***UPDATE***

Unbelievable. Stern pinball announces the sell out to distributors of the Mtallica Master of Puppets Limited Edition pinball machine.

"Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,

Our US allocation for Metallica Master of Puppets has sold out within the 
first hour of our detailed announcement. The export allocations are 
selling out quickly. Working together we will have tremendous sales and 
success with all versions of ths great Metallica game."

Gary Stern
President
Stern Pinball, Inc

I have been in the pinball hobby / business for many years and have never seen any game sell out this quickly. It's just like selling out concert tickets in record time. If you did not get one pre ordered it might be tough.

Congratulations Stern on your success!

Song list for the game will be:

Creeping Death
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Fuel
Master Of Puppets
The Unforgiven
Seek And Destroy
Battery
Sad But True
Enter Sandman
One
Fade To Black
The End Of The Line

Stern Pinball Launches Metallica Game

World’s Leading Maker of Arcade Quality Pinball Announces Newest Addition to Rock and Roll Collection

MELROSE PARK, IL – April 11, 2013 – Stern Pinball, Inc., the world’s leading maker of real pinball games and the AAMA 2012 Manufacturer of the Year, proudly announced today the availability of the Metallica pinball game. The newest addition to the iconic Stern collection of rock and roll machines honors one of the world’s foremost rock bands. Metallica’s notoriously fast tempos and aggressive musicianship sets the tone for an exciting player experience.

Players will be able to bang their heads and their flippers to 12 classic Metallica hits including “Master of Puppets,” “One” and “Fade to Black.” Other action-packed game features include an electric chair, snake, grave marker and unparalleled magnetic action.

“We are proud to release our newest music-themed game designed to capture the raw, rebellious nature of Metallica,” said Gary Stern, Chairman and CEO of Stern Pinball, Inc.

The Metallica game continues both the Stern Pinball and the Stern family tradition of producing quality pinball machines for young and old. The company traces its lineage to Philadelphia in the 1930s when Sam Stern entered the business of operating pinball games. Sam Stern subsequently became part owner and president of Williams Manufacturing, a pioneer in the pinball industry, and passed his lifelong enthusiasm for the game and the business of pinball to his son Gary Stern who founded Stern Pinball. Today pinball remains one of America’s favorite pastimes.

Formed in 1981 by drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield, Metallica have become one of the most influential and commercially successful rock bands in history, having sold 110 million albums worldwide and playing to millions of fans the world over. They have scored several multi-platinum albums, including 1991’s Metallica (commonly referred to as “The Black Album”), which is the best selling album in history of Soundscan scanning 16 million albums in the United States alone.  Their latest album, Death Magnetic, was certified platinum just six weeks after it debuted atop the Billboard Top 200 Album chart in October 2008. Death Magnetic charted at #1 in 32 countries. Metallica have also garnered numerous awards and accolades, including nine Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, and multiple MTV Video Music Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009. The band recently celebrated its 30th-Anniversary with a week’s worth of fan club concerts at the Fillmore Theater in San Francisco, CA. In 2012, they announced the launch of Orion Music + More, an annual two-day festival curated and headlined by the band. This past summer, Metallica unveiled a brand new stage in Mexico City that featured iconic elements that spanned its 30-year career. They played eight shows to nearly 180,000 fans at the Sports Arena in Mexico City. Later that month the band performed four shows on the same stage in Canada, two in Edmonton and two in Vancouver, during which they shot their upcoming Nimród Antal directed 3D Feature Film, Through The Never, which will be released in 2013. 

Pricing and Availability:

The Metallica pinball machine is available through authorized Stern distributors and dealers.

Pro Version:  $4,995
Premium Version (road case): $6,995
Limited Edition Version: (Master of Puppets) $7,595
