Most memorable Bond moment for me, some cool ass shit when your six years old seeing it for the first time.

Could be better than Deadpool but doubt any pin in the near future will top Godzilla. Elwin will have a challenge topping it much less any other designer.

I was told that Stern didn't make these kind of mistakes and that only amateur companies like Spooky did

If they made a version with a topper, that would make all the people waiting on previous game toppers heads explode lol.

Was there any mention of how far the along the code is at launch?

It's knocking the ball into stand up targets around it from what I can see.

Hey why not $40K? Plenty of stupid money in this hobby, sure they can throw in some uneven speckled powdercoat like EHOH 40th

$6K difference between pro and LE. Think I would be happy spending that difference on another game and call it good.

$700

Has Stern made a statement on when games will be hitting the line or is this still in some licensing delay with no definite start date yet?

I guess the first opportunity for some gameplay will be some shaky phone video of someone chimp flipping at the upcoming events next week/weekend. Copy and pasted from Knapp Arcade below:

Fittingly, the new James Bond 007 pinball machines will be on show for the first time to media and public in London. On September 26th the games will be on display and available to play as part of the Bond-themed Christie’s Late, a public event celebrating the forthcoming Christie’s Sixty Years of James Bond Charity Auction. Shortly after, they will be a part of the James Bond at 60 weekend at the British Film Institute on the South Bank, September 30th-October 2nd.

They won't even hit the line until November lol. Is this the first time games weren't ready to ship like a week after the reveal for Stern?

So if you want a pro and are not an operator you have to wait until after release of next cornerstone basically because of 60th edition money grab will be on the line instead of the pro. Brilliant!!!

You have the 60th edition on the line normally when the pros would be and then they have the cornerstone release at the end of the year so not very much of a window to get consumer pros made after the initial run for operators.

Rush and Bond would only be two cornerstones this year, supposed to be three unless they announced skipping another one due to delays that I missed.

That spinner sound does not jive with the theme.

Those are all mechs, nothing innovative and used frequently in other games but mechs all the same.

I wouldn't consider it one if it had no solenoid, motor or magnet involved but then again is the Jeep on JP a mech? I guess it's a more simplified one that relies on kinetic energy from ball hitting it to work.

You could let the comments push you away from the hobby but that would be letting the actions of a few control you. I just watched some of the scenes and they are shocking but in the end it's just a movie and people in a hype club thread don't want to be reminded of the few flaws that the movies had.

This thread...

Yep...thread still fucked.

Nothing is normal about this game launch so I wouldn't count on it.

Looks like the Bird One is just reactive and has no independent movement. Would have been a cool effect at the start of the multiball if it did.

Well getting a new game is kind of exciting so telling people to wait upwards of three years is laughable, no excuse for code to be at .57 at this stage in roll out but incomplete code at release is becoming the norm with multiple companies at this point.

It's just plain getting less for more money. Rocket had a coil at one point but they yanked that also, nothing odd about it cause Stern is a business. Have seen plenty of people commenting that they shouldn't be buying the game because of the price but are anyway, nothing will change until they vote with their wallet.

So tell me, what is the cheapest node board they would have had to add to make the pops fire independently?

Well you can look at it as whining or telling buyers the truth of what they're getting for more money.

Man what kind of world do we live in now when we have to deal with "pinball threats"...sheesh.

I would more consider it spitting into the wind or messing around with Jim with my actions

But enough of this two pops one master fuckery...bring on the Bond hype!!!

Possible but big difference in theme and how wide of an audience they both attract. ST speaks to all ages where Bond is mainly older men.

Too late, one was started yesterday.

I'm sure the mods can change the subforum category, it was the first club thread created so it gets to remain.

I really could give two shits which one the mods pick to remain, just going by their past actions.
