What do you think of the new Stern Foo Fighters Pinball Machine? Let me know in the comments below!

[bigadamdful]

Just spent two hours playing pinball - first time since COVID! 48 tables at The Pinball Parlour in Melb, Australia - and I spent 45 mins of it on the FF LE. It was outstanding, even better than Godzilla (played that one a bit too).

I loved the sci-fi cartoon theme. Artwork and music was brilliant. I did find it difficult at first, had some very quick games. Ramp shots were hard and I need to read the rule set, as I didn’t get the skill shots. But playing the game just made me happy. I even returned to it towards the end of the session.

Wow bro I was at that Foo Fighters release party last night. No wonder you did so well!

[BrianHaskell]

We have a few in Kansas City, at the 403 Club and at Knub's Pub. As a casual player that is just getting into the competitive side, I liked that there are less random "cheap" drains. When it drained, it was my fault. Plus I love the Foo Fighters music.

[TiltingT]

I can not wait to play this one it looks like an absolute blast to play!.. the special plastic add on is rad.. just an absolutely beautiful machine

[paulberres]

Doug, that's a lot of multi-balls 😄. I watched Jack Danger's release video...a lot to love about this table. Looking forward to playing it this weekend at Midwest Gaming Classic. Great Video!!

[tonyv]

I’ve heard nothing but great things about this machine for both the Pro and the Premium/LE model. I haven’t had a chance to play a Pro on location, but I should be getting my LE in few weeks. Hopefully it isn’t to difficult of a player.

[kantidinda]

My neighbor should have his pro in the next week. Can't wait to play. Thanks for posting!

[therexershow]

Looks like I won’t be disappointed. I’m not playing til I get mine through. Thanks Doug.

[skippychurch]

I got the chance to play a pro and was shocked by how awesome the shots were. So unique, so satisfying how the ball moves. Also love that we are getting away from pop bumpers.

[BrianHaskell]

Do you know how 417 Taphouse got the monitors on top of the back boxes to display the DMD video?

[Mo_Ketchups]

This is ONE Stern pin where I just cannot justify settling for the base (“Pro” 👀) model. There’s just way too much you miss out on w the mechs & upper playfield.

I’ve been lurking on this one since it came out. Saturday I met my distro & I’m both over the _moon_ AND walkin on air to say my new FF Premium will be in my small collection THURSDAY!! 🤩🥳🤘🤘

With the newest code, I’m gonna have “Adult Mode” fully cranked to hear the best callout in pin history: *”MotherrrF%CKIN JACKPOT!!!” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣✌️

[SkitzoFPV]

Isn't it cool that the code for Foo Fighters is further along than 007? Seems fun as a 007 owner that we got the shaft.

[curbydinobot]

We need to get a petition going for a Gremlins pinball table. Imagine it with the jerry goldsmith score and when multiball happens the mega madness song plays!

[robertfrost]

:09 What in the world is that backglass on the Bond Pro?

[dangerdonk]

So glad to see this pin be a success. Good for Jack on a first pin too. I like the band but I just got my Godzilla premium a few months back and my NIB Deadpool Pro should be delivered in August.. so holding for now Now I know that Jack can make a good game like Elwin. So now I"m just waiting for a nicer theme and will wait for a good designer. Hoping for rumored He-Man, or dream theme would be Goonies.

[MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Looks so good. I am not the biggest Foo Fighter fan but man I don't think you have to be with this design. I really hope the only Arcade here with only 2 pins drops the Guardians of the Galaxy and adds this instead....hey a guy can dream can't he

[jdteney]

As a owner of the JP home pin I knew jack was gonna knock it out of the park. So much cool things in this game. Im not a huge fan of foo tho so im not interested in owning it. I am very excited to try it. I got a pulp fiction LE on order tho! its my favorite movie so i couldnt resist.

[steve]

Have you played the Aerosmith pinball? Wondering how it compares as I’m thinking of picking that one up.

[pingpong]

Dos it have 15 songs or 8 on the Pro? Thanks!
