Quoted from insight75:I'm so proud of myself for not doing something insanely stupid this morning. I'm gonna go tell the wife. She will be so proud.
Already did the same! LOL!
Quoted from metallik:Service menu. Hard to navigate settings using 4 score reels.
But, if its main purpose is to be a service menu, it sure as hell doesn’t need to be an ugly framed display smack dab in the middle of the playfield. Put a smaller sized display in a corner on the apron or hide the display inside of the back box or elsewhere in the cabinet.
I don’t get the mechanical score reels. If they were ever going to make sense, they needed to be implemented like they were with Whoa Nellie, in a custom old-style cabinet, and with a game based on the early Sean Connery films, not sloppily shoved into a modern day LCD cabinet that features the latest Daniel Craig films.
Artistically, The Beatles is a far better game. Franchi’s art is gorgeous. The LCD animations are beautifully done and scream retro. I’ve never once looked at The Beatles and thought it was lacking because it didn’t have mechanical score reels.
I’ve been on the list for a Bond SLE for years. Bond is a dream theme for me. Price isn’t a concern. Sadly, though, this game ended up being a hard pass for me.
Quoted from MK6PIN:We … didn't believe a Bond SLE was anywhere near offical just a year ago, muchless " years".
Is a Back to the Future game anywhere near official? No? How many are already on lists for one?
Many years ago I told my distributor that IF a new Bond came along I was in on an LE and that IF an SLE should happen, I was in on it. Hence, I was down for an SLE a long time ago. They were quick to contact me once the 60th became a reality.

Quoted from Bublehead:It’s like saying “hey, GM, sell me that new Corvette. Boy it looks nice. Can I see you start it up and let me test drive it? what? No? Well, ok, then, take my money…”
Errr, ahhh, new C8 buyers DID cough up their money in advance without test drives. Although they did get to see Jay Leno plop himself down into one for a spin.

Quoted from KingVidiot:This James Bond 60th watch is 10k.
Your photo is of the 2020 Bond Seamaster that retails for $9,500. The Bond 60th Seamaster retails for $7,900… but good luck finding a new one on the secondary market for under $20K.

Quoted from KingVidiot:For the mere price of 2 glorified movie bracelets, I could have an SLE pinball machine designed by Keith Elwin?
I’d settle for just one of the glorified movie bracelets.
