Will Stern Pinball launch a Ghostbusters Pinball Machine?

There has been a lot of recent speculation that Stern will launch a Ghostbusters Pinball Machine in 2016, to tie in with the release of the new movie Ghostbusters 3, but what the new pinball machine will look like is still anybody’s guess.

We already know that the cast for the new film has been confirmed as an all female one but those in the know suspect that the Stern Ghostbusters pinball machine will stick to the classic cast of Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson, from the original 1984 movie. We hope that this rumour at least is true considering most pinball collectors of today will have seen the original Ghostbusters as children and many will retain fond memories of the film.

Moving on from speculation about which edition of the film the Ghostbusters pinball machine might be based on, the next thing to think about is what editions will be released. When Stern Pinball release a machine, there are usually a couple of different variations so you can probably expect Ghostbusters Pro, Premium and Limited editions but what could those different editions involve?

Usually, the Pro version is seen as the original with the Premium often involving a change of artwork as well as some extra complexity to the game. It brings on thoughts of whether there might be a “Slimer Limited Edition” or “Stay Puft Limited Edition”.

Obviously, everyone involved with pinball machines in the UK, will be hoping that Stern will preview the new Ghostbusters Pinball Machine at EAG 2016 in London ready for sale during March. You can be sure, however, that Pinball Heaven will be keeping a sharp eye out for further information and, if the rumours are true and you are looking for a Ghostbusters Pinball Machine for sale in the UK, we will be getting this iconic pinball machine in stock as soon as it’s available.
