And it will keep going on until people stop paying, and they haven't yet.

...Says someone who just reached out to his distributor for an LE a couple hours ago. I still need to see it play, of course, but hearing that it's gonna be Connery Bond cuts deep. That's the good stuff. Probably wouldn't have looked twice at a Craig Bond machine.

Yep. The old Bonds may be campy, but they're also more clever. Connery Bond gets through most situations with wits and charm, Craig Bond climbs up the sides of buildings and jumps off trains.

I just dropped my LE reservation. It's very nice looking, but $13K is silly. Not even sure if the Premium is worth it over the Pro, will need to see gameplay videos to decide. Bond on a wand looks cumbersome and not very fun.

That's a cool chart but I think you should cut out the Multimorphic modules. Those aren't playable as-is so they can't really be compared to working pins, and cutting off everything below $5000 will give the chart more space.

I usually go for Prem/LE because I've genuinely liked most of the Premium gameplay add ons in past games from the big (LZ, Munsters, BKSOR) to the small (Deadpool, Maiden). But I'm just not seeing it here and am going with a Pro. Hell, I feel like I should be paying more just to avoid that Bond on a wand. That thing looks like it's gonna be tedious.

It's really not stripped back. I always go for Prem/LE because I genuinely liked the gameplay add-ons and felt they were worth the $ bump. Here it's the rocket tower lock which is neat but not $2800 neat, and the Bond on a wand which looks like it's going to be tedious after 3 games and I'm happy to avoid. The Pro's yellow is ugly, but I do like its cabinet art and translite the most. And hopefully that yellow looks a little more flat-yellow in person like the movie poster it's based on: https://tinyurl.com/3p7yxt4x

If that's really the 60th Anniv. edition, then the LE should have been Goldfinger with gold trim. Oh well.
