Quoted from Deez:I just received my JP2. It was a show model so it was played pretty hard at the Cleveland show this past weekend. I'm pleased to report with 841 plays on the ticker that the clear looks perfect still. There is a slight dent in the shooter lane which would be expected with that many plays. I don't care anyway since the game is going on route. I wouldn't worry if you're buying the game for home use. I think this issue is being blown out of proportion. Seems to hold up fine.

Glad you got a good one bro! JP2 was the fourth NIB I’d purchased from Stern, but the first to have a major issue right outta the box. Once I saw the posts digging into the clear coat in under 100 plays, I cut my losses and sold it ASAP. I still want a JP2, but not until they fix their product.
That clear coat was basically gel dude... You could watch it ripple up more when tightening the post by the upper right flipper. Not cool.
