This listing has pictures showing different stages of Stern's production:
• The whitewood game.
• The Engineering Prototype which never leaves the factory.
• A prototype on test location. Major changes can still be made to the design.
• An Early Production game being assembled on the production line. Games made early in the run may be no different from any game in the remainder of the run, but sometimes they are different if changes become necessary during the run after these early games are already out the door.
• Factory Production Line. This is later in the production run at the factory.
• Pictures of the final product after it left the factory, submitted by a customer/owner.
