Quoted from doublestack:

Curious as to why it’s a 9mm bullet? Bond used a PPK.

Quoted from BrokenChair:

About to join the club with a pro for my location ;
Any other issues I should be made aware of that are not in the key posts or with the drop targets not dropping ?
Thank you

Quoted from Grantman:

Checked on my order for the Bond ball trap kit: "The ball trap kits are not available yet. We are waiting for our vendors to send them in to Stern. Once they are, your order will ship out to you."

Quoted from 1963BSARGS:

we’re you able to order one directly from stern?

Quoted from fish1975tx:

Hoping they add something similar to u-turn in fish tales when ball goes up henchmen and down villain ramp. Would also like to hear lots of one liner callouts from 007, Q, Villians, Henchmen, and other characters, in addition to the modes.

Quoted from HurryUpPinball:

I just finished up my second James Bond mod for Pro/Prem/LE pinball machines. This mod replaces the stock slingshot plastics and features a custom-made replica 9mm bullet, a laser cut insert, and a color-changing raised scope. This mod is available in my Pinside shop located here:

Quoted from Haymaker:

Yep should be 380 if I'm not mistaken.

Quoted from christr:

Did they explain what comes in the kit? Wondering what traps they're fixing with this.

Quoted from Grantman:

Gomez mentioned 2 or 3 spots on the Marco stream in early February, I believe. I don't recall what spots exactly.

Quoted from CashMoney:

What I don’t understand is what’s the difference between this 3 bank of drop targets and the one in DP? It’s literally the same mech but I never had any issues with bricking on my DP.
The only think I can think of is that they went with a different (cheaper) supplier for springs? Cost-cutting is the only plausible reason I can think of for why it suddenly changed from DP to 007…

Quoted from doublestack:

Yea just call or email and you will be put on a list for them.

Quoted from 1963BSARGS:

every time i do that some $&@!?@ named Eddie Yates refuses to put an order in for me. Thus far, stern support has never been helpful for me.
edit: Eddie Yates at stern specifically refused to put an order in on this kit for my Bond LE i bought nib.

Quoted from Grantman:

Got my first ball trap in this game, on top of the Bird One gate. I wonder if the ball trap kit they are (someday) sending out will fix this one.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I am of the firm belief that less is more when it comes to the "action button."
Games like POTC and Star Wars are much less fun because of their focus on using your non-existent 3rd hand to mash the action button.
My only "code" request right now is a very meager one:
WTF is up with the little baby puff "gunshot" sound during the opening gun barrel sequence. It sounds like a starter pistol! In the movies it sounds like a cannon. Seems very odd.
Please replace it with something much more over the top...should sound like a cannon or meth lab explosion.

Quoted from John1210:

I've never found the action button usage on potc or sw an issue. Certainly no more of an issue than using heat ray on my Godzilla.... wonder why you left that example out? Less likes perhaps? Action buttons like on b66 if done properly add so much more to gameplay such as shifting priority or multipliers ect on sw. Bring on more action button dynamics on bond I say.

Quoted from thekaiser82:

Here is the game with powder match coin door, shooter housing, and speaker panel. I don’t always like powder match speaker panels but I do like it on my Bond.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Yes I determine the content of all of my posts based on the likes I think I’ll get because I’m an idiot. I also wasn’t aware I supposed to review the button usage on every action button ever made, I thought it was ok to just throw a couple examples.
And no, i actually I don’t think the Godzilla use is annoying like it is on potc and Star Wars. Godzilla is a good example of spare usage of the button. It’s fine with me.
Bring on the likes !
Anyway hopefully they don’t turn bond into an action button shitshow like POTC. I would not “like” that.

Quoted from Sheev_Palpatine:

100 plays thought I should check my balls. They are a little scraped up. Then I started inspecting the field. I noticed the biggest metal on metal strike is on this guide by the right most drop target. Not really liking the look of that. So sorry for asking not sure if it has been made a key post? But what and or where can I find rubber to fix this issue?

Quoted from GRB1959:

A few Pinsiders have used the following rubber edge gasket material to protect this metal edge. You need to use double sided tape and be sure to use isopropyl alcohol to clean both the metal ball guide and the inside of the rubber gasket so that the double sided tape sticks properly.

Quoted from christr:

Anyone have any thoughts on how I can cut down on the glare of the artblades on the LE? You can't really see the underwater scene sticker at all. (actually my camera shows it better then it looks in real life.. lol ).
I'm thinking maybe more light below the playfield?

I bought this lighting kit for that diver area from Lermods https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1016-lermods/07671-james-bond-diver-fight-flasher
Looks really cool!

Quoted from Flash71:

It’s not available yet. What don’t you understand about that. He can’t put an order in for something that doesn’t exist.

Quoted from thekaiser82:

I had a buddy do it. Not sure what refinery would charge. I would reach out and ask. I think you will be happy.

Quoted from 1963BSARGS:

What don’t you understand? I emailed Stern, just like that person, providing my game serial number, and was told I was not allowed to place an order for the ball fix kit Gomez told everyone to order.
The other owners on here were given ORDER NUMBERS for a future shipment of the parts once they are in stock.
Now, what don’t you understand that I can further explain?

Quoted from PinMonk:

No, but stupid me, I should have documented the process when I did it.
There are 4 screws holding the target bank in, and 3 connectors (target optos, lights, reset coil). Remove those and pull the assembly out. When you unhook the springs from the target and the target assembly, you'll see there is a loop at each end of the spring to make those two connections. One end connects to the assembly (there's red paint on the Stern springs at this end) and the other end hooks to a notch in the drop target.
[quoted image]
When you cut off 20% of the spring at the target end, that end of the spring is now flat because you cut off the loop that was bent up to attach to the target notch. So you simply need to use pliers to bend the last loop at the end of the spring you just cut so that last loop is sticking up so it can be reconnected to the target notch.
[quoted image]
I was prepared to cut again if 20% didn't fix the bricking, but it turned out to be enough. The extra tension of the shortened spring is enough to drop the target just a bit faster so it can't grab the shelf again when bouncing back forward, so it falls like Alan Rickman/Hans Gruber in Die Hard, as it should.
[quoted image]
Don't forget to plug the reset coil back in or your targets won't come up. Yes, I forgot initially.
