Wow, two American Pinball articles in one day. After the launch of the company's latest game, Legends of Valhalla, American made the cool decision to give buyers of the Deluxe Edition of the game (the first 500 units) free inner art blades. I've seen new owners of the game mention that their machines came with the new blades installed over the past week or so. The company just shared the first official picture of the blades and stated that they are preparing to ship them out to registered game owners over "the next several weeks."
