If you hadn’t told me that I’d never know it.

The music had a perfect campy brassy 60s feel and I thought it was all from the show.

I agree you’d really want the entire original Barry score for those movies available for the bond pin.

Heres what I think may be the 4th edition(KME edition) of this game. Same layout, maybe different artwork, maybe 1 extra mech but different KME code. Kind of like what they are doing with CCr with the Lyman code. Maybe this other edition will be the KME take on it with limited art and such. I just dont see why they would do an entirely different playfield with the same license.

Have they showed the back box or translite yet?

This take makes zero sense. Why would they bring goat in to put a new dressing on an existing layout? They could hire an intern to do that.

I don’t buy any of this nonsense but then I’m not in in the podcast business.

I dont buy much of it either, Im saying if theres a 4th edition by Keith maybe its something like this. In the end I still think this is a lot of smoke and does not happen

I don't think there is another different game by Keith

At most maybe they redo The Beatles with a James Bond layer of paint and say that Keith tweaked some of the rules. But even that is not some trivial project. There's a lot of work to do in terms of art, sound, and video. So I really doubt it.

Also it would make more sense to retheme a home game. (tbh I'd love to see what Keith could do with the restrictions of a home game, mostly because I think he could do a very good job of it even if it's not the best use of his talents at Stern)

The home games are probably
Stern’s least profitable models by unit sold. Just doesn’t make any sense to me to put their hottest designer on it, when they can have him do a “regular” game and they can all take baths in cash off premium sales for the next 5 years like with Godzilla.

We all want more GOAT games but this isn’t the way it’s gonna happen.

Here here!

I agree it makes no sense to put Keith on anything but huge cornerstone licenses (which is also why it makes no sense to keep him restricted to a SLE price range)

I'm just curious about what a home game from him would look like because he's very clever with his BOM

This site can talk itself into anything

Bond women? When has it ever been Bond women? It's Bond girls, always has been. PC raising it's ugly head again.

I'm pretty sure Stern are planning a Roger Moore Bond as a follow up (providing sales targets are hit... and surpassed). And maybe then, your top designer will be on the job.

Roger Moore is the target demographic, not Connery. I'm 52 and Moore is the Bond I grew up watching.

Technically, its persons with uteruses now. Women/girl is no longer an accepted term in todays world.

So we have Bonds "persons with uterues". Rolls right off the tongue!

Calling them “women” instead of “girls” is really interfering with my enjoyment of the Bond franchise!

Hahaha persons with uteruses

I'm guess I'm not fully woke yet. I did say henchmen even though the one from Thunderball (Fiona Volpe) is a woman/girl/female.

Ding, ding, ding…. porno password continues in the Bond thread!

Todays word, “uteruses”

yeah, dumb woke nonsense...Bond Bitches is a better name

/s

Isn't it like Birthing People now or something lol, its so hard to keep up. Probably the only thing keeping people creating a stink about what is in pinball machines or the exploitations of the Bond uterus enabled people and that they are all white, is that the silly woke people haven't made their way to pinball.

Now. Back to the regular scheduled program,

Pumped for this game as Connery is my favorite. Mentioned on the TPN podcast, would have been great if Goldeneye was part of the game, could make a Xenia Onatopp Topper.

I love the movie version of Drax. He has one of the best villain lines ever.

I'm pretty "woke"

I just don't bother to argue with you dudes because you all a) don't actually care about the problem b) have some pretty dumb opinions based on your jokes and c) it's not worth it because no one is about to change their minds on this issue in a pinball forum

So maybe we knock it off with all the weak trans jokes?

Or let's make poor taste jokes about how it's Bond women because Gomez is the designer. If you want to collect girls, get Trudeau out of jail

See...that's how you make a bad taste joke while punching down on someone who actually deserves it

I'm afraid of woke.

Woke people won't let me say insensitive things anymore.

This is serious bros.

Cactus Canyon Remake that's starting price $8K vs TS4 $12K

TS4 is a full 50% more expensive.

If you were to buy a CCr LE (they are sold out) but the price was $9250 vs $15K for TS4 CE (that's 60% more money for TS4).

Which would make more on route in 3 different cities? 2 CCRs or 2 TS4s?

Trick question…

1 Godzilla in 1 city

Final answer

Any good guesses or info on pricing yet?

Not for another week. My guess: $7,500/9,500/11,500 for Pro/Premium/LE.

A little more than you want to spend but nowhere near the TS4 insane pricing.

I hope on Keith's version they add the claw machine that was scrapped from TS4

Roger was a class act…. should have been A View to A Kill

Almost certainly higher. Add a thousand to each.

That would make a Pro $7,899 MSRP. Jeez this hobby is getting ridiculous.

One can only hope it's nothing more than a few hundred dollars

Prices here in the U.K. in USD would make your eyes water and the hair on your neck stand straight! Pretty stoked that even though I’m now well and truly priced out that I can make Bond my last NIB purchase absolute no.1 theme for me with BTTF a close second. Rest of my dream themes will never get made.

You still have your Tron.. that should be dream theme number one.

Yeah, each bond girl’s got more than a few lines, same with villains/henchmen…but gadgets, they’ll totally be limited to one movie clip’s worth of use.
I didn’t mind the variety of music in bm66…except I still have a tough time with the stuff they picked for eartha kitt’s set and the alternate penguin set. But the bond music is iconic…I hope they stay true to it, and like you said, use the original/remixed scores.

I'm going to stay optimistic and hope that Stern moves the new Pro price to $6999 ($100 increase) since they usually also bump up prices around another $100 at the end of the calendar year. Street prices should really stay below $7K for route ops and to entice new collectors into the hobby. You can subsidize the Pro price by charging more on the LE and Super LE models as those typically command higher than MSRP prices on the secondary market. Pro prices tend to fall on the secondary market even for hit games like Godzilla until they are no longer in production.

I'm 42 and I grew up with all the Bonds. I'm most fond of Connery. It's no contest.

Gadgets could easily have custom animations associated with them. They maybe like weaspons/armour in Mando.

Great theme.
Any insight if songs/music are available with the game?

Congratulations!
Non refundable deposits are bad business, plain and simple. And used only by makers that have little to no confidence in their product.

Non refundable doesn’t bother me as much as not guaranteeing a price with the non refundable deposit. That shit has to go.

Non-refundable deposits should bother us all, as its been used by companies in sneaky ways. Making people commit to the product before even seeing the game. It’s single handedly killing the pinball boutique world. Few want to take a chance any longer, because we might get stung. Why not let the product speak for itself? If its good let the buyer decide after reveal whether to maintain the deposit or get it back like most all other businesses operate???

I am a awake, not woke. Your still asleep if your woke.

Like people who paid deposits for Queen and only a few images and zero gameplay. Supposed to ship October but heard code only 20% along. Huge pass for me.

Connery and Moore are my Bonds, and I prefer Connery.

I stopped paying attention to what you said after, “I’m pretty woke”….. Lol.

I don't know what I just read

Hey look, it's an actual sentence and coherent thought.

Also James Bond guys! We gotta keep this hype train going for a few more days. Ummm... the little loop shot around the missile looks cool and is an interesting use of a drop target bank and one-way-wire.

That is one of the best quotes on Pinside!

When one is in Egypt!
