Today is the day where Stern All-Access Insiders can begin ordering Limited Edition models for Foo Fighters, the latest design from Stern Pinball and the second game by Jack Danger of Dead Flip Pinball Streaming. To entice buyers beyond the theme, they’ve rolled out the official product page for it on their site, which includes model photos as well as this new game trailer:

The game pits the Foo Fighter band against evil attacking aliens, alluding to the origination of the term that came out of WW2 and unexplained UFO sightings. There are three models as usual (Pro, Premium, LE), with Pros starting at $6999 MSRP. Here’s a link to the game’s Features Matrix [PDF]

Here’s a description of the what’s going on with the theme from the official page:

    Looks good but is not something I consider for the basement.
    I’m currently still waiting how the software of 007 developes and how much the Bond on a stick toy actually will do then and if it really justifies a $2700 difference in MSRP.
