With the interest of keeping this forum for its intended spirit, I presume fun, I'll ad a competitive price in line with the internet search results for the same game. However, I do believe them to be rediculous, but who am I to decide on the market. Was £225,000 now (see reasons below) 2048485.50 Indian Rupees (Dogecoin or GBP equivelant accepted). As before, open to offers.
Please will people refrain from direct messages as it could be presumed that I am illiciting a blind auction and we know how pinballs sell on here don't we, all goes onto the original for sale thread and we are a kind and open cummunity each sharing our bids for our intended purchase.
The thing is, upon unboxing, I have decided this game is garbage, it is ugly to look at, there was a loose 6mm nut rattling around inside the box as soon as I opened it and tbh, it smelled like a cardboard box the instant I opened the box.
There were a few pops n crackles as I plugged it into the wall socket and to my dismay, (This Happened), and I wish I had not bothered simply wiring a UK plug onto it. I am sure I could have purchased a hack on the dark web.
If only I had not held such confidence in Stern when I questioned how I should convert to UK power supply, this would never have happened. I should have known the forum members already knew it all, Oh you guys crack me up. Jeez what do the yanks know anyway, they think they rule the world the cocky ********. Serves me right!
I'll be honest folks, I don't think I can live with it in the house. And so, I have just put it back into the box and righ before closing her up again, I cupped a good old rasping trump into my hand and dropped it righ in there to improve things for the next owner at least in the smell department, I think I retained a good 90% too
@Sgt GrizZ , it was a fair request sir, I am sorry you got abused for the lovely interest you showed in my machine before I did what I did to it, but fortunately, I did get that rear end shot for you right before the fire!
If you are still interested and require any more piccies, I'll unbox her once again and take any pictures you like. Better be quick mind, her indoors is back soon and she hates the smell of my trumps and believe me, the box is slowly weeping some nasty smells already, I hope the batteries haven't caused the fishy melting wire smell, on the other hand, if the batteries are not to blame, I better call the doctor, oh my days..
I'll be honest, I was a little drunken when I purchased her, and being a bit of a Bond fan I thought I'd love this game, you know, what with Keith Elwin being involved in the design, you've heard of him right, the greatest player of all time, yes, so what he can play well, what's he known for anyway, some pretty average top ten games of all time imo, pinside is not to be trusted, most of his top 10 entries are rubbish.
I should have known he was due a flop.
In fact it is proven, don't be fooled by the Pinside entry of #19 for Bonds unlimited varieties of 007, oh no, this hunk of junk is rated #77, can you believe it, KE decided to drop a poop on his own fan base by creating a slightly confusing version for the 60th LE, some of you might say it is a little misundersdood, but I'll promise you, I almost puked when I looked at the design the first time, in fact I used a nose clip just to be able to click my mouse as I bought it.
Uh Oh, wifeys back and her face looks like thunder, she walked straight past the pinball and yakked, luckily I hooked the dog lead up to it and rolled him in some fox poo right before I did, I'm trying to look flustered like I've just got in from a tough dog walk, pretty sure she'll not catch on that I've been lugging Elwins crap about. Is Elwin on here btw, I need to PM him about this thing, it is truly offensive that he did this to us.
But I know what he'll say, give it some time, it is a very much misunderstood game and that this one is a creeper, all of a sudden in 5 yrs time, mark my word, this thing will make TAF look unpopuler due to its classic design and its funometer powow! I dunno Elwin, I've lost faith.
And remember folks no DM's....... Never happens, all the best
I'd just like to add, I will be getting an old refurbished CPU from our local Saturday market outside Tesco where Bilal does some nifty electronics and so it will be in fully working and reliable condition for the new owner. Do not believe any rumours that I am in communication with Stern directly, what do you think I am if not a Yorkshire man!
