METALLICA - The Pinball!!!!!!!
« on: October 08, 2009, 07:58:28 PM »
Well Pacific show is over and after its public showing i can now post some pics of the 1 off METALLICA pinball..it won Best Of Show
This was commissioned by James Hetfield and made by Wade Kraus... my contact in all this is my good buddy Dan Kramer who puts it all together.

Well... it WAS a 1 off... but now the other members of the band all want one each too... ive been sworn to secrecy over this but have now been given the go ahead to put some pics on this  forum..

no need to go on - pictures tell it all

ENJOY!@!@!

Looks great $$(  $$( $$( $$(

imagine if they did do a production run on this pin

and if one day one of their kids decide to sell one after they inherit it, it would sell for more than the best condition Kiss pin

Im not sure whats cooler getting to build this pin or actually meeting James Hetfield.
  You would have to have written someplace that he needs to make a service call once a month surely
