Limited Edition Overview
Heavy Metal is a modern Stern / Incendium private-label limited edition, not an early solid-state Stern release. The game centers on Heavy Metal magazine's universe with Taarna and Nelson, a soundtrack mixing original recordings and classic Heavy Metal movie music, and a collector package built around custom art and limited production.
Pricing note: Heavy Metal is sold out, so the price is set slightly below the current market-estimate baseline.
The Heavy Metal pinball machine by Stern Pinball is a raw, unapologetic throwback to pinball’s early solid-state era. With its demanding layout, cult-favorite theme, and pure skill-based gameplay, it’s a perfect addition for collectors seeking vintage character, challenge, and unmistakable early-80s edge.
