All aboard for the James Bond 007 Hype train!

Having started a few months ago, at the beginning and now up to Skyfall, my origins view of Connery and Moore has changed. There are some good elements but overall, these films didn’t move me much other than to cringe.
Thunderball was almost a chore to watch.
GoldFinger is a classic but dated.
Diamonds are forever was almost a comedy.

But I have no money spare to buy NIB so am not the audience for this machine
You can blame John Glen's style of direction for that comedy element, which comes to it peak in the "double take pigeon" in moonraker.
 
Thank god it ain’t Venom
Gomez must have cracked the whip…
Glad also the teaser isn’t 009 or Brooke Bond
 
I'd genuinely prefer TNA 2.0 to a Bond Pinball.
Yeah, I’ve gotta say…

I mean, I loved View to A Kill as a kid, but that’s Moore and almost a decade later. I think that was due to my unhealthy interest in megalomaniacal geniuses and earthquakes, and that I wished I could snap a bloke’s neck with only my inner thighs (and here ends the deliberately flippant and provocative comment).

On a more serious note, where do they come up with these themes? It’s like someone does pop culture and Stern brings out the pin 50 years later. If this was an Elwin, I’d be up for the pin in spite of the theme, not because of it. Is it just that the licence is cheap?
 
^^ I would much rather A View to a Kill…
Imagine the Duran Duran soundtrack + Christopher Walken as Zorin, Mayday, Dolph Lundgren etc…. can’t remember his character 🙄
Take my money….
But we know it’s Connery….. Thunderball probably chosen because of the name ‘Ball’
which is actually something to do with an Atomic blast —- mushroom cloud I thinks ..
 
Guessing when they said to some that the next release won’t have a price increase that was when Venom was next, guess it’s easier to pull people in with Bond and a price increase than one with Venom.
The price has been going up every release, TS4 has set the bar high, and as Neil says forex hurts our market. LE is going to be 15k at least!
 
So to recap:

No game detail
No Art
No Price

but hurry now, get your limited edition.

Yeah, I'll wait. See which Ritchie game he started recycling, wait for game play and game details, decide which model is what I want and THEN order (if I want it). Won't be the LE with max 500 quids worth of superficial tat over the premium...
 
Need to see the price….
Love the theme but I need to see how much they are gonna pull our pants down
A few are saying $11,500-12k on an LE not sure what the prices where in the US on Rush so no idea if it’s a big jump or not. Obviously not confirmed either just a few predicting I think based on their last buy.
