Is there a pin with a monster truck theme yet?
If not I bet there will be
I searched IPDB for truck theme and it looks like there were some attempts in the past. Bally Night Rider had high numbers made in 1976  but I have never seen or heard about one until now. They must be scattered along Rout 66.
The other interesting one was the home pinball sold by Penny stores in 1980 for $499, wonder if any of those are still around? Here is my search link.

I had an EM Nightrider once. It was missing the backglass and advertised for a scan or pic of one... that's how I met Nino

What about a Wolf Creek machine?

I agree.  If they made a Monster truck (jam)  themed machine, it would be pretty popular. With so many trucks racing these days, there  would be so many different machines being able to be made with the same theme. Gravedigger, Max d, El Toro Loco etc.
I'm not cranky, I just want MORE pins!

There are a few Night Rider games out there, albeit in poor shape, but the artwork is really good on this title. The other game is "Truck Stop" which is a super rare title.

What about a Beatles pin?
Quite a library of songs to choose from. I guess the expensive copyrights sent that idea downhill.

No, but Funhouse has one on the left (and right).
“If you wanna escape, go up to a pinball machine. There’s a magic button on the front that takes you to a world under the glass and makes the the rest of the universe disappear.”
