Boring
Kiss has been done, great art, crap game

Wish somebody would pick a theme that did not exist 10 years ago

X-men, old  (((
AC/DC, old (((
Woz, old (((
Tron, old (((
Rolling Stones, old (((
Star Trek, old (((
Batman, old (((
Spiderman, old (((
THe Hobit, old (((



Could not agree more. The only problem is - kids don't play pinball. The theme needs to be a part of our generation. I can't see a Pokemon Pinball, Ben 10 pinball or a One Direction pinball. Kids have their heads stuck on facebook or their mobile phones. Music pinballs USUALLY do very well. The only exception is both Rolling Stones games - they are both failures. KISS, Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd. Maybe Aerosmith, Bon Jovi or Metallica. Take your pick.

The demand for the 1978 KISS pinball has not changed for 10 years. I still get asked at least once a week - heck, even the postman saw one in my garage and asked me a price. Makes no difference that it is a lame player, it's the theme, it is the band. KISS fans are the most loyal fanbase on the planet. Even the current lineup with only two original members is still selling out arenas. You just need to understand the fanbase.

Stern know this. KISS knocked back the project 4 years ago, because they wanted a better royalty deal (from a KISS source, not a Pinball source).

I'd buy this title "sight unseen", and I'd buy at least two more and leave them in boxes as my retirement fund.

but a good marketing team could change that, it doesnt have to be that way any more, shit when i was a kid if you rode around on your older brothers 1980's skate board you were a povo and uncool because you couldnt afford a skateboard with two kicks on it. lol now kids are paying hundreds of dollars for these old retro crap boards now. retro is in, why Stern arent capitalizing on this i dont know. with out good marketing I-phones wouldnt sell. its purely down to sterns marketing imo, and they continually market to those who are already in the hobby, not getting new people in.

Never never never have i had a rep to my shop asking if id place a pinball, yet i have had every single other type of machine offered. who the hell sells these things seriously?? thats the question i get asked daily by having a sited pinball. no one knows about who sells pinball machines outside of the hobby

Its not hard for them to make pinball cool again, shit pay that bitch with the fat ass Kadashian to play with a pinball on her stupid show one time, and bingo every kid will want one, thats how every one else does it
