The opportunity to own the most rare Elwin game ever is enough. All will sell. Quickly. And expensively.

There were/are thousands of BM and EHOH premiums. You want to play the game, you don’t need the LE or SLE.

There are only 500 of this one. Period.

All will sell quickly.

Yes!

I love the Beatles. But my vote -- not a ramp.

Bond 60 will look good next to Beatles if they are the same size cab

who is asking 35?

There is zero chance they are advertised, much less sold, at 35

Me too. I’m tired of waiting for both games. Foolishness.

To me, that is the worst

It won't be enough to pay 20++ to get the game. Still need Stern insider connect to get all of the content for the game. Ugh.

Stern probably believes, reasonably, that 99% of the appeal is Elwin. Wouldn't work with any other desiner.

Keep us posted on this. I am curious whether you get it sold for 24k, which I would have thought was impossible. GLWTS.

Hang in there.

I feel like an Elwin masterpiece is near

1352 posts

Man, I thought we'd have at least one additional pic by now.

Yes!!!!!!

Only took 1439 posts to get a piece of legit news about this game.

So, how many are in on this game 100%?

Whatever it final form based on the single (likely quite accurate) picture that leaked, whatever its likely cost?

Agreed, but every other LE has been accompanied by an endless number of pros and pres.

Very first post. Containing 99% of everything we know about the game today.

I've seen no evidence they will be 40. Or 30. Or necessarily 20-plus.

I get it, all we can do is speculate, but what information suggests the game will be priced at nearly this range?

So, this is in the category of literally nothing else to talk about until January 3

Am I the only one who is disappointed that the SLE backglass will apparently use the same Connery art as the LE? If the game is 30k, we couldn't get literally one new/different picture of connery for the blackglass?

I know, stupid first world problems.

But still....

So, I've posted here from time to time, and understand the difference between the LE and new one next week. But clarification is always appreciated.

In the leaked photo, upper left corner of the blackglass, same Connery art in the SLE as the LE.

I thought, “wow, 71 new posts”

“Finally another leaked pic!!!”

I doubt the SLE will have modes/code/video available solely to those who also bought (or later buy) an LE. How would that even be applied/enforced?

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve checked this thread the game would be paid for.

Iceman -- are you in?

Flyer says the LCD is used to "learn assignments"

Is there a chance there are literally no movie assets in this one??

What evidence is there that this game has any movie assets at all?

Why did Gomez say jaws is in this game for example?

I would’ve been in, if this had even the barest movie assets on the LCD.

The flyer says nothing about movie assets on the LCD. Says the LCD gives assignments. Isn't this probably conclusive that there are zero movie clips? Never will be movie clips? And fine, I concede some folks on this thread don't care about that. For 20K I care about it and, in fact, figured that's why the game would be 20k or more.

Is there any ambiguity here?

No video clips and no art blades.

True, and we could also play pinball without any LCD screens. Or flippers.

Maybe, just maybe, this game is like every other purchase of a good or service in the history of the world.

You (i) have 20k in your budget and (ii) reasonably think it will bring at least 20k of pleasure to look at or play. Or one of these two elements is missing and its a pass.

So complicated.

I feel your pain. If there even one video clip, wouldn't it be in the flyer? Flyer says the screens "gives assignments."

Correct. I one of the 50 interviews over the last four months, someone should have simply confirmed that are zero movie assets on the screen. What you see on the backless and on the playfield, that's it and that all. Music (or no music) should have been clarified too.

You are 100% in the right. The issue isn't whether the game has movie clips or not. The issue is whether clarity was provided by the company.

In one of the interviews, or maybe the reveal, Gomez smiles broadly and laughs, "Oh yeah! Jaws is in there!! How could we do a Bond pin without Jaws?"

Why would anyone assume that this reasonably communicated there would be a tiny cut and paste on the playfield?

And even today everything is intentionally vague. One video from CES... of the topper ?!?

That's my point Yancy. The game was seen four months ago. The official reveal is done. Dozens of interviews.

Why would we need to "assume" anything?

Its probably a great game without video. The point is that its BS that everything was clearly meant to be intentionally vague: from the interviews, to the sizzle reel to the flyer.

Just market it accurately.

"Buy Gomez bond for music and video and modern experience."

"Buy Elwin without music and video for old school experience."

Why is that so controversial?

Agree

Would have MUCH rather seen this screen on the apron like Fathom

I can't believe we have one video and the player never hit the upper left horseshoe. Not even close. Maybe hit the spinning hat once.

is the video still posted here

Why in the world would the video be taken down? Licensor approval? There is nothing to approve.

Can’t wait to see topper exclusive to 60th, so that the toppers get flipped for 5k.

The most enjoyable thing about this thread is evaluating whether it really should be "Stern has" or "Stern have"

They would be shocked pinball is still produced in 2023

This is the weirdest game of all time. As such, I am officially in.

The figure 8 shot in Bond 60 isn't much different from the Colossus team-up shot in Deadpool.

Looks like KE borrowed from GG.

I hope stern only gets a couple hundred out and this becomes the new BBB. Will be interesting to revisit the agony of hundreds of outraged hobbyists.

JJP -- Immediately clear exactly what was in (and not in) TS4.

Stern -- GG: "Jaws? Oh yeah!! He's in there"

There's a lot of enjoyment turning them all on, even if not playing. Pop culture art.

"It depends on what the definition of 'is' is"

-Erik Gilly

So -- every single time for the rest of history, where Stern uses the word "exclusive," we will now need to ask:

1. Is Stern intending that the term be defined the same way the entire world has defined the word, since the time of its first use?

2. Or is Stern intending that the word should have its own special meaning, that is, oddly, 180 degrees opposite?

Some good news though

When Stern uses the word non-exclusive to define a game's feature, it may very well mean the game is the only model to include said feature.

I thought, "great, 12 minutes of 60 gameplay.

Nope, hiding this game for as long as possible. I bet it doesn't stream until its in an owner's house.

So funny listening to Sharpe describe Bond 60

"I mean look at it. Its got four legs. Its got a start button. Its got a shooter with a spring."

Oh man. Just when I thought this group wore itself out. And was saving up energy to effin RAGE when the game starts to ship.

Here we go again.

Tell him Vitty!

There is zero evidence this game will have movie clips. Abs zero.

If there were movie clips, that would have been all over the flyer. Biggest selling point.

Sure, lots of assets. All omitted from the flyer.

they abs will not stream before shipping.

5635 posts

why am i unable to stop checking this thread?

Agree. A stream would only confirm many of our worst fears. I predict the first stream won't be from a professional. It will be a buyer.

I get fooled. Every. Single. Time.

I see 28 new posts in less than an hour. "Must be new pics or video!!," I say to myself.

This thread is like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown.

See you again in 45 minutes.

Odd timing to give up. When they literally are going on the line now.

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.

No video. Virtually no music. They said everything you need to know about the game in the flyer. If ANY of that content was present, it would have been in the flyer.

I still like and want the game.

But I wish I had a dollar for every post wondering aloud how much music and video we are getting. And I truly wish we were getting it. All of it. Shirley Bassey singing Goldfinger. Video of Jaws sky diving into a circus test. WE ARE GETTING NONE OF IT.

But I bet it will shoot as good as any single level game ever made. And thats going to have to be enough for 20k or 17.5k etc.

Except the guy who saved his money so he could buy a 350k porsche. Hes the real winner in this thread.

I’m excited about the game with guaranteed zero video assets and virtually no music assets.

53 new posts in a matter of hours

and literally nothing in the way of photos or video of the game

same old thread. ill miss it one day....

Heresy.....

So, I've followed this line of dialogue through many of the 6400 posts.

What evidence -- of any kind -- exists to suggest the game will have more than zero film assets?

The brain I possess told me the game was worth 9.5

Yet, here I eagerly wait for the stream and my (no assets) game...... :/

All questions answered tonight.

Its going to be bittersweet saying goodbye to this thread, with its five months of anguish and self-loathing.

Luckily I'm sure most of you will follow to the owners thread, whether you buy one or not. As we know, you won't need to buy one, to have the right to bash all the owners for another year over the game's price.

If there are still shots, we should declare victory

Cmon assets!!!!

Wow

high energy.....

One chance to make a good first impression

same photos as on the playfield

Might prove to be the best single level shooter of all time. If that proves correct, it will stay in my basement for a while.

Good to see this one keeps going.

I expected a mass migration to start bashing foo fighters. Anguish in indefinite supply.

Can’t wait for mine tomorrow !!

Checking in on the old hype threat. This game is amazing. incredibly addictive. Hope everyone gets to play it soon!
