If this is aimed at kids (with rich parents), it won't work . Kids don't have the attention span these days. For $3000, go and buy them a nice fishtales.

Absolutely a backwards step for stern. Their marketing dept are still in the dark ages.

Kids in general don't have the attention span at all for pinball these days, they would much rather do other things..... who will be buying pinballs in 30+ yrs???............. @@^
Enjoy it while you can.

Attention span - Yep - I totally agree.

Rather do other things - This is interesting. Whenever we have family gatherings at my place, my nieces and nephews cannot pull themselves off the pinballs or the soccer table. Because they are not exposed to pinball like our generation, they have a fascination with them when they do play them. The only time they lose interest is when their phones ring or they need to get on facebook to see their messages. I often see games left with a couple of balls remaining and the niece / nephew is in the corner looking at their phone. I feel VERY sorry for this generation. Once pinball is gone, it will never return. This is what I keep telling my son. Thankfully, he shares my passion.
