Highlights

- The James Bond game is based on Sean Connery Bond era, likely a mashup of multiple Connery films including Goldfinger and Thunderball
- George Gomez is the designer; Steve Ritchie started the design but left for Jersey Jack before whitewood was complete, so Gomez started from scratch
- Christopher Franchi will not be involved in James Bond artwork despite previous patching up with Stern
- Stern may announce another round of price increases with this Bond release, potentially making it one of the most expensive Stern cornerstones
- Stern will offer limited LE units for sale directly on SternPinball.com exclusively to Stern All Access Club members ($40/year subscription)
- James Bond will first appear publicly at IAPA European Trade Show in London September 12-15, then at Chicago Pinball Expo October 20-23
- George Gomez referenced a scuba diver action figure as part of the game, suggesting underwater sequences related to Thunderball
- George Gomez stated the game will include the Aston Martin DB5 'complete with ejector seat'
- Pinball Brothers Queen machine will not appear at Super Awesome Tailgate Party on September 24 due to supply chain and production delays
Notable quotes
“There's another surprise related to James Bond...I did the cornerstones and then stay tuned. Big surprise.”
“It's very dear to me, very much like Batman 66 was...my favorite Bond is Sean Connery and his favorite Bond car is the Aston Martin DB5...no surprise, you're going to see it in the game, complete with ejector seat.”
“Just shoveling stuff in every day, but it's just not going as fast as I'd like.”
“Shaking soon”
“Do we have something else coming out? Do we have another trim level? Is there a Super LE about to come out?”
“Well, I've got another new game coming in...Fathom Revisited yes Mermaid Edition”
“I've had Iron Maiden forever. It's the oldest one. You wanted it to be Archer anyway.”
“Why is this company seemingly more concerned in trying to associate themselves with a failed game and designer from five years ago versus the future of American Pinball?”
“Don't piss off the whales.”
“If you have Scrooge McDuck bins of money...and you have one of your hallmark top three themes of all time, don't you think that somehow, somewhere...you're included somehow.”
