Nothing concrete as yet for the next release after Avengers. I read Pinside on a daily basis and at the moment, Metallica is being thrown around as the next release, then Star Trek....then somebody will come out of the blue and dispute Metallica as a pinball release. Like the Avengers rumour, Star Trek is the only real certainty at the moment.

Toy Story is another title that has been suggested in the past few days.

Cheers!
Adam.

Wotto recently mentioned he might be in the NIB market shortly. This would be THE perfect pin for him  #@#

To be honest, I'd be VERY interested as well. Insert coin, and then the Vincent Price intro to "Number of the Beast"..  @@^

At the three minute mark, what is one of the pinball machines that James Hetfield owns? Tron LE


James even had a custom pin made for himself

Interesting, as Metallica were all huge KISS fans before they formed. Borg is an idiot then  ^^^

I HOPE Stern overlook the KISS idea. I'd prefer JJP working on music theme - and if it were KISS / Metallica / Led Zeppelin - I'd be more than keen.

I dont believe John Borg will be doing a music pin for his next title, but a action pinball theme.
If anyone is doing a music pin, i reckon it will be Steve Ritchie.

Star Trek is next, apparently, but its up for grabs about the so called Metallica pin. I have seen nothing from Stern to indicate any such music pinny will be done, except maybe alot of people just guessing n hoping for one.
Also, Stern are still selling AC/DC titles strongly, so i cant see them interrupting that sales flow by introducing another music pinny so quickly >?

If a music pinny is done, what i am wondering, is how many AC/DC owners, as a percentage, will jump on the purchasing wagon and buy one ?  !@#
Is it too much to have a AC/DC next to another music pinny, is it music pinball overkill ? or would it be OK ?

Personally, it would be music pinny overkill for me, but if a KISS pinball was done, if it was GOOD, then i would buy one for sure, espescially if the artwork was of the gang in full makeup, like some of the album covers from the early days etc. Detroit Rock City Multi-ball etc. I''m a buyer !

Who would buy a Metallica Pinball to put next to a AC/DC, and if not,would it have to be a KISS pin to make it into the house to sit with Angus ?? !@#

I would put a Metallica pin next to my AC/DC no problem. I love music themes, except for KISS.

As I've mentioned before, A horror theme would sit well with me. This theme would be very successful - Zombie movies are all the rage right now. I'm not a massive fan of the genre (Zombie Holocaust), but this series is very popular. This series and Spartacus are well worth watching. Game of Thrones is also popular.

Metallica would go great next to both AC/DC and Guns n Roses in my collection.....but, too soon for another music pinball machine I reckon. I just finished playing a great game of AC/DC and thought how great KISS or Metallica would be as a pinball machine, but my bank account is saying no right now. I think Stern are onto a winner, so they'll keep milking their cash cow with full song tracks.
