This exact same thing happened to me with the first run Whirlwind playfield. Never heard from them. I messaged them and got the we don't have any more left reply. I ended up getting one, but it was a bronze version(that does look fantastic btw) because I spoke up they found me one. But for waiting for years for a playfield and then to get a bronze and then almost not one at all is just bad business imo. Why can Mirco bang out playfield after playfield in short amounts of time and always have them in stock and we still have to deal with CPR's horrible business model? I've been waiting for a Sorcerer playfield for years now and I wonder if they will really ever do it. I wish Mirco would bang them out and just be done with it. We won't even comment on the Joust playfield fiasco. I will say though, I have bought several items from them and I personally have found the quality to be good.

Because if you talk against CPR they might not sell to you. Its kind of like their little dust up with Mirco. If you buy his Joust playfield you can't have plastics or anything else we make for it. Its not Mircos fault CPR sits on playfield lists for years on end and he can whip them out in months.

If you look back at the Banzai Run or Joust playfield threads it is implied that CPR threatened to not sell plastics and other products if they bought Mircos playfield. I have nothing against CPR personally, but I do have a huge problem with their inability to get products out. Mirco doesn't seem to need preorder lists and can make playfields in months rather than years. And he always seems to keep stock of everything. Someone please set me straight and help me understand why CPR can't do the same? apparently Mirco was thinking about doing the upper playfield for Banzai Run since CPR has said they aren't running it. We will see how that goes. This is all just stuff I have read in threads, but it was implied, but not said that CPR wouldn't sell other products to persons buying the Mirco Joust playfield.

I think you have to buy all pieces or nothing? Not sure.
