ago

Do you folks think that the frequency of Stern releases is just right? Too many? Not enough? What would your ideal be?

Seems that they don't even need to be producing any new machines right now with the demand for the current catalog.

#18553 3 years ago

Judas Priest would translate really well to pinball!

Earth is dying....beset by a myriad of monsters, beasts and nightmares from hell, who will be its saviour?
It’s time to call for the priest..

There are a ton of great enemies to battle: painkiller, the sentinel, night crawler, the ripper, electric eye, sinner, metal gods, ...

#18653 2 years ago
Quoted from iloveplywood:

Okay, there are very few dream themes left for me as a lot of my favorite things would make horrible pinball machine (and maybe this idea would too), but there is one thing that would be an almost auto-buy for me, but will never happen for various reasons. A Star Trek pin based on the original show with lyman theme integration and Shatner doing the call outs. Now, I realize there's been too many Star Trek games already -- and the time for an original series game is probably past (even in the pinball world), but I think they could probably procure a lot of assets and nail theme integration.
Elwin Godzilla could be cool too, though!

Shatner at 90 looks & sounds fantastic!

#18753 2 years ago
Quoted from rai:

I asked at a distributer he said he already has too many people on the list for the next LE.
Basically imo unless you have a good connection it’ll be super hard to get an LE at list price unless Stern does something different which I don’t see happening. Oh well it’s probably premium for me from here on.

There were a few sold direct by Stern, is that for Stern club members? I guess first clicked, first served?

#19486 2 years ago

Here are some numbers I grabbed from the "Owners" page for recent Stern games.

Since LE quantities are known, you can extrapolate to get an idea of the true total.

[Removed]

But back to pinball....

Do you think Stern could slow down the release of new games, given the massive backlog they're still trying to work through? Wonder if some designs will just be put on the shelf.

And with Amazon coming out with their new Middle Earth series in September 2022, that would be a great time to vault LOTR.

Think I'd better recommit myself to 'The Creed of the Low End Pin Man'.

How many LEs through the Stern store this time? Tasty margin for them.

1 week later
#21263 2 years ago

Big monster smashing buildings -- what's not to like? Even if you don't care at all about Toho Godzilla (I don't) it's a good pinball theme.

It'll all be about the world under glass, gameplay and mechs for me.

#21353 2 years ago

Anyone know when LEs are available through the Stern store? How many Mando LEs were offered this way?

#21466 2 years ago

LE for sale on the Stern store.
One in my cart but won't ship to Canada

...

SOLD OUT

Waiting for LOTR 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition!

#22108 2 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Pretty sure the massive backlog of pin orders Stern's facing has killed vaults or the like for the foreseeable future.

It's okay, they've got until 2023! Come on George!

I like Rush but not really interested in a “band” pin. If it is themed as a future 2112 sci-if dystopia that might be interesting.

#22480 2 years ago

The new Amazon Middle-Earth series.....new pin or retheme of LOTR?

1 week later
#22758 2 years ago

Since it seems an open secret that Rush is next, what are you looking for?

Me -- no sign of Geddy, Alex or Neil on the playfield. Not a "band" pin.

Looking for a sci-fi / fantasy narrative seeped in 2112.

#22761 2 years ago
Quoted from DrDQ:

Heavy use of all to the great concert assets, including the humor and self depreciation. If possible cameos from Jerry Stiller, South Park, I Love You Man.
Hue Syme art on playfield and cabinet, BackGlass.
Blah Blah Blah Switch Mode.
Lots of shots and great code.
Many songs…and not just the popular songs.
Probably too much to ask for

Hopefully Geddy is personally involved as he goes all in with things he is passionate about!

#23501 2 years ago

Is Foo Fighters supposed to be a cornerstone? Or another Primus?

1 week later
#23705 2 years ago

Let's hope this is a passion project by Geddy/Alex and not just a mail-it-in band pin. Although I'm an Iron Maiden fan, I'm so glad it doesn't have the band plastered all over the playfield (sorry Nicko).

“The Rings of Power” teaser is out —

Will we see another LOTR universe pin?

And it’s cool that the trailer is not CGI! Neat ‘Making of’ video for it.

I had a Godzilla LE in my cart from Stern -- but no shipping option to Canada! So I assume it's for US only. It is possible to snag one, just be ready.

Remember when this price seemed wild?

#33533 1 year ago
Quoted from John_I:

Based on a mixture of people with inside information (and not just blurting out dream themes), a Ouija Board and rolling chicken bones; my best guess for the next three from Stern will be Venom, Jaws and a music pin. After that? LCD versions of LOTR, GB or even TRON are possible during or after that mix.
I'd be passing on Venom and maybe buying Jaws - especially if its Elwin. Music pin depends on the band. Ozzie would be interesting...

pasted_image (resized).pngpasted_image (resized).png

Sabbath would be nice, Judas Priest as well

#36889 1 year ago
Quoted from John_I:

Looks pretty sure that Venom is finally up next. All signs point to this as the game that got skipped during the Covid slowdown, so it should be pretty far along as far as tweaking mechs, ball traps and software updates! The other rumor that I doubt is true, was the music will now be supplied by Ozzie?
This is a hard pass for me as is basically any Marvel beside Deadpool. If the game has Ozzie music from the Randy Rhoads era I might reconsider!

Gather items, gain feats, level up -- D&D with IC has a lot of possibilities.

I've got the 1987 Dungeons & Dragons, its link to the game is tenuous at best!
