Best modern Stern since Godzilla. Bee, keep doing pinball content. I know the pinball community is squawking about the Wick release but I like your videos and just keep at it. We all transitioned to pinball at some point just like you.
Thank you for the honest review … I have to admit I like this game more because of the challenge…. It’s far from easy …. I played one with the updated code locally I absolutely dig this game and the nostalgia mix … I agree my big gripe is not having James Bond or 007 on the front back glass …. Nice production 🐝 and perfect visuals ….
The Bond villains behave like Avengers Infinity Quest. You fail and Thanos gets the gem, so all part of game design, like you said. I haven't seen the 'ejector seat' VUK fail like that yet. Is it just a little misaligned so it 'jiggles' through the DB5 and loses momentum? Its cool they let you keep the game for a couple months. Joke time: Just like Goldfinger, the slings like to say "No, Mr. Kong. I expect you to die...". Just ask a Tron G panel, Mrs. Kongs-R-Us is definitely a femme fatale... Ok... that's all my bad Bond/K-R-U puns... :) Fun review!
Yea, I think it might be misaligned, but not sure if it also has to do with ball ejector strength too. Thanks for the info on AIQ! Haven’t had as much time with that game.
@@KongsRUs I haven't played AIQ a ton yet. It's more unforgiving than Foo Fighters. If you wanted to test out, you could probably put the game into coil test menu, drop a ball in the VUK and fire the test, catch the ball and repeat. You'll be able to focus on if it's rattling around on the launch, or if it's just a weak launch. It feels like Stern cranks the power (set to 254 out of 255) just to ensure it has the juice, but alignment is probably more likely the issue. Good luck!
I'm not too big on the 007 pin by stern! it's decent tho! I'll admit I am a bigger fan of spooky pinball! machines like Scooby Doo & Halloween are pretty good! Heck I just bought a Scooby Doo for at home 😆 it'll be here today!
@@KongsRUs thanks (: definitely will try to! We never really played the Scooby machine except for once at a pin fest in Milwaukee! but the wife is an absolute Scooby Doo fanatic & collector as is! so technically speaking i should say it's her' pin machine 😂
Was that the infamous Stern Spike 2 fan running during the beginning of your final thoughts? I replaced the fan on my TMNT Premium with Pinmonk and I need to do it on JP Premium as well.
Lol, yes, I have the pin monk fans I need to replace on the pins I own, but didn't want to mod this loaner pin. But man, it was loud when I watched it back! 😄
For me this game is Stern's best in recent memory. Shame it started out sooo rough, with time it has become a truly stellar game. Great video!
Agree its gotten exponentially better with the code updates!
A George Gomez masterpiece. It will never leave my collection.
This game really grew on me over time.. we have one at our local league and am always happy when I see it on our games list to compete on that night
Agree! It's been gaining great momentum from the pinball community the last 6 months

Coolest couple in the Home Arcade space. Great Content as always. Thank You Both.
Awww thanks TNT!!
This pin is AMAZING! I have the pro.
Awesome! Pro version is still great IMO, I'd probably go for a pro if I got one
Hi Bee Quazar here thoroughly enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work and good pinball skills! I hope to see you again soon.
Thanks Quazar! Look forward to playing with you again soon too

@@KongsRUsI turned down the power on the ejector a smidge and problem was solved 100%.

Greatest bond movies ever!!!great video
Thanks so much Al! Hope you are well my friend
Played a round on location, fun game/theme. Would agree it's not as casual as some others though. Great review.
Thank you for the comment Mr Styles! It's a great training game to sharpen your pinball skills
