Here are the custom plates I had made to replace the factory plates for the LE. If anyone is interested, they can be ordered from my store. They are the standard 0.5 x 1.5 inches in size and will be customized to your game number. If any questions, please PM me. Thank you.

Not only Canada. All games outside US.

Guess we can’t be too careful, clearly they’re going to start exploding everywhere, thank god our government is here to save us from the carnage.

I have Invisiglass, PDI, Voodoo on all my games....in my opinion it's a massive difference (my environment is pretty bright). I would buy the cheapest one u can get delivered to your house. The premium u pay for PDI isn't worth it (IMHO)

Track record... ‘Nuff said.

I think even jfh is having difficulties defending CGC's incompetence in getting games out the door.

I have put invisiglass (or, whatever stern sells-because that's what my distro carries) on all games I've owned and I love it. No glare is a game changer for me. I'm also 5'5" tall and suspect that has something to do with it lol
On location, regular glass is an annoyance at best and definite hindrance at worst-especially if the underside of the glass is streaky and not cleaned well. Again, it may be the angle but I won't own a home game without it.

Couldn’t you take the metal plate off and go to the mall where they do the custom engraved stuff and have them laser it?

Hmm. I guess you can. But I would be afraid to risk messing it up unless you can get a replacement.

yeah, jfh ran me over the coals a while back, and he doesn't even know me, 0r my place here..asking legit stuff..Napoleon didn't fare well, at the end.. I don't understand why certain people in life need to use passive-aggressive bullying, just to make rudundant statements to feel better about themselves..So i'm with you man..

I’m am so glad that between the 2 OG CC’s in my pinball league, playing it on site back in the 90’s when it was brand new, and then again at every other pinball show on the planet since, I have got CC out of my bloodstream. Will I play it again in my life?, probably, but only to see the new code. All other aspects of owning a CGC pin were satisfied with my MBrLE, which is still the Queen of my collection. Hope CGC doesn’t take a black eye on CCrLE deliveries.

This makes me
Nervous!!

What about guns on both sides of the numbers? I think that would look best.

To be fair you downvote literally any post that has any criticism of you or CGC. I think people have an issue with you because you try to stop any free discussion about CGC and their delays. Just let people talk and vent.

Can't upvote this enuf. This is not your wholly owned thread - you are merely the OP - it is all of our thread. I greatly appreciate your passion, knowledge and for the most part the FAQ - great recourse which I am sure took a lot of time to create for all our benefits! But someone stated earlier you feel you need a hall pass to post in here and that is wrong. We can all have different opinions, frustrations, etc. and for them to be continually refuted is just wrong. I really like Panzerfreak and bought one of my 1st games from him - great dude!!! And he did the same thing - trying to refute and downvote every opinion he didn't share. Does not resonate well - especially to a group of hobbyist that are passionate about what games/things they like/don't like.

Maybe just lighten up a tad

Cheers!

Welcome to this CCr club thread. Glad you're here.

All I wanna know is...

Refuting right on schedule.

For bettor or worse, this is the CCr discussion thread.
Please read hockeymag8’s post(again?). He stated how I suspect many around here are feeling, and quite graciously at that.

Is what Zach Meny said about CGC production yesterday on the Pinball Show good enough information? He said that PPS was the only distributor to get games so far, that it was a very limited number of units (like 31 units total), and that Ryan from CGC was able to get Zach an LE for his personal collection by Zach agreeing that his LE could be displayed and played at Pincinnati. Zach added that the production rate should increase significantly in another 2 or 3 weeks. This information, along with the posts on here from LE owners who have received their machines, makes me believe that there still is something preventing CGC from producing units at the desired rate. I think this is a reasonable logical inference that can be made given the facts we know. If you are sitting inside a building with no windows and somebody walks in from outside wearing a wet raincoat and carrying an umbrella, you know it is raining out even if you did not see the rain and nobody told you it was raining.

This isn't a surprise, and actually makes a lot of sense (the fact that CGC only shipped 31 games). The next excuse is they slowed down due to the holidays

not slowing delivery down either ....

I love this analogy and I am going to borrow it if it is ok with you

Unless you’re a lawyer with a different agenda(or play one on an Internet forum) the inference is clear and valid.

Thats awesome

I will stop commenting on your posts, but I think you need to read honeymag8’s post again.

It’s funny how just a few days ago I was admonished for even questioning or inferring that due to lack of activity there could possibly be production challenges, and yet here we are with confirmation there continues to be production challenges. Another reminder for CGC that transparent communication goes a long ways, it would be so appreciated if they just let us know so we aren’t left wondering and coming to our own conclusions. And IMO, really disappointing that Ryan/CGC ran victory laps and posted pics for getting a very small number of machines shipped, if they were already aware production was not sustainably ramped up to keep it going. Here’s hoping significant increase in production does happen in the next 2-3 weeks, but at this point I wouldn’t advise anyone to hold their breath. And with this experience and their track record, it would honestly have to be the perfect game for me to want to order another CGC game after this. What a disappointing experience.

Holy fucking shit CGC. Just ship the toppers separately. I know it will cost you a little more, hell most customers would probably pay separately for topper shipment. I would! But then you would keep your customers confidence in your company. I have purchased 6 machines from cgc in total. And for the first time my confidence in cgc is not so good.

jfh I truly appreciate the time and energy put into the FAQ and this thread, but I do wish you would stop mentioning every time you have ‘insider information’ or updates you’re unwilling to share. It’s really not helpful to anyone every time you mention that, and it’s happened quite a few times. If that’s true, probably better to just keep it to yourself unless you’re willing to share more openly, otherwise it just creates additional frustration IMO. Thanks.

Yea for whatever reason CGC just can't get their shit together. This will be my 4th CGC LE, and without a doubt my last....its just not worth it to do business with a company that is so arrogant they can't see fit to communicate to their customers/distributors. I get why they don't post on PinSide, but theres no excuse for not providing honest updates to their distribution channel.

Can somebody make a thread that tells me when to come read this thread?

For jfh

I think CC is a outlier for CGC. You got COVID supply line issues still plaguing the manufacturing industries, you have a whole bunch of CCr sales tied to new expected code from a now unfortunately deceased programmer, you got topper issues, non-existent saloon doors and a multitude of ideas on what CGC is going to do with those. You are Ryan, sitting there facing yet another delay, what do you do? Well historically doing nothing got him the farthest the last time, so rinse, repeat? I think they are frightened that if they were to come clean, maybe there would be huge rush to cancel orders, throw the whole thing in disarray, maybe even threaten the next new title sales, so his inaction is to be expected. I had to raise a huge stink to get them to tell us it was silk screened playfields causing the MBr delays back when we were waiting for that.

I have been in the hobby for 5 years on pinside for a little over a year. I protested pinside for years much like I protest Facebook and other social media and forums. I was finally convinced to join because people told me to stick to the owners forums and ignore the rest of the shit show. This thread has convinced me that maybe this wasn’t sound advice.

I wish Ryan would give us real answers.

Why? Because people who want to participate genuinely in this thread can’t since they don’t have their game? I’d love to be an owner in the owner forums. Right now that’s on CGC, not pinside or us here.

I love the participation. I am exhausted that the OP feels the need to police the thread. That is what moderators are for. Being the OP doesn’t make you a moderator or any better than the rest of us. It literally means you started a topic. So if there are issues there is a process. That process is the moderation team.

No. They are just fed up with Pinside.

LTG : )

Are they fed up with their distribution network as well?

CGC strategically has chosen to post in here when it’s to their benefit. They aren’t fed up with pinside when they want to sell games or share good news. Their continued lack of communication on the status of LEs warrants criticism that does not require the sign off of the OP.

So they're fed up with the end users of their products?

No idea on that one.

LTG : )

No. Call them or talk to them at a show.
