Stern, 2022Quoted from soren:Seems like the swing arm mech drops the ball on completely horisontal "standup target".
Wonder if the rocket feature a new and innovative bounce the ball at the targets. Does not look like a standard pop bumper mech.

There is protective foam around the rocket so it does do some sort of movement. Maybe jitters around like it's launching off.
Quoted from Vino:Well, appears these games have been shipped.
Hard to control what happens after that.
That’s my point - if they don’t want this to happen then all they need to do is reveal the game before the first machine leaves the factory.
Quoted from Roostking:You can't price gouge on a toy.
You can when you have this many people so hopelessly addicted.
No wonder Gomez was so eager to leak details about it. Looks like such a love letter to classic Bond.
Quoted from Flipper_McGavin:There is protective foam around the rocket so it does do some sort of movement. Maybe jitters around like it's launching off.
My guess is it vibrates 
If this is a Connery, fair to think they're will be a Roger Moore, etc? We could be looking at a series.
Looks cool, interested to see how all the mechs play with each other and how a pro vs premium works out. Probably won't really see the premium in action outside of the reveal stream tomorrow I guess?
Quoted from Vino:Well, appears these games have been shipped.
Hard to control what happens after that.
Then if this isn't even some sort of secret photo, for heavens sake, focus the camera before you take photos haha. Unless this is some setup for the stream tomorrow and not delivered to a location?
Quoted from Psw757:Someone said it actually launches to some extent
Ok I’ll say it…
“Will it smoke?” 
Quoted from Flipper_McGavin:There is protective foam around the rocket so it does do some sort of movement. Maybe jitters around like it's launching off.
Shipping foam someone forgot to remove. Probably an early photo by an excited geek.
Quoted from Saltimbanco:If this is a Connery, fair to think they're will be a Roger Moore, etc? We could be looking at a series.
That would be pretty amazing for them to do eras of pins.
Quoted from docquest:I'm glad the left the helmet off of Bond on the Jetpack. That really made him look like a dork.
[quoted image]
Exactly. Nobody wore helmets when riding Jetpacks in the 60's and 70's.
Quoted from Pinballer31520:Pro - Dr No
Premium - You Only Live Twice
LE Thunderball
any SLE?
I think George and the Stern team have totally nailed this. Some of you are not so happy with the artwork but again this is the artwork of the era - I can't wait until my Thunderball edition arrives. Will have to try and get Tom Jones to sign it!
Quoted from chooch:Supposedly a 60th anniversary edition is coming
So will this be considered a KaPow release?
Quoted from NeilMcRae:I think George and the Stern team have totally nailed this. Some of you are not so happy with the artwork but again this is the artwork of the era - I can't wait until my Thunderball edition arrives. Will have to try and get Tom Jones to sign it!
Exactly right I love the art and the playfield it gives the feel of the era!! Any pics of the Thunderball edition?
Quoted from Psw757:I’m wondering if the missile moves or rises out of PF, foam stuffed around it so I’m thinking it moves.
I mean, just how sexual do you want this thing to be? I feel it is phallic enough.
Quoted from Beebl:Does the ball flow through here to load it into the tower for the bird one multiball, with a diverter that pops out? That could be a very satisfying shot...[quoted image]
Does the ball go behind the tower and into an elevator or vuk and then into lock?
Maybe rocket comes up and releases balls?
this might actually be the controlled environment, like a soft (leak) release to get the speculation into overdrive, which is working
Quoted from Psw757:Maybe rocket comes up and releases balls?
There is a slide behind the targets. 3 positions ball trough with uppost release.
Quoted from NeilMcRae:things look better in the flesh.
which means your looking at it now Neil? 
cant wait to see the game too
Quoted from PanzerKraken:The playfield looks good, but that Only Live Twice on the premium looks like a terrible choice.
I actually love it!
Quoted from fourvdean:this might actually be the controlled environment, like a soft (leak) release to get the speculation into overdrive, which is working
its probably also raining TS4 reservation cancellations all around those distros due to this release..
Quoted from Psw757:Does the ball go behind the tower and into an elevator or vuk and then into lock?
Maybe rocket comes up and releases balls?
Or perhaps magnets in the front where it locks two balls at the base of the rocket.
Quoted from JustLikeMe:I don’t understand how this keeps happening. It’s hard to feel bad for them when all they have to do to control the narrative is to release their promo images before the first game leaves the factory. That’s the controlled environment.
It’s also hard to feel bad for them because they’ve been gouging us with never ending price increases for years now, but that’s another topic entirely.

Quoted from fooflighter:I actually love it!
agreed, it's exactly the artwork from the movie. Sure you can "modernise it" but I prefer the original and this art suits the game to a T from my POV.
I just went by SIS and Q branch has been totally raided for this pinball machine!
Quoted from Yoko2una:Any idea what's going on under the upper flipper?
Pussy Galore
Best guess is the pro art will be based on this poster.

well played

I dig the artwork because it tells me that George set out to make this as campy and fun as he possibly could. In my opinion that is what a Bond pinball machine should be and damn it looks like GG and team have delivered. Personally I would prefer campy old school James Bond art over a slick stylized approach. Not saying they couldn't have done it differently or better, just saying I like the tone of what I'm seeing.
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:Best guess is the pro art will be based on this poster.

Yea they said Dr no is the Pro model. So is the right side art the montage of posters on all models?
Quoted from fourvdean:this might actually be the controlled environment, like a soft (leak) release to get the speculation into overdrive, which is working
Maybe not controlled. But these could very well be the stream games for tomorrow being set up. Someone taking some candid cell pics (thus lack of focus control) as they were setting things up. But honestly when I would go get footage of places you're not supposed to take photos... shoot video and then pull in focus screen grabs later.
Quoted from PanzerKraken:Yea they said Dr no is the Pro model. So is the right side art the montage of posters on all models?
So a yea on no? For the pro.
id rather have a smooth shooting game with mediocre artwork, then a good looking turd shooting game in an enclosed box..
so yeah good Job Stern on this!
if im busy playing this game hardcore i wont have the time or ability to drool on the great looking playfield anyways, when i play this all i care for if this shoots nice and right, and it looks like Bond have those assets, so yeah this game will be a top 10 release!
Nice retro-feel to it. Fits with the theme. Colour coded inserts with few (major shot arrows) being multi-colour. And - look mom no playfield screen.
Looks awesome. Cant wait for play videos and reports.
Quoted from soren:Is this an upwards facing but otherwise standard scoop mech? Interesting.
[quoted image]
Looks like you enter the scoop behind the flipper and then it shoots it upward from the scoop you pointed out. A quick turn arund like Data east JP but the other direction.
Quoted from Beebl:Does the ball flow through here to load it into the tower for the bird one multiball, with a diverter that pops out? That could be a very satisfying shot...[quoted image]
How about that LOCK insert you drew right over? 
Quoted from JakePG:who's doing rules?
7x playfield multiplier? My guess is Dwight
