$6300 for one of 350 "Limited Edition" models.

Standard machine is only $5K...

:-/

I used to play the original machine at school all the time...

Ahhhh....Good times

I received my 2011 stones pinball in March, looks great next to the retro one!
There are quite a few extras on the limited edition version but it comes at an extra price.
Its quite easy to get distracted when playing the game as there is non stop commentary and songs being played.
The 2011 version is a very fast game but I still prefer the 1980 pinball...a bit like comparing a current day car with a 70's classic 8-)

What on earth does "molded Stones licks lips" mean? :blankfriggingstare1

Just guessing...but i think it is the huge tongue in the upper right corner under the glass...
could the balls come out of Mick's mouth
:blankfriggingstare1
:aimama

too bad no Bill/MT in any of the larger pics...I assume the Some Girls cover and others were not altered

That's my kind of Pinball Wizard. You go, Mick!

Rolling Stones Pinball Machine Gets Mick Jagger's Approval

Rolling Stones' lead singer Mick Jagger is a fabulous showman but a recent YouTube clip shows that, well, he doesn't exactly play a really mean pinball game.

The roughly four-minute clip posted on April 22 shows Jagger testing out the new Rolling Stones pinball machine created by Stern Pinball, which is to be released later this year.

"Look at that," Jagger says along with Chris Lord-Alge before starting up the game which features various album covers such as 'Sticky Fingers,' 'Emotional Rescue,' 'Exile on Main Street' and 'A Bigger Bang,' along with stand-up images of Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards, guitarist Ronnie Wood and drummer Charlie Watts performing. None of the studios albums from their Decca era -- from their 1964 self-titled British release through to 1969's 'Let It Bleed' -- appear to be represented in the game.

According to Stern's site, the machine also features a "moving Mick target," a ball lock which changes the songs and artwork featuring the band members. It can also play 13 original Stones songs, including 'She's So Cold,' 'Love Is Strong,' 'Mixed Emotions' and 'Start Me Up' when the game begins.

As well, the game has an 'album multiball' which starts after hitting the Mick target, VIP targets which earn a mystery reward, a world tour scoring round and an 'encore wizard mode' that kicks in after hitting all the different game features.

"On guitar Keith Richards, on guitar Ronnie Wood," a voice with a British accent exclaims says as Jagger keeps playing before he hits the double jackpot. After Jagger's pinball goes between the flippers, the signature Rolling Stones tongue licks the random numbers to see if there's a match for an extra play.

If you got the silver, one play is 75 cents or $2 for three plays. Fans wanting more, er, satisfaction can also purchase the machine for $5,699 US through Stern. The machine isn't the first such Rolling Stones pinball machine. In 1980, Ballys created one featuring Jagger, Richards, Wood, Watts and then bassist Bill Wyman on the scoreboard but didn't include any music.
