STERN Pinball Brings Metallica Pro to Comic-Con International 2013

Stern Pinball Inc. announced today that their third annual Comic-Con International pinball tournament will host their largest and one of their most talked about pins, Metallica Pro, which celebrates one of the world's most famous and successful heavy metal bands today.

Contenders, pin-enthusiasts and cos-players alike will have the opportunity to play the machine at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con International 2013; the tournament will begin Preview Night at Comic-Con on July 17th and the finals will be held on July 20th.

"Since their launch in May, Stern's Metallica machines quickly developed a massive following," said Jody Dankberg, Director of Marketing and Licensing for Stern Pinball.

"We are thrilled to 'officially' debut the pro version at San Diego Comic-Con where our craftsmanship will be put to the test as p[layers experience the unique features and addictive nature of Metallica pinball."

Attendees will be able to compete in the competition for the chance to win a cash prize and pinball backglass. In addition to the annual tournament, Stern Pinball will sponsor a few attention-grabbing giveaways, including a Kirk Hammett guitar, and Stern will also be hosting an exclusive autograph session with famed pop culture artist Dirty Donny Giles, the artist responsible for the incredible cabinet artwork on the Metallica LE, on Thursday July 18th at 2pm.

Anyone wanting to sign up can find Stern Pinball at the Nuclear Blast America and JSR Merchandising booth #503.
