James Bond 60th Anniversary is a limited-edition pinball game released by Stern Pinball in January 2023, designed by Keith Elwin and restricted to 500 units. Originally priced at $20,000 MSRP, the game features retro styling with four spinners, an LCD screen, and 10 drop targets. The game has experienced significant market depreciation, dropping to $12,500 by early 2026—the largest depreciation in Stern history—and has been criticized for cheap construction and misleading marketing despite its premium pricing.

James Bond 60th Anniversary is the most expensive game Stern has made outside of Elvira editions, priced at $20,000.
Bond 60th Anniversary secondary market prices have depreciated to approximately half the new price due to community backlash over pricing and design.
