    I received my IJ decals recently. Took about 3 weeks to Canada.

    The end of the roll was slighly damaged during shipping, unfortunately. The decal is a bit creased there.
    (I removed the damaged end of the carboard prior to taking these pics, wasn't *that* bad).

    Will this come out with heat during application?

    Colors seem good!

    ...and they included this nifty "I (heart) Pinball" decal as well! Looks great on my toolbox!

    Quoted from RetroRefurbs:

    They're long gone, done and dusted. We might do a different set later in the future but these ones are set in stone now.
    But you can see what these look like installed in the game by viewing the photo gallery on this page: https://www.retrorefurbs.com/shop/tron-legacy-pinball-sideblades/
    I think they look great installed.

    Those do look amazing!

    Same material as the side-art? How should it hold up to playfield scraping, etc.? Any testing done you can share?

    Retro Refurbs have an excellent product. Surely the license holders can come to reasonable terms to keep these on the market and affordable. It is to their benefit to make these products generally available, they sell more, and it closes the current huge gaping hole in affordable availability in the market, which just provide incentive for folks to try to sell unlicensed versions.

    Meet the demand with an excellent, affordable product. Seems like they are doing so with the new hardtop playfield overlays, why not with retro refurb's side art, etc.?

    Quoted from Skypilot:

    Parts were not available in years past. This has changed greatly in the last few years. I am fortunate to be working with some of the manufacturers of new replacement parts and I can say things are much better today than in the past. There are quite a few pieces in the works for B/W. Most parts are done on a need basis. If enough people ask about a product it gets sent to the top of the list.Having people make items without approval and quality control is a double-edged sword. Products of lesser quality become readily available and quality products end up never being produced. Be careful what you wish for.

    Except in this case we already had quality parts available. Just needed the blessing of the IP holders. Besides, the market can decide if it wants to pay substantially more for a "higher quality" product or not, can't it?
