All aboard for the James Bond 007 Hype train!

[yellowreggae]

Wow. I don't really know what to think about this. I mean, 500 of an absolutely unique (assuming they stick to only 500) new game based on a great licence is surely worth a decent price but the art is weak, the playfield is like a Stern Home Pinball or whatever they are called and we have no idea what in the way of assets will be included yet as far as I know. Are there any video or audio clips from any or all of the films featured?

Also what kind of rules depth are we looking at given this will 99% be in homes where that is quite important?

Just based on exclusivity, looks and playfield layout I struggle to see the value at £26k but maybe for bragging rights anything is ok but then again I havent seen many of the expensive versions of The Beatles around but then yet again that was the same game under the glass as the standard Gold edition. This is a unique KEITH ELWIN game...

60th buyers won't need to wait for all the cool bond music and LCD footage (pending licensor approvals.)
Bells and chimes will be ready on release

Mind blowing price, surely you'd be embarrassed to own one as people would know you'd paid so much for it?

To put the price into perspective, you could buy a pro version and an Aston Martin to pick it up with for less.

That pic is from a whoo Nellie not a bond
And yes you could t have that but then no display or is the display going to be just the one in the playfield
There is actually no screen footage in this so called promo video and only 3 images in the playfield screen no music either

Gary had some spare in a cupboard and knew just the place to dump them, be hilarious if they are the same set

Let’s face it, if you had a sh1t load of money you would just buy one. Drop in the ocean to a lot of people, I would buy them all if I could but I can’t.
Life goes on……….

 

[Supersprint]

So does the display have 4 holes in it where mechanical reels mount behind
Is it just digital reels programmed in the display
Or no display and mechanical reels
???

Definitely real reels, looks like a Perspex panel with windows for the reels and lamps for the player and ball in play, so no LCD at all in the back box.

Bloody right.

If I won the Euro Millions I'd have every machine ever made in a crass and uncouth neon palace of pinball.

And you'd definitely be invited to play one of my four Bond pins Mr Snuffleupagus.

@CHRIS B PINBALLS - you can not cut a screen like that and keep the other pixels going.
Screens work on an X-Y matrix and fed from top/bottom and left/right.
My guess is perspex which is lit by LEDs on the side with somekind of backing, and smaller OLED screens on the right approx 1.5 inch square.
Will explain in more detail when I see you tomorrow bud.

I thought the only screen was a small LCD in the playfield and the score reels are just surrounded by something made to look like an LCD screen?

Physical reels are very obvious in this video.

Real reels are kinda cool and the ball in play lights too.

 

[David_Vi]

The art is amongst the worst I've ever seen. It's like fan art made on Photoshop
It would look great the art was stylised and had that retro feel rather than photos.

you really think that showing film clips on a 6x4 LCD is going to work? Bit like the difference between watching a film at the cinema or on your phone.

Scoring from 0 to 9999....? Long game times expected?

 

[Big Phil]

It's a limited collectors edition. It's what you have in almost every product produced. Why should pinball be any different.

Exactly this is the Seth/Disney influence on Stern expect more of it in the future.

 

[Tucks]

Insider connected when there are only another 499 people to compete against in the world is pretty pointless.

if you look above score reels, there are 10,000, 20,000, etc. lights.

Ahhh, ok, reduces the bom I suppose

 

[Colywobbles]

I actually think the layout is cool and a departure from the norm however that cab art WTAF at least GnR CE had exclusive art on Radecal’s not the photoshop cut and paste albeit even GnR LEs is vastly better than this.

Also at 25k is 500 really a super low Ltd edt?
I guess only time will tell and see if distributors are left with any.
My guess 1 or 2 will sell in the UK and it will become a bargain purchase around 2025 at the rate pins are going up.

I’d have one if it was priced at a pro but at 25k you can have a super loaded Scooby and a tried and tested classic layout in TNA 1.5

If TNA 1.5 actually gets CE certified... which it currently isn't.

Who would have thought that x's & O's would get a sequel

 

[David_Vi]

If it's one real score reel, how do you have more than one player?

 

[DanSeldon]

Don't complicate things David, it's a bargain and I'm sure for that money they'll offer a notepad and pen, for an additional non refundable $99.00

Remember the players score and reset the reels to the correct score when it's that players turn.
