Id take a Tron wayyyyyy before an Avatar pin.

Man! I just saw Avatar for the first time last night....I figured out exactly what was going to happen within the first 10min of the movie. What a waste if 164min of my life. I got so bored I started making up stupid songs
(la la la....I'm a big blue guy, flyin' on my dragon...I fly so high, everything is so colorful....la la la)

HP would a a good theme for the wife

The movie was worth seeing in Imax 3D. I will agree it was as predictable as hell, but it was a feast for the eyes. The imagination that went into creating the alien world was incredible.

Seeing it in 3D even here in Barrhaven was quite the experience. It was a really long amusement ride, it was fun.

I like that description! Fits it perfectly.

Personally....

I think it is too late for an Avatar pin.  If it was here already, then that would be cool. but a fall release has too long a lead.

Harry Potter would (for me) be a bit of a crap shoot.  But considering th amount of material in the series, there is a lot of potential.  I would think the license might be cheaper as HP is less crazy popular than in the past.  Though with a summer release date for the movie, again a fall release might be too far spaced.

Tron?  meh.   I am not a massive fan of the franchise.. it could be cool,  License wise, the movie is coming out in december, so a fall release would be more accurate time-line wise.

Another possibility that hasn't been brought up is Halo. Halo:Reach will be the big video game launch of the holidays. I don't need to tell you guys how immensely popular Halo is.

Love the Halo idea... but speaking from experience... MS will NEVER let go of the Halo license. It's a true cash cow. When we (a publisher/game manifacturer) go after a license, we always look for a "respected" license. A respected license always sell... but in rare occasions, BIG licenses that do soooooo well... will be protected by the owner. They don't want to attach the license to something that might hurt the franchise. Halo is one of them. MS wants you in front of the TV downloading from Marketplace and playing Halo online... They don't want you playing pinball, away from your console

Man, imagine the Artwork that they "could" do on a Tron pin...wow! Lots of neon and black...big glowing disk in the center....However, were talking Stern here. It would be BBH with the moving deer substituted with a "light-cycle" motorcycle.

Gary mentioned that he wanted to put less toys, and more re-run PF styles (ie. NBA)

Ya, it's time to stop getting hyped up about new Stern pins, even if they handle a theme you really like. The hit to miss ratio is starting to really slide.

I've haven't played Sopranos but isn't it a decent playing pin? Perhaps the theme really limited the appreciation it deserves and, as much as I hate to say it, a re-branding might be a good idea, not unlike Family Guy/Shrek.

The only one I've ever played was a beatup one at Union about a year maybe 1.5 years back ... it was all right I remember having to bash the crap out of the 'safe' in the middle.
