Woz, old
Tron, old
Rolling Stones, old
Star Trek, 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.
