Yup my bad - thought he was talking about the jetpack Bond

That’s what I was thinking all along but if you slow the video down makes you think twice as there is a good bit of wobble even when no ball in that area.

Probably not coded for full effect yet but just wondering what is on bottom side. I’m thinking along the lines of castle in MM but not as intense.

Yeah cause that was a brilliant feature that didn’t give any owners any problems!

Ok, just what is in your pipe, man? I mean I haven’t seen someone this trippy since the 70’s…

What Mando missed in theme integration with Baby Yoda, it gained in the most random theme integration gimmick ever - playing pinball on a Mandolorian helmet! It’s like Eddie looked at the Yoda magnet idea and said …. “Nah, too obvious. What’s something they won’t be expecting?”

Have to admit, wasn’t expecting Bond On A Wand or the Jiggling Rocket Dildo either, but nothing is as random as Mando Helmet.

So odd that the game never says James Bond anywhere except the B-O-N-D inlanes and outlanes. Strange license issue -- but it says 007 everywhere.

Pro and Premium have it on the apron, but that's about it.

Yeah, I was thinking it's like Herman in Munsters. A coil poking it from below to make it wobble.

My guess is the licensors are focusing the brand on 007 instead of being specific to James Bond moving forwards because of No Time To Die.

I don't know about that. I think I read somewhere that "JAMES BOND WILL RETURN"

Every game needs to end with this.

Do we know what bond on a wand does? Is it just a lame ball drop?
I am very close to just cancelling Bond. The hype desintegrated.

Whatever the lamest thing you can imagine in your head - that’s what the wand will do.

You should cancel your order immediately.

I think it picks up the ball with a magnet and drops it over a switch which starts a 2 ball multiball.

From the Feature Matrix (Prem/LE): "Custom sculpted fully decorated James Bond figure with Jetpack; magnetically grabs pinballs and transports them to start multiball and enhance scoring opportunities. At times controlled by the game software and at times controlled directly by the player."

In the Stern Gomez interview George said jetpack Bond “will eventually be user controlled.” It sounds like it could be fun but we don’t really know yet. We should have a lot more answers on the 18th when George and team finally stream this game.

It’s a ball drop:

I thought it was higher than what it looks in that video.

We should complain so they raise it, then the playfield dimples people will blow a gasket when they miss shots from 8” above the playfield. It'll be like orbiter one in the upper 3rd!

I’m pretty George Gomez said if you put a premium or le in your study, the wand will extend out of the cab and do your taxes for you.

The crescent rolls are in the oven for this one! Oh yeah baby!

If it was proven that operators wanted nothing to do with features such as a single moving glove in JM, what makes you think something like "transforming toys" would be a good idea? I could only imagine the maintenance nightmare operators would've had to endure if such a thing had been done. That would have been the real slap to the face. Another bad idea avoided by Stern.

Lol
Gets audited…

The bobble head deadpool toy looks about as exciting as watching paint dry, but most hobbiests love deadpool still. The rocket toy is typical Gomez kinetics... it will be cool.

Finally some good advice from Levi

Watched Dr. No tonight on Amazon Prime. 1 Bond, James Bond movie down 25 to go.

I’m just a little bit ahead of you! Just finished Goldfinger and started Thunderball. Goldfinger is so good. 21 left!

because it's powered and not just moving because the ball hit it. It's animated for effects.

Yea my homie has an EHOH with topper and it’s meched out. That and Gb Prem are stern mech beasts. GZ solid too.

Great movie!

Here a bit further, just finished Diamonds are Forever, the last official Sean Connery . I did have some delay because I needed three times to get through the Lazenby disaster... Live and Let Die tonight.

Paragon Porn for the day One of the most beautiful PF's ever done...thanks Paul Faris!

Back in February 2015, put my name on the CPR pre-order list for a Paragon reproduction they were planning. Received this in August 2020. Definitely worth the wait...CPR took their time and got it right. The colors are accurate & the clearcoat is perfect. For now, it's just wall art in my office.

SORRY, WRONG THREAD...

So your saying it’s animated at all times and not when in that mode or Multiball sequence?

I think at best it animated during launch of MB and wiggles and jiggles do to kinetic energy and nudging at other times.

Coffee with cream baby! This game brings it all up inside ya with the horse feathers bristling by as the foxtrot simplifies the exuberance. Gotta waits for the code to blast by us in the streams but yeah man this one is ready and waiting.

Do you come up with these on the fly or do you walk around all day making up new ways to say how excited you are in your head? I'd like to think the latter...

Haha I have Lazenby next…and am stalling. And I forgot how good Thunderball is.

...maybe not. PM me if you are selling

Are the bond movies back on amazon prime? I was watching them, got to the end of thunderball, and then they all turned to rental only.

They still all show up as free for me. That is definitely odd.

I just got an email from Amazon yesterday announcing all the movies were available free on Prime. I started watching them last week and had to rent each of them.

Do they still run bond films 24 hours a day on TBS?

(Well….commercials with brief bits of bond movies interspersed…)

Has anybody ever watched every bond movie in order in one sitting?

Would
Make those “we watched all the Star Wars movies in a row!” Guys look like
Pikers !!!

Lol. Yeah that’s a tall ask. That’s about 50 hours or approximately 2 days straight with no breaks.

Didn't they used to do that around Thanksgiving, which also corresponded to the traditional movie release date.

Don't remember seeing it lately, but I'm not on traditional cable channels much anymore.

Well, there goes my weekend...

As the water runs through the river this game runs through my head. The flowy of the shots. The wetness of the palms as my callused hand endlessly press the magic plastic to zing the steel. The erect firmness of the rocket eagerly awaiting my balls. Then there is Bond, standing erect and firmly attached to his rockets of glory just waiting to grab my balls! As the water runs through the river, this game brings it all!

Nice! I started watching in August, but then Sept. rolled around and they went away. Must be back again for October. Streaming is an odd beast. Anyway, I'm happy I can get back to where I left off. So far, Goldfinger was by far my favorite. Thunderball maybe my least favorite...I know thats a hot take. Dr. No is probably worse than Thunderball was, but Dr. No gets cut more slack because it was the first one.

Thunderball certainly has its moments but I always found the underwater stuff clunky and the finale isn’t great. Lots of classic bond moments but I’d probably put it just above diamonds are forever as far as Connery bond movies I’d want to watch.

I've seen them all countless times, and anytime I think of Thunderball I always think of the horrible special effects at the end. I know it was the 60s, but woof was that bad.

Watching old movies IS pretty rough, fight scenes are pretty much like watching the WWE.

Back in April I watched all 25 movies within one month (I didn't have Never Say Never Again on Blu-ray or DVD). It turns out that I had never seen Diamonds are Forever, and I also don't think I had seen License to Kill before. The rest was good to rewatch since I didn't remember the details on a lot of them. I also realized that the 5 Daniel Craig movies were basically one continuous story which you might not pick up on when you watch them years apart.

I have all the Bonds on an ancient technology called "DVD", except for the Daniel Craig ones. Hadn't watched them in years, but started on Dr. No last weekend and will start working through all the others. Dr. No shows its age in a lot of ways for sure.
