Quoted from Mrsiyufy:

Ejector seat gear shifter might be more appropriate for a shooter. You could even tie the eject button into the lockdown bar button.

Quoted from SkyKing2301:

The chintzy one that comes with the game? Not exactly, no. There is a bulb inside the tank that flashes (simultaneously with the bulb in front) when the stand-up target is hit. Some of that light is visible around the target in the hood (but not through the mouth), but honestly I never even noticed it until I took it apart and found the bulb in there!

Quoted from pinballjah:

Anyone good with Photoshop interested in assisting with designing a new translite for the JB Pro? I can get the translites printed no problem, just need help with creating the Photoshop file. Was thinking of having the main 007 spinning logo in the middle, and adding some images from the Connery films. Kind of like this photo but replace some of the other Bond segments with Connery images. Will send you a free translite once we are done. PM me if willing to assist. Cheers.[quoted image]

Quoted from docquest:

Front mouth area of the Prem/LE tank does light up. The led behind the mouth is bright enough that it lights up.

Quoted from docquest:

Activate Led #100 in diagnostics and you can see it flash. Not quite centered on the mouth decal but it does light up.

Posted over in the owner's thread too, but this definitely belongs here since I teased this wayyyy back in Post #11 of this thread!
Finally! Rocket City Pinball's interactive Dragon Tank scene is up for pre-order. (Pre-order is to manage demand and accommodate my day job & everyday-life schedules, so I appreciate everyone's patience. Those with Red Barchetta mods know it took a while to get all the orders filled, but they were worth the wait and so is this!)

All the details are in the listing but here are the highlights:
- Since the dragon tank scene in the movie takes place in a marshy area, my tank mount includes ground covering & vegetation to better represent the film -- instead of just being a toy sitting atop a piece of artwork/plastic. It's amazing how much more realistic it looks in an actual scene!
- Installation kit includes replacement hardware to better blend into the scene (gold screws/washers in lieu of the OEM silver ones)
- The tank has tiny LEDs for the 'eyes' which are powered off the GI
- The tank's mouth has a light strip to represent the fire belched forth by its flamesthrowers. (Sorry I couldn't put real flamethrowers on it -- didn't want to ruin your machine!) The mouth lights up when the stand-up target is hit (which is also when it appears on the screen to shoot flames)!
- Installation kit includes two connector/splitter sets to access these power sources, and requires no electrical work aside from separating and snapping connectors together. No soldering is required, and it's 100% removable with no permanent modification to the game.
Sure takes a lot less time to install than it does to build it, that's for sure! Installation only takes six minutes -- DIY installation video:

Final notes: Now that I've put one in a game (and I'm my own worst critic), I've decided there's a small section on the mount that I'm going to remove from the design. I've included a photo in the listing to show what I mean, but it's a small section in the back behind the tank. Not really visible from the player's perspective anyway, but just for cleanliness I'm going to fix that for production units.
Also, big thanks and shout-out to The Pinball Lounge in Oviedo, Florida (inside the Oviedo Bowling Center). The owners, Kurt and Ed, are amazing humans and I'm glad to call them my friends. Kurt has a Premium and a Pro (the latter of which he's about to put on location elsewhere) and was kind enough to allow me to shoot my DIY video with it. Check them out if you're ever in the area -- they have TONS of games from different eras, always in top working condition, they host tournaments and events (just hosted the state championships this weekend, and my favorite event is always Flip-Out Friday), and they have great food and drink too!

Love the new translight and side artwork, so much better!

Quoted from J85M:

Yeah not feeling that building Diddy, I don’t view the ramps a void though so that might be why it doesn’t fit visually in my eyes.

Quoted from PoMC:

Does the tank light up like that in the movie?

Quoted from PoMC:

If you'd like to change the Game Over music and have Pinball Browser:
1 Minutes 46 seconds - replace the first of the three identical entries and this will play at game over instead of the normal Bond theme you just heard eight times while playing.
Here's video of the new attract mode of the movies posters. If anyone wants a copy of this code to have something new until Stern drops an update, just let me know. Pro only.

Quoted from PoMC:

The end music plays for about 1:25. So you do have a decent amount of time to work with for game over music. Watch my video, game over music start at exactly 1:00 and fades out at 2:25.
Yeah if you love techno, goddamn you've got theme songs remix options.
I'm going to try locating the tracks for the various villain/henchmen modes. Perhaps the Goldfinger mode will work with a Goldfinger track?
Many of the mode music so far is either very soft or kinda annoying. I at least want to now focus on identifying those mode tracks and wait for the next update to see what they do. Does feel like much of the music is placeholder.

Quoted from J85M:

Left plastic above the scuba scoop

Quoted from SkyKing2301:

Personally, I was most surprised by the white. It made the MI6 letters (and bumper bodies) really pop, considering there's not much other white in the game!
Yellow is still my favorite, personally, but there are lots of options for everyone!

Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:

Anyone buy the Stern armor for Bond? I went to install yesterday, and the holes do not align with existing ones on the cabinet. Every other set I've purchased from Stern (4 other machines) the holes have always aligned. Not sure of the move is to blame, but have have had lots of QC issues with all sorts of stern products over the past several weeks.
