Quoted from Powdevil:

I’m pretty sure Dragonfist is the rarest of the lot at only 302 made. Nine Ball was listed at 2279 units. Catacomb has been listed at over 3000 but some people have argued that serial number listings indicate somewhere in 800’s. 1223 Cheetahs made.

Quoted from smileymatthew:

Don't forget about Viper as well being on the rare list.. along with Split Second.

Dragonfist is the lowest unit produced at 302, as you stated.

There were 22 classic Sterns that used the MPU-200 board. Of the 22 names that were produced, there are production numbers for all but two.

There are no production numbers for either Catacomb and Split Second. From things that I had read, the "conventional" wisdom was about 2200 Catacombs produced. I did a write up a while back laying out my thoughts that were probably less than 1000 Catacombs produced and I am thinking the number is less than 900.

I also think there were around 950 Split Seconds produced.

We can for or against, but any reasonable guess can be can be brought forth since Stern did not provide production numbers for these two titles only. The burning question could be why did Stern not provide production numbers for just these two pins?

I'm not naming names, but there is a Pinsider with a nice Stern Collection. He had an Iron Maiden and a Viper. And he sold both. I like his collection so when he sold those two pins, I kind of figured these were two to not worry about.

Someone asked about Lightning. Of the Sterns I have played and own, I consider Lightning to be a parts machine.

Quoted from Methos:

Which is disappointing (I also don't think it's very good) as it was designed by the same person who did Quicksilver.

Everybody has at least one piece of junk in their portfolio And Dr. Dave proves that there is a pin for everybody.

Quoted from getadam:

No way! I have Dragonfist and Star Gazer and I don't think they play similar AT ALL. I love them both in very different ways. They are both A titles for me. And for sheer action and intensity I might even give the edge to Dragonfist. It's awesome.

Wait until you get a Catacomb. Once you figure out what the Bagatelle does for you, and how to play it, there is not much that is any better. The play field action is fast and very unforgiving. It is not a drain monster. It will pick your pocket, fair and square.

Quoted from Tommy-dog:

I am not a huge fan of the artwork on Lightning

The artwork is the only thing I like about it. I think Lighting is a beautiful pin. But I prefer the single level play fields.

Different strokes.
