Stranger Things Premium is a premium pinball machine manufactured by Stern Pinball, designed by Brian Eddy and revealed at CES 2020. The game features Netflix's Stranger Things intellectual property with signature mechanics including a Demogorgon toy, flip-down ramp, projector technology, and magnet ball lock. Since its December 2024 release, the machine has experienced notable market volatility, with strong sales spikes following Netflix season releases but declining secondary market prices through 2025, reflecting typical premium game market cycles.
