James Bond 007 (60th LE)
Stern, 2023Quoted from JohnTTwo:I’m relatively new to pinside. How does one quantify whos a high end collector?
How many high end collectors would you guess there are?
Thanks
There is only one high end collector here and he will brag to all of us, over and over and over again
Quoted from Mr68:There is only one high end collector here and he will brag to all of us, over and over and over again
Let’s avoid the thread poll
$25k Fathom Mermaid vs $25k Bond 60th

Well good question. I don’t know the answer.
It’s “just a pinball machine” and they need 500 people to buy now
Quoted from MK6PIN:This one is " next up".....gonna break the seal this Friday regardless, lol....
Here's to ( hopefully) complaining about price and other stuff this week!!!...

If I still drank I’d get that base. I think I have 3 tops now
Quoted from Mr68:There is only one high end collector here and he will brag to all of us, over and over and over again
Well it won’t live up to Magic Girl standards most likely so why would you brag about it?
The high end flipper himself
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:Maybe they can tie the pops and slings all to the same node and make them all fire at once.
It does make them nice and loud
Quoted from TreyBo69:Let’s avoid the thread poll
$25k Fathom Mermaid vs $25k Bond 60th
Which one will have a cool hundred dollar contest?

Nobody cares. This is about Bond 60th. Thx

The ones I know rarely, if ever, post here....

Took me awhile, but finally got all the letters from bottles I consumed. Generally only touch the stuff on Friday evenings anymore.....next week could be an exception if I decide to do something stupid...
( could start as early as Tuesday, lol)..

Ha! What the heck is that Mark.
Keep your wits about you brother but it will be hard to avoid the Bond FOMO.
Man I love this theme!
Party begins early on Tuesday.
Quoted from thekaiser82:It’s a rite of passage. You have to take a video burning an LE in your backyard to show just how little money means to you.
LMFBO
Quoted from friscopinball:Hmmmm, 60th SLE direct from Stern with no price.
[quoted image][quoted image]
So the $39.99 I spent on IC for exclusive access to nothing maybe grants me a spot to possibly get an overpriced pin? If this thing is $15k or under I would probably buy if I actually felt like I got an exclusive spot direct from stern and they shipped immediately.
I know I’m somewhat newer to pinball but man are there some scary times ahead and I fear stern and other companies need to stay in their lane or offer a fuck ton of bang for a fuck ton of fun. I love they are incorporating the whole series It just feels off. Pricing, timing, all the hype for this king Elwin person.
Sorry if this is more of jumbled rant. Brain is a little fried. Haha
Quoted from thekaiser82:I love my Beatles. I understand the outrage over the platinum and diamond models, but the gold is a great game for the price.
I’ve avoided watching any videos or even playing Beatles because I want to get a great package deal one day when I go to buy a few pins from someone and there’s just a dusty one sitting there in the box. I feel like Beatles is such a cool theme that should cross every generation
Quoted from Grantman:I just had another dealer with a Thunderball LE available contact me yesterday. It appears that people are still dropping out when it's time to actually pay for/pick up the game. If the 60th anniversary game costs twice as much, I don't see how they are going to sell 500 of them.
Different buyers. Different game.
Quoted from iceman44:Ha! What the heck is that Mark.

Someone gave it to me several years back....before and after shots, lol

They are learning what some people are willing to spend on their home collection
I have no doubt in my mind home collections are better than the vast majority of routed pins (not based on number of plays, just what version and mods) and also believe that home collections are better than most small bar/small arcade businesses
Quoted from cooked71:I heard that if Iceman buys both Bond games, all pops in both games fire together from one common node board.
What if the 60th has no pops like scooby doo?
Quoted from MK6PIN:Someone gave it to me several years back....before and after shots, lol[quoted image][quoted image]
Sweet Mama that’s some presentation there

I have swapped over to Custom Tako Glass pieces for my special medicine. Hahaha but I may pour myself a small glass and make my wife drink it if I do the same stupid thing you’re doing. Hahaha
Quoted from gandamack:OK. I am interested to see what the playfield design will look like. Is Keith E. not designing a Bond Pro and Premium also....since this is a different Bond machine? (and probably will be superior)
You need to get caught up on all things Bond pinball.
Short answer. Yes.

Does this come with different " toppers" that you collect with the bottles?
Quoted from Mr68:There is only one high end collector here and he will brag to all of us, over and over and over again
You? I mean, we all know you are in on most every game, LE. Not a bad thing of course...Fuck i wish i could be accused of being a stupid high end collector!!!!
Also, roids. Someone please accuse me of taking roids!
Quoted from Roostking:Does this come with different " toppers" that you collect with the bottles?
Yea...different " grades" of the stuff, and each cork has a letter at the back of the horse....
Luck of the draw on which one is on the bottle
20221228_210417 (resized).jpgQuoted from Kkoss24:So are the high rollers that spend 30k on a pin the same dudes that build custom $30 mil homes only to find that buyers have them by the short and curlys when they eventually have to sell it ?
I would think that swatch of sofa fabric in Elvira's House of Horrors would be the exception to that rule. lol
Quoted from Kkoss24:Sweet Mama that’s some presentation there
Developed a taste for it, lol....

Humble brag with the (I think) alien pin in the background. Love it. I won’t lie. I’m jealous
Quoted from GoldenBeard:Humble brag with the (I think) alien pin in the background. Love it. I won’t lie. I’m jealous
And Mark dropped one of the greatest mods ever with the Alien apron.
Not to divert from Bond but since he posted the pic on that Alien had to give props
Quoted from PinPickle:Sorry haven’t been following. District said to expect $25k
Too low. I won’t pay a dime under $30k for one.
Quoted from thekaiser82:Too low. I won’t pay a dime under $30k for one.
$35k, or why bother? It needs to be an event!

Blanton’s is the shit. I liked it better when nobody cared about it though. Haha.
Quoted from PinMonk:$35k, or why bother? It needs to be an event!
He is being sarcastic
Quoted from PinMonk:$35k, or why bother? It needs to be an event!
If there isn’t a chance divorce papers will be served then what’s the point?? Then we can start a whole new thread and poll tracking how many marriages Stern has ruined.
It seems like Stern is going to sell some direct, which seems like that means they have to put up an official MSRP? I can't imagine they'd sell direct with a "call for pricing"
Quoted from chuckwurt:Blanton’s is the shit. I liked it better when nobody cared about it though. Haha.
Agreed...we can thank John Wick for that!!
Quoted from PinMonk:$35k, or why bother? It needs to be an event!
For $35k it better come with a little vial with a gram of Sean Connery's ashes and a coupon for a Hooters girl for an hour to snort it off of.
