I think it'll be Avatar as they were already working on it before with Steve, and the movie was a smash hit...
Or possibly the same layout with a different theme? Steve Ritchie seemed to have the best track record of the Stern designers with Spiderman, 24 and Elvis (and WPT and T3).
Is it an atom? No, it's multiball! Complete MAACA-Wacko!

I was hoping for a cheeses of the world pin!
I will take one aged 2 years in box. In fact, the cheese tray we servrd last time I hosted TOPL was a sampling of the new Stern model.
Seriously, my bet is on either a very popular TV show (not sure what) or a movie with at least on sequel released or in production. So, Avatar looks pretty strong to me. Tron is a bigger gamble IMHO. The licenbse might cost less but the move could easily turn out to be a royal flop. And a remake 20 years later isnt really a sequel due to popular demand.

After WOF, 24 and CSI being produced in so-so numbers, I doubt they will go that route again.
Stern is having fun keeping things hush-hush, even on their own site. RGP's info is sketchy as well. We all saw Steve Ritchie'S Avatar plans, but no one has ever seen any hardware yet. Same for Gomez's Tron pin. The only info out there is a cryptic and vague quote from Gomez, and a few fuzzy pics of drawings.
My question is this... is there truly another pin coming?

Of course there is. They're even hiring! (Not necessarily for the new pin, but dead companies usually don't hire people)
Have
Want
-The Getaway: High Speed II!! -Spider-Man -F-14 Tomcat -Guns N' Roses -Lord of the Rings -Twilight Zone
-Medieval Madness! -Indiana Jones (Williams) -Star Trek: The Next Generation -Champion Pub -Terminator 3 -Congo -Johnny Mnemonic -Tales of the Arabian Nights
I know, since times are tough and everyone's tightening their belts, Stern will realease a combo themed Pin based on the Smurfs with large blue Avatar characters with wearing smurf hats, casting spells, fighting demons, all while driving lightbikes at rediculous speeds going in straight lines turning at 90 degree angles with Frank Oz and Jim Henson muppet voice samples. There you have it.
