What's the Deal with the Pro Model?
Picture this: you're a pinball purist, a flipper fanatic. The Pro model is your ticket to pinball paradise. It's the no-frills, stripped-down version that focuses on pure gameplay. Primarily designed with the street operator in mind for quicker return on investment. The Pro model is typically lacking a few mechanical features that the Premium and Limited Edition have. It's like the black coffee of the pinball world - simple, strong, and gets the job done.
Why Go Premium?
Now, if you're looking for a little extra razzle-dazzle in your pinball experience, the Premium model might be more your speed. Think of it as the deluxe version, with added features, interactive toys, and upgraded artwork. The premium model is the full game play experience as the game designer intended it to me.
Is Limited Edition the Ultimate Choice?
Ah, the Limited Edition - the holy grail of pinball machines. This is the top-of-the-line, that serious collectors dream of. Limited in quantity (usually 500-1000 made worldwide) and packed with exclusive features (mirrored backglass, unique cabinet artwork, powder coated exterior cabinet armor (side rails, backbox hinges, legs and lockbar) to better fit the theme of the game, high definition/anti-glare playfield glass, more robust sound system, shaker motor and illuminated backbox speaker lighting. In addition Limited Editions include an individually numbered plaque on the backbox as well include a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Seth Davis (CEO of Stern Pinball) and apron signed by the game designer. The Limited Edition is the ultimate flex for any pinball aficionado.
So, there you have it, folks. Whether you're a pinball purist, a flashy flipper, or a collector extraordinaire, there's a Stern Pinball model for you. All models whether Pro, Premium or Limited Edition offer the same game play rules and modes with the common goal of reaching the almighty grand finale, Wizard Mode!
