What staggers me is that Stern didn't sort out KPG quickly as they are going to get a whole load of extra grief now. That in itself is a massive miscalculation on their part and it wasn't exactly difficult to predict!

For those of us thinking of buying games made in 2015/2016 and have 1 or 2 ghosted inserts, does this effect the value of the game? Will those inserts deteriorate over the next few years?
Quoted from PanzerFreak:I remember that one. It seemed that MET pros made the last 2 weeks of March 2015 and / or the first 2 weeks of April 2015 were affected.
That issue, along with the decal pealing issue, occurred when Stern changed factories. Stern did do right on their part and sent customers affected by the MET pro playfield issues populated playfields.
Unfortunately some of the best playfields ever mad - by Zaccaria still look new after 40 years. Downside is that the chemicals used were literally killer and banned.
I suspect the chemical formulation of clearcoat that Stern are using is for some reason more brittle. Can it be changed? No idea.
The irony is that I am now checking HUO Stern's for sale more throughly than 60 year old em's!!
