Interesting.... This is literally the EXACT same layout as my Stern SW Home Pin. I think that's the same layout as Spider-Man Home Pin as well. Wonder if this is real and they will try to sell this.
Don't get me wrong, it's a fun layout, but there is a bit much to be desired on it if we are talking normal Stern prices ($6800+). If my SW Home pin was a Stern Pro, I'd expect maybe one more toy or some magnets. It's already damn close though to being a good enough layout for a Pro.

Definitely real. Probably only a few will be made like the Supreme sterns I imagine.

This this is pretty. Wonder how limited it is.
Quoted from hank527:How limited?
Well the run is limited... but you could always just right-click save it 
Quoted from musketd:Someone said it is 1 of 1 but not confirmed yet
And they did the art banners for it also? That would be wild, someone would have had to pay an incredible price to make that happen for some promotion.
I’ve never heard of this IP and can’t find anything on it on the internet in a casual search other than the barcade people are linking above. Is there anything further on this IP or is this some event? Very interesting and wow it looks great!

(I just wanna say I am not a crypto / NFT person. I hope all this crypto stuff continues to crash as it brings no value to the world and massively depletes resources… for nothing.)
Oakville, ON
Quoted from HFK:Ok, I am not well versed at all, what the hell is an NFT pin? I thought non-fungible tokens were just that, a token and you never actually own the real thing if there is one.
I'm too old for this sh*t lol
Pin looks great though
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:So isn’t this just Stern’s Black Label offering?
Just like Heavy Metal, some NFT bro with enough money just had a custom run of his choice and Stern slapped it on their existing layouts.
They let you choose from JP, SW, and SM
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Quoted from HFK:Ok, I am not well versed at all, what the hell is an NFT pin? I thought non-fungible tokens were just that, a token and you never actually own the real thing if there is one.
Technically the NFT is just a record on a digital ledger (blockchain). It can refer to a real item and transfer of the NFT *could* be a means to transfer ownership of the real item.
For instance, mere possession of a car isn't the entire ownership of it, the title is required as well. The title to my car is (partially) represented by a piece of paper the government sent me. But it is also the (computer) record maintained by the state. If I lose the paper title, I can request a new one from the state. But I can also transfer ownership by signing over the paper (or requesting it be transferred to the state DMV).
If a state chose to handle car registration via a blockchain, then there could be an NFT to represent each car registered in the state. Instead of transferring ownership by signing over the piece of paper, it could be done digitally using an app. Is this better? Probably not, but it is *possible*.
Now in real estate there are real reason to do things digitally, since there are significant costs (title search) and possible fraud that happens using the paper records. But frankly existing blockchain solutions are not able to address the issues necessary to make real estate titles a practical solution on the blockchain.
There are some luxury goods that are moving to the blockchain as a means to reduce counterfeit fraud. Some brands of handbags and wristwatches for instance have started to issue NFTs as proof of provenance and to track maintenance records.
I guess this is actually good for pinball at some level. It is possible that this kind of project will bring pinball to the attention of some who would otherwise never approach a pin.

Yeah, basically it's just a VERY LIGHTLY rethemed Heavy Metal machine in a standard Spike2 cab with a full sized color screen instead of dmd.
This is a perfect pin for the current state of pinball. A bunch of suckers overpaying for things that aren't remotely worth the money they're spending, but they keep doing it because other suckers keep paying them more than what they invested originally and everyone thinks it will just keep going up forever and nobody will be left holding the bag.
It's performance art on a meta level.
Quoted from EJS:That artwork is begging for some black lights.
It is. Theme is nothing to me obviously but it still looks like a decent game.
Quoted from Haymaker:It looks incredible! Cool and quirky theme. Another one to make boomers big mad like Supreme did. I wish it was more than just a The Pin
Why make this about age? People could have just as easily said: Another game with a monkey that will do something that the young people can’t handle and makes them melt down mentally like the monkey on Octoberfest did. Why go out of your way to poke at people?
I agree, the game looks great and I wish it wasn’t just a The Pin.
Bet you need to own a BAYC to purchase. Been rumors of exclusive “opportunities” for a while for holding one. Heard there was possibility a cruise ship, and private island in the works even at one point. Interesting that it has IC as well.
Quoted from musketd:Someone said it is 1 of 1 but not confirmed yet
They'll surely make more than 1.
Quoted from Only_Pinball:The designers of this game know us very well....[quoted image]
FOMO 4 LIFE!
Quoted from Yoko2una:Even if it’s a one-off “NFT” bull crap thing, what the hell is this license anyway???
[quoted image]
I'm certain they'll make about 100 hell maybe even 200!
Quoted from titanpenguin:Would make sense to be one of one if it’s a NFT.
They'll certainly be making more than 1...
On a Facebook thread I follow, a total Karen went off on this pin and NFTs. I had no idea this existed If I was rich as eff I'd buy one for that reason alone.
Quoted from Haymaker:It looks incredible! Cool and quirky theme. Another one to make boomers big mad like Supreme did. I wish it was more than just a The Pin
See my post. I learned about this pin because a Karen went off on another Facebook pinball thread i visit.
