James Bond 007 (60th LE)
Stern, 2023Quoted from ASAC_Schrader:Dunno. Spring is around the corner! Shiney new Porsche convertible popped up on my dealers lot. I was like fuck yeah I am in.
Don’t like dipping into the cash flow too deep, so Bond is OUT
If you don’t have the cash defiantly stay away from this one.
I believe I heard it on a pinball podcast today. Might have been The Pinball Show.
Quoted from SonOfaDiddly:someone I trust
Quoted from ASAC_Schrader:It was LOTS more than 20k. Point is I am tired of waiting and I just dumped a SHIT load of cash into a sweet sweet ride.
Spring is in the air![quoted image]
Is that a GT2 RS? Didn’t know they made a convertible version. Sweet and good for you. Smart for opting out of the Bond; no way it will fit in that car.

Such an odd place to flex. Not sure why you had to show us all a pic of the Porsche. It probably would have been easier just to say “hey, I have 300k everybody!” But good on you. I’ll have fun playing my little pinball.

That picture was a gorgeous GT2 RS (which I’m pretty sure are all sold out), and no, they don’t make them in a convertible. So yeah that guy is full of $hit.

Funny I had pictured you in something more like this

Did you see the No Fear for 15k

You spent all that cash on a single level Porsche? Dumb...

Troll, thats not a convertable. Your full of shit, still.
Quoted from Roostking:Troll, thats not a convertable. Your full of shit, still.
But spring is in the air… so, you know, spring.
Congrats on the Porsche, if true. A bad ass Porsche is my dream car and I'd certainly rather have one of those over a Bond 60th. Its just weird coming from the guy who was so crazily blindly supporting this game, talking about everyone being negative even though you were over in the cornerstone bond thread shitting on it constantly. I guess I'm just surprised you didn't stick with it. The good news is, that you might be able to get a 60th down the road for less money!

And now, let's examine the size of your penis...

Don’t be surprised. The same guy started the bond club and then bailed out at the last minute and tried to auction off the OP spot for the thread. Wasted 10 pages of info on the game and a new thread was started.
It’s just a sad troll account. Nothing more.
Looks to me like it's still for sale:

Also, imagine dropping >$400K on a car but then feeling like a $20K pin on top of it is "dipping into the cash flow too deep"

Now wondering how long before the account goes (mysteriously) ‘inactive’.

I thought the point was you’d had to have paid in full for a bond 60th so how do you get out without selling the pin, which is why there are the insinuations of bs…
Quoted from skink91:Obviously been a troll account the whole time. This guy has thrown more downvotes in this thread than most pinsiders do in a couple years. My question was merely ‘who’ is it?
By the crazy mood swings in posts here and on the cornerstone bond owners thread I thought it was maxamillion or whatever the guys name was that started the owners thread and then started trashing it
I'm just a normal guy that bought the Bond60th. No porsche here. Haven't yet got the notice of shipment.
Quoted from phoenixpin:I'm just a normal guy that bought the Bond60th. No porsche here. Haven't yet got the notice of shipment.
Same… I was one of the stooges that purchased direct from Stern (because wasn’t sure if I would get it otherwise). I thought maybe that would mean I would also get my notice earlier… perhaps foolishly.
Quoted from phoenixpin:I'm just a normal guy that bought the Bond60th. No porsche here. Haven't yet got the notice of shipment.
I had heard it was supposed to ship last Friday and yesterday but it didn’t. Lasted word from The Pinball Show is “shipping this week”… can’t wait!
Quoted from Haymaker:The good news is, that you might be able to get a 60th down the road for less money!
10k by Xmas 
Quoted from Rarehero:10k by Xmas
Nice dreams

Yea, complete bs.....$20k is meaningless on that level of auto, can't even get a scheduled service for that price....that was a very odd individual....guess he won't be starting the owners thread, lol...

Same...told " end of February" that was about it.....zero concerns it ships

I bought my Gomez LE direct from stern, it shipped squarely in the middle of the LEs. Though, with their production capacity, I'm guessing they kick out the 500 pretty quick together.
Quoted from RA77:60 Bond still available down under
This is a first for a SLE here.
NIB prices over stepped a reasonable mark.
A great deal of inventory will be laying around soon if the big players are not careful. [quoted image]
They are nearly all sold.
Same thing was said about BondLE in Aus and they are all sold.
The days of flipping for profit are over. That is why there are so many overpriced games for sale on gumtree.
Corporations are never going to listen to anyone on a forum. Stern cannot even meet demand for Godzilla. Until sales start going down, Stern will continue to be Stern.
We are headed for a recession. More war could be coming. Times are going to become very interesting.

Can I get you to go and remove all your personal attack down votes now you two faced, troll baiting <C word>!? Shit, this makes we want a Bond 60th now so bad just so I could rub your fake Porsche buying face in it. At least the deal I did yesterday was a reasonable and real $950 for an old school flatwood Gottlieb Bank a Ball. Now I’ll get all that retro flatwood pinball fun and not have to pay $2k for an oil change.

I… wow.
Quoted from skink91:I… wow.
In fairness, the behavior that Bublehead cited was rather obnoxious

I could not agree more with that… I was merely reacting to the level of the response.
Quoted from pinballaddicted:They are nearly all sold.
Please provide proof.
I'll contend that they're not nearly all sold, and that sales have stalled out. And my scuttlebutt is just as valid as yours.
11 days ago I was offered a Bond SLE from my archived, WTB ad that expired on January 6th.
Quoted from Mr68:Please back up your claim and provide proof.

Project Pinball is raffling a 3rd Bond 60th. I'd say that tells us they aren't close to all gone.

Sold to dealers perhaps, but not to consumers. Almost every distro has units of the 60th available for sale unclaimed.

Seriously……who cares? Right?
Unless you work for Stern or a distributor…….
“A great deal of inventory”…..
What does that even mean??
Do you have their internal inventory list? No
Do you know how many were actually built? No
Quoted from SonOfaDiddly:it's very weird how many people seemingly are rooting for this machine to somehow fail
Yet somehow not weird or surprising.
Quoted from SonOfaDiddly:it's very weird how many people seemingly are rooting for this machine to somehow fail
Not that weird. We don’t want Stern to make a habit of selling bare games with horrible art and no LCD assets for $20k. This game succeeds, that can become the norm.
keeping the world safe for pinball by hating on one game at a time
also please stop stating that the game has no assets as the smell when one talks out of theirr ass is unpleasant. literally no one knows if the game has any movie assets or not
Quoted from Rarehero:Not that weird. We don’t want Stern to make a habit of selling bare games with horrible art and no LCD assets for $20k. This game succeeds, that can become the norm.
That’s asinine.
This game was never purported to be anything other than exactly what it is… just because a bunch of you believe you are somehow owed the opportunity to dictate every aspect of how Stern runs its business (whether based on your conspiracy theories or entitlement to have the exact game you want at the price you want) doesn’t make you either correct or entitled to that.
