Someone over at BYOAC is claiming the next Stern pin is TRON and it will have an LCD display... anyone hear anything else?
 
This has been discussed many many many times on RGP. Stern and Disney have bad blood between them. Never say never but the odds sure don't look good.
 
Rumors for next pin (after Avatar) need to find out the date of their next release) are: Rocky Horror picture show, Tron, Muppets.

Of those three, Muppets i would preorder in a heartbeat. Who knows the next one - fat chance.
 
I heard they're finally getting the God license and the next pin will be called "Heaven And Hell" featuring 2 Rudy heads which will be God and Satan. It's going to have 2 full playfields. You'll start in hell and when you finish all of the hell modes the playfield flips over and you try to get to heaven on a totally different playfield. Both playfields will have 2 Rudy heads. There's also a separate mini-playfield like Family guy that flips over independent of the main playfield. The backbox is going to be an HDTV and the NIB price is $3K.


Should be sweet. I'm on pre-order.
 
I've mentioned it to the Stern guys the last few times I've talked to them in the hopes it might stick in their brain.

Couldn't they technically pattern it after the video game instead of the movie? Then wouldn't the licensing be with Midway or Bally instead of Disney?

I do believe the #1 selling Stern game is Pirates of the Caribbean. At least it was when John Borg was interviewed on TOPcast about a year or two ago. So, I don't think that's entirely possible.

stern is always stirring up stuff on facebook. Often putting something up and removing it shortly after. I wouldn't bet on anything they post there as reliable as far as next title.
LTG :)
