Stern's John Wick Pinball Released; Everything We Know So Far
Last week, Stern Pinball confirmed the upcoming release of a John Wick pinball machine. We've been waiting to receive more substance before writing a deep dive post on the release, and today, we finally got some!
John Wick represents a bit of an odd theme choice for Stern, at least judging by recent patterns. While it peaked at #13 on our Hype Index, it doesn't scratch the nostalgia itch for a predominantly male, middle-aged buyer, and is an IP that is probably more violent then a lot of operators and home collectors might otherwise prefer.
