I joined the club today and I’m not excited

261 plays on my pin and I found this today when putting on my penguin mod! I sent this to my distributor and he said they should send me a populated playfield. I’m not holding my breath but very sad for a couple months old

Quoted from newpinbin:

No way will they be sending you a populated one. People have had a lot worse and they only received a small bottle of clear coat...Hope I'm wrong.

We will see, I went with a large distributor so maybe that matters. Either way, if they do nothing I won’t buy another NiB from them again. I bought three this year and I know I’m small potatoes but it’s not bad for just a huo.

Luckily it’s not super visible as long as it doesn’t get any worse. It’s behind the angle.

Quoted from dsmoke1986:

I have bought a JP2 Prem and GOTG Pro both new in box in the last few months.
No playfield issues at all; cabinets are perfect, and both play perfectly; just a heads up to those monitoring this thread for recent feedback.

Yep, Obviously it’s not a 100% failure rate as my other 2 NiB purchases were fine. It’s how they handle it that will determine if I continue to buy. If they give me a populated playfield and I pull this one to replace it then we are all good. I will continue to do business knowing they back their products.

Speaking of guardians, here is mine and you can see the art away from the post. I don’t complain about this one because I bought it used with about 1800 plays. it’s not horrible but it’s still an issue as it should be perfect even with that amount of plays.

Quoted from T3quila:

You just started the puzzle wizard mode.

Right, very interactive. Can’t wait until more pieces come off and I can glue them back to the playfield

Here is my AC/DC that I owned. Stern really needs to address these issues. More playfield issues. Half my pins have had something. This is luci vault edition

Quoted from Izzy24:

Same spot as my Catwoman.[quoted image]

Crazy, did you submit a claim?

#3603 4 years ago
Quoted from Izzy24:

Yes, supposedly there is an unpopulated playfield in my future. Still waiting.

Ok, what about any clear or anything to apply to the spot? Did they do anything with that? I’d like to apply something to my old one if they just send an unpopulated one

I’m thinking about getting a JP pro. Does anyone know the build month I should avoid buying so i don’t have pooling or chipping? I learned my lesson with catwoman

#4547 4 years ago
Quoted from Yelobird:

Honest question as I don't know. Does the build date Really matter? Last time I toured Stern the playfields were all in massive racks and simply pulled as needed for production. The date of game build had nothing to do with the date the playfield or problem solved playfield selected? They simply grabbed one out of the rack from what I seen. Kind of like the old B/W games the build date never matched the stamped playfield date from what I remember.

I believe it does because they changed their process and even the art around the posts to control the issues. My catwoman was in May and my distributor said the summer months that had playfield issues on catwoman.
