Notes:

The following changes were made from the original release, Stern's 2010 'James Cameron’s Avatar':

• The amp suit model does more than just fall down and lift back up. It has animated legs which march up and down.
• The transporter pod has an added motor that allows it to open and close.
• A shaker motor is included in the game.
• There are more models of the characters including a banshee over the ramp, Colonel Quaritch in his amp suit and Na'vi people over the N-A-V-I targets.
• All previously unused lamps are not fully-functioning.
• There's a return to a metal bottom arch which has backlighting for new translucent blue windows.
• Metal playfield slide rails are also fitted in place of the pegs used on newer models.
Stern's original style lock bar makes a comeback.
• A white powerball is included in place of one of the steel balls, along with a sensor which increases scoring when the special ball is in play.
• New game rules and software is added to operate the new playfield devices and features.
• Chrome side rails, lock bar and hinges are installed.

We include in this listing repeated images of the cabinet art to show how the pixelation may not be obvious in all of them.

The first game in this run was shipped December 2, 2010.
