Stern Pinball, which has turned its pinball machine business into a global lifestyle brand, is announcing that it has created a Stranger Things pinball machine, based on the popular Netflix series Stranger Things.

Chicago-based Stern Pinball, founded by Gary Stern, is launching three different versions of the machine, dubbed Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models. Prices are to-be-determined, but typically Stern sells the machines for $5,000 to $8,200. People buy the machines out of a sense of nostalgia, longing for the good old days with simpler games and simpler machines, or so Stern has told me.
