Quoted from John_I:

One of my greatest childhood memories was getting to watch Goldfinger with my family when I was roughly ten years old (~1973). Even Speed Racer no longer seemed cool after seeing that car with the ejector seat, machine guns and other goodies. The one scene that has stuck with me to this day was when Bond met Pussy Galore on the plane. I was too young to fully understand at the time, but my mother rolled her eyes and my father laughed until he was red in the face. I don't think I ever saw him laugh harder. In fact I don't think he stopped laughing for weeks and even after that he was on a hair trigger to LOL any time you mentioned her name for decades.
Not that I didn't enjoy the Ten Commandments, Wizard of Oz, Planet of the Apes and other movies we watched as a family, but the Connery Bond movies were always the highlight of the family movie calendar!

Quoted from Darth_Chris:

Thanks again to Pinstein. It looks even better in real life.[quoted image]

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

Unfortunately, many don't apparently as it's common to see built up dried wax on posts, under plastics, etc.

While I can appreciate the merits of waxing, I find the required process to be time consuming, tedious, and unnecessary. Accordingly, I clean my modern games with a vacuum, Novus One and rubber cleaner, but never bother with wax. My Bond will be no different.
As you say though, to each his own.

Quoted from paradisedistro:

Does anyone know a good place to purchase this alternate translite? I have looked all over the place and cant find any. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Quoted from Stevemoerke:

Its now May. Any rumor to when the Bond Premiums are hitting the line? When do you think they will start shipping them?

Quoted from Nicholastree:

Yeah, that's about right. Pinside rankings have some over-rated machines (JP and Rush, IMO) and some under-rated games (BM66 and TSPP), but all in all it's a good beginning point for debate or shopping priorities. 007 probably shouldn't be ranked at all (only 190 reviews so far) because of the code delays but Stern doesn't exactly deserve to have it ranked very high right now (currently at #67).
Much to my surprise, 007 is already, incomplete code and all, the machine I play the most and most look forward to playing.
Speaking of code... It's Thursday! Two weeks since the last update. I imagine Stern would like to have a big update to talk about at Pinfest...
