I was kind of hoping that we were going to get a peek at Stern Pinball's massive new factory today and sure enough a few minutes ago Stern shared a video of its employees setting up its new facility. This place looks massive! Stern had been waiting until it was up and running at its new facility to begin producing Venoms, so hopefully this means that Venom Pros are on the line as we speak. If so, they should start showing up on location next week!
