Quoted from gonzo73:

Buy! Buy!! BUY!!!
No no no !
Let's wait and see.. Franchi Art ?
Full assets to 3 or four Connery Films ?
Full Themes songs, not clips ?
Amazing fun layout ?
No giant $1000 price increase?
If these criteria are met, could be amazing.
Play it first, love it, then throw money at Gary's Vodka budget.

Quoted from gonzo73:

New Super Awesome Pinball Podcast, Franchi makes it crystal clear that he is not working with Stern, with no hope for future work.
Get ready for Licencer approved 60th anniversary Boring Artwork.
This news is completely awful, Stern has decided they're not gonna work with the best Artist in Pinball, and rely on Bland Cartoony artwork.
Big disappointment.

Quoted from PinMonk:

That naked, exposed ramp edge on the left side of the right ramp going into that shot is going to be hell on balls. Missed shots will go full steam into the exposed end of a metal ramp. That's some engineering there.

Quoted from onemilemore:

I still don't see how a shot to the left orbit is strong enough to make that steep hill/ramp. I almost wonder if that's somewhere else the jetpack can drop the ball down or something.

Quoted from curban:

Is it possible the jet pack arm does more than swing back and forth…maybe it extends further out into the playfield in which case the arm would need a little more structure.

Quoted from Chambahz:

So aside from hating on the artwork, the exposed ramp edges (clearly terrible engineering, according to you), and this atrocious arm that supports the jetpack Bond, you're all in right?

Quoted from bigehrl:

let's face it... all this bickering about art packages, toy mechanics, model differences, film choices. yet, in about 6 months time, 70% of y'all will own one of these, already have a life-size bond figurine on top of the backbox, installed a genuine Walther PPK as the shooter rod, and somehow found a way to illuminate the tilt bob with LED's. All while voting it into the top 10 of all time. So let's just cut past all the BS, and wait for the game to arrive!

Quoted from blueberryjohnson:

I'm not ashamed to stand with historically marginalized, persecuted, and attacked cultural minorities who have to fight like hell to simply be afforded basic respect and try to climb out of enormous holes of disadvantage and inequity. If that makes me woke, then so be it.
And to be clear, I'm referring to constantly outraged older straight white males who lose their shit over society electing to use different words. We must shield and protect these delicate porcelain snowflakes from evolving perspectives that do not align with their persistent worldviews at all costs.

Quoted from pinmister:

You guys made some good points-I agree with David on the cost pricing analysis.
Everyone seems goo goo over the 'Toys' and that is where I am not as impressed. The eject mech fits the theme but it is not interactive and is just a cheap die-cast car with a roof flap cut out. The jetpack(bond on a wand) fits the theme but will it really have any strategy. I do not believe it will go past tank because they would not want the ball dropping on top of other parts that could break. Even if you can control it with flippers-looks linear and may be just a flow killer. Scuba Diver under window fits the theme but again not interactive and mainly for show. The rocket is TBD with its interaction and how it is integrated with sounds, lighting, and video. I think for James Bond fans that want the 'show' the Premium/LE may be the route to go. For those who just want more flow and less show(for half the price)-the pro may be the way to go. I do like the dual ramps(probably my favorite part of this game), the combo possibilities and the depth of all the available modes and paths(may be a journey pin). I do love the teal color on LE(very sharp) but I do not like the side blades Stern chose. The LE with the underwater scene is screaming for some underwater scuba diver blades that would tie in better(holy nit picker).

Quoted from kool1:

I hope it's more exciting than it looks. I like it but not for $2700 over a Pro.

Quoted from pinballaddicted:

"Pinball Woke". That is hilarious..

Quoted from John_I:

I will not be watching this or any other stream until I get my game. It's already bought and paid for, so I want to discover all the ins and outs myself rather than watching someone else do it. After I've played 50 or so games, I'll watch Ray Davidson or someone playing it on a stream so I can learn how to score and progress though the game.

Quoted from ShooterMcD:

Loved the stream and hearing from Gomez. Game play, flow and shots were a “C+” for me.
Loved:
the left orbit/feed back to right flipper
Upper flipper combos
Lock shot
Meh:
Pops
Clunky shots into left scoop
No right orbit (may get coded to drop the top post)
Pops
Shots into Bird One un-inspiring
Pops

Quoted from iceman44:

It’s not him alone anymore. Mike V is a big part of the equation and I can’t think of a Gomez game that didn’t ultimately knock it out of the park.
The Lonnie knock, ancient history. Talking about today

Quoted from SLAMT1LT:

Relax and do what I do, just play them on location. I'm having just as much fun with my £1 game as anyone who owns the machine.

Quoted from NeilMcRae:

I just paid for my LE. I'm a bond nut so I was always going to be suckered by this game.
Prices for this LE are mental, its even worse here in the UK owing to the weak pound:
007 LE is £4000 more than Godzilla LE - its complete madness.
FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS MORE
This time last year a pro was around £6700 (!) HOW THE FUCK CAN 007 have gone up by more than HALF the price of a PRO from last year? It make ZERO sense.
I'm out on LE purchases for sure, but 007 premium is the same price as Godzilla LE -> WTF?!
Powercoat, speakers and art blades are £200 so its now a total no brainer.
also waiting for the hilarity that will be the 007 SLE price. I've had a defibrillator installed in my bank managers office.
Neil.
