Is there a LOTR VE about to be announced? Good chance to grab one if that is what you like. If there is a LOTRVE coming it will cost about $12K or more, maybe pushing the price of the originals up. We love our original, good game. The new stuff (late model Stern or JJP) is better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinball god Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I just can't see a lotrve unless they have a bucket load of old whitestar pcbs and parts left over. I always viewed ve releases as stern moving a lot of their surplus spares on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right, so I dunno if that'd mean re coding for say a spike 2 which would then include video or do Sam system but still maybe need to re code. Sure they'll retail at $12k but then stern could do twd or gb and no extra work for $12k. But who knows what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radirgyman Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 A simpsons VE would be great too. Especially with an LCD screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game Over Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Sales for TRON VE would far eclipse any other VE title and they could do something alternate artwork with the animated TRON Disney series, similar to the SW comic version ( not that this would be any more appealing to me). But I've been told that Disney licencing can be painful to work with, or that's what Stern have implied in the past. I mean, it's been how long since SW was released, almost two years and they still can't release the R2D2 factory topper. So TRON VE might stay locked inside the Disney vault for a very long time to come but I hope I'm proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Getting sick of all these cartoon and heavy metal band themed machines Re do Elvis as a VE and I might actually contemplate buying another new Stern Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Totally agree....Not sure on Elvis but....Such a long time ago, 1970 something 7ish from memory. Also a bit over the big movie action titles.....I know it's been asked before but what else tickles people's Fancy....Red Bull does a heap of stuff but is that No Fear all over again.... We could do a Telecom, Telstra pinball but that would always be ****ed and the complaints over it would be the biggest in the history of pinball. We could tell everyone via the NBN (Non Broadcast Network) Maybe there is a prominent name in history. How about Ned Kelly (Too Aussie) John Wayne (Still deciding on being John or Wayne) Adolf Hitler (Would be a killer of a game) Albert Einstein (No-one smart enough to design it) Charlie Chaplin (No sound seems to work)..... I still reckon the designers need some mind altering drugs to help invigorate the mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudly Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Well Elvis did love Led Zeppelin ... and if he'd put the pharmaceuticals down and eaten the occasional vegetable and some salad ... he'd have been able to hang around a bit longer ... and he would have loved Slayer.

Tony doesn't get requests for The Addams Family as much as he has sold everyone 2 already....

fridgejam Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 A while back Gary Stern said that they had considered vaulting LOTR, but it was complicated dealing with the Warner Brothers licensing department, so he didn't think it would be happening any time soon. That was a few years ago, so they may have worked things out by now. As long as they redo the artwork and sound and maybe add a color display I think a vault LOTR would be a huge hit!
