Happy Friday everyone! Since the game launched, Stern Pinball has been working on the initial run of the Pro version of its newest pinball machine Foo Fighters. The majority of that run was destined for operators and it is already starting to appear on location at bars, breweries and arcades across the United States. I'm headed to a local location to put some plays on one myself very soon. This week, Stern has begun manufacturing the Limited Edition version of Foo Fighters. According to a recent e-mail from Stern to Insider Connected All-Access members who ordered an LE directly from its website, those machines should begin arriving at customers' homes as early as April 14th and no later than April 21st.
