Hmm, I actually kind of like it. It keeps much of the same look, incorporating the theme of Drew's description of it.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

That actually looks really nice.  A blend of old and new.

The actual retail price is...

I'm impressed. Bullseye is what the 2nd oldest game without a refurb (Race Game, if you don't count the removal of the other handle)?

I assume now the hidden bullseye will appear automatically.

I had a feeling it was going to be redone at some point. Guess we can knock off another game with eggcrates from the list...

But I'm fine with this new look, and I also really like the arrows they added. The previous set's been looking kind of tacky lately in the current era, so I can't wait to see this in action.

My ONLY complaint is the black numbers on the board. They looked much better in white. Maybe they'll get around to fixing them.

Is it me, or do the label and price cards for each product look like they've been retired in favor of LED displays?

Overall, this looks very sharp, and the arrows fit the motif of the game better than those markers.

Of all of the games on the show, Bullseye was easily in most need of a refurbishment. That old prop just looked rough in HD.

I actually really like this a lot. Looks really sharp. Fits in well with the rest of the set. It's not a drastic overhaul, but enough of one where it looks and feels new, while still being the same game.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

RIP discarded graphics receptacle on the side of the game that no host ever used and that wasn't quite wide enough to actually contain said graphics.

RIP poker chips and sometimes-difficult-to-peel-off labels that were placed on the poker chips.

"Fun" fact: The decimal point on the price readout was also a poker chip.

I was fine with the old prop, but I suppose everything has to be updated to keep up with technology at some point.

I liked the Papyrus font of the game a lot. Kinda generic new font there.

Quite a nice refurbishing. They didn't go overboard in redoing it and it has a nice sleek look.

I remember when they said like last year they've planned to do a refresh of this classic game and look what happened, it got what it needed for the new decade. Like what everyone said, still looks great without doing a major overhaul and at least the colors don't look washed out like Push Over or It's in the Bag.

Didn't Now or Then already get some sort of refurbishment? It's subtle, but a new silver border was added around the game, and the bottom was redone in yellow to better match the red, yellow and orange look.
