Quoted from Aussiepinwiz:What if ...
Stern has allowed all this speculation and hype to reach a point where Pinsiders think it's going to be a super expensive game which will never sell 500 units, and then announce at the 'reveal' that it will be the same price as the Bond LE (with Bond LE buyers having first option to buy)? If so, 500 units will sell out within a day.
But, hang on a second ... didn't most Pinsiders think Stern would never sell 1964 units of expensive Beatles ... but they did eventually. It took a few years, but they sold them. Maybe Stern will be prepared to take a few years to sell the 500 units at a super expensive price after all?
Ah! I don't know. Come on Stern! Make the reveal!
Did they actually ever sell all 1964 Beatles? I thought Stern just stopped producing them when people stopped buying them.
Quoted from derekmudd:Did they actually ever sell all 1964 Beatles? I thought Stern just stopped producing them when people stopped buying them.
Yeah, I don't believe they made it to 1964, because the Diamonds and Platinums they were bundling 7 golds with in every 10 pack to force-sell the golds were gone by 1000. 1200 or 1300? Sure. 1964? Mmmm...
Quoted from Svente69:I think is coming this year
Why release something in the last week before Xmas?
Quoted from cait001:Why release something in the last week before Xmas?
Because people spend lots of money around Christmas time.. if Stern release this week and we have been drinking bourbon.. instant buy.. Early next year, more than likely pass.

Very nice. Enjoy!
I'm guessing they show it off at CES in Vegas, first weekend of January. Maybe a teaser before then?
It’s a given that this will shoot fantastic imo .Question to me is how far are they going to go with code for a small run of pins ,but that small run will equal it’s number Xs 3 or 4 with the price I’m guessing .Am I correct in thinking this way ? Meaning there’s probably as much labor/parts in this than the pro/prem so if the price is 4 fold , it’s making the $$ of a 2000 pin run of the other .

I’d think the parts (unless you think ramps are everything) will be at/above LEs (no art blades but they’ll come with shooter, side armor, topper the way Gomez made it sound and I would assume shaker and hd glass. They’ll be expensive, but a larger percentage than normal goes to dealers… that said, I hope they put their normal resources into code even though it’s a small run.

Makes sense .I would only be in the mix if I sold 2 pins so I doubt Im going to see what I need to at reveal .It’s funny ,I’d bet 80% of pinheads will never get a chance to flip this one unless stern brings one to shows .If it sells out I doubt it .

No ,ramps are cheap , I’m thinking along the lines of toppers are mostly plastic with some lights , powder coating (I really wonder who picks they’re colors ) in bulk $200 each ? Blades are probably $30 for them .As far as the bling of a LE goes ,there’s not much there .All I know is after joining a league and discovering I like EMs and Love TNA I’d be down with a “street level” pin just hoping they do one down the road as a cornerstone at normal (lmao I said normal ) prices .
Unlikely any logic can ever be applied to this one, pricewise.
Personally, kinda sucks they couldn't at least reveal the thing before years end given it was " announced" 3 months ago....realistically, doubtful they could care less....just a game.

I really believe the Bond LEs haven’t sold through as well and they are giving Distros time to lock down that money, getting them delivered, and then the “switchers” don’t have a choice.
My Bond LE arrives tomorrow. My friend received his last weekend. Big potential, barren code, ala BM66
Quoted from cait001:Why release something in the last week before Xmas?
Only reason I can think of is maybe they're contractually obligated to launch it during the 60th anniversary year.

Distro not making me choose until the 60th is revealed....Im in no hurry ( also a clue that the LE's are certainly not all sold out in owners hands yet)

Good point Mark!
Gomez said the 60th was gonna be revealed “very soon” after the LE reveal. Then he said “maybe the next week” after the stream they did.
So who knows? Gomez doesn’t even know! Ha

Quoted from cooked71:lol. Lets face it - all pinball parts are cheap. But as they say, a pinball machine is worth more than the sum of its parts.
Yep

I think they do know Doug....just stalling for whatever reason....doesn't stop the bourbon from flowing on Friday...their cadence isnt going to alter mine...

I think as well, that we will get information next week……
Quoted from guitarded:Is the machine still a thing?
Less by the day PinBud....Happy Holidays!!
How is this for sale post not a scam?
No one has seen the table yet, let alone has possession of one.

He’s confused - doesn’t know his LE from his SLE.
What's up fellas! Our lonely crew of Bond SLE watchers. Kind of sad
It's been a great holidays thus far, haven't opened up the BONDLE yet, gotta wait for another code drop.
Brought my whole office on a RCL cruise from the 11th-18th. I think as a group we broke the bank with max usage of our "drink packages". RCL came out on the losing end of that one.
The party has continued and i'm looking forward to just relaxing with some new Bond news next week! Let's go!

Why do you think we care about any of this?
Is this a “what I did on my winter break” thread?
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Is this a “what I did on my winter break” thread?
On my winter break, I was frozen in my home, the airlines cancelled our tickets to visit family during Christmas, and my wife had to pick up shifts at the hospital (including the 25th). So I watched drunk men yell at each other online. I put on a funny Santa hat to make it feel more festive.
60th at CES is my current stab in the dark

" Game On" or not I suppose, lol....this kind of release= machine is going to be expensive as hell imho....hoping Im wrong
Quoted from TreyBo69:Hey my stab in the dark was right!
Nailed it dude !

I know distributors are already telling people they don't know the cost but to expect EHOH40th like pricing. So probably 20-25k.

Congrats!! My consistent Tuesday bumps would have been right.....eventually, lol..

It's not for you and your troll buddies, ignore it. For my bourbon drinking friends.
Since there is no news from Stern, that's exactly what it is. Take your Stern knee pads off Leeveee.
Now i'm going to take a dump
