There sure is a lot of KISS bashing on this thread. The original 1978 KISS machine is the only reason I'm a pinball collector, and in love with the hobby. Ever since I saw a KISS machine at a bowling alley when I was about 5 years old, I dreamed of owning my own. I thought it was the coolest looking thing ever -it's truly one of my earliest memories.
I could argue that the playfield art on KISS is some of the greatest in pinball history. Before I get lit up for this statement, take a moment to Google it, and judge for yourself.
Metallica is my favorite band of all time, so I knew I had to own that pin NIB (and it's now my prized possession). I doubt there is another theme that would ever move me to buy new again -except KISS. If Stern puts out a good looking and fun to play KISS, I will for sure be purchasing a NIB one.
Fingers crossed....
