Let them know there is enough demand to make a new run and put your name down here. I know I'm in for at least a set.

X 2 with ramps coming out the plastic set would be great

#4 9 years ago

Yep, interest here too

OK guys, We saw this in the other Threads, no need to start a new post for it.....Just curious: When you guys post this kind of stuff do you ever take into consideration the 3rd party Licensing we have to pay for & the hoops we have to go through to get those licenses?

Of course not.

I do, but figured since you had already made the plastics once that you already had all the artwork done. All you need now is a license renewal and to send the things to print

I didn't say it was going to be easy but it surely is a lot easier since half the job is done.

I like you Stu you funny.

I don't mean this to be a negative fashion at all... I have installed a set of these on a game, and have another set waiting to go on my WCS, which is getting a NOS set of playfields... and I've had this discussion privately with a few friends who have restored WCS games.

The previous run of these were disappointing in the fact that the plastic seemed brittle, and the artwork flaked off them in spots pretty easily.

I would buy them again, if someone could convince me that the process / technology had improved, and that a new run wouldn't have these issues.

#10 9 years ago

Considering what commonly broken pieces are going for these days, you could charge more than usual and these would still fly out the door. I don't think people think it takes no work to do these sets, just that this is a really viable and profitable set to make for CPR - worth the trouble.

No we just figured you guys did everything for free. What would be sweet would be if Stu created a topper of the yellow card woman on the lower part of the playfield. That is if they did another run.

Wondering if you sprayed UV resistant (non-yellowing) varnish under the plastics if it would damage the artwork or protect it? or better yet, that have created clear plastics that are a bit bigger to go under the actual plastics.

This will be a first hearing anything like this. So I racked my brain...how is that possible?

Then I realized, we weren't the original ones to make the WCS94 plastics. Could it be possible (if you remember the year you bought, and/or where you got them) that you don't have CPR set(s) ?

We were given the film set (Marti Sperling hand-cut rubylith films) by the vendor that produced the original run of reproductions. I believe they were done on acrylic. Plus most inks don't permanently bond to acrylic. That run of non-CPR ones would have been in the pre-2007/2008 era. We were barely a couple years in, and only had made Centaur, Black Knight, and Xenon playfields by that point. Barely any plastics. I believe the CPR run came out in 2009 or 2010.

Well according to Kevin these are coming in a few months (2-3)...thanks CPR!!!!

#15 9 years ago

Awesome news! Saves me a lot of time and money tracking these down one by one. Now to order a Pin Decals protector set in advance...

#16 9 years ago

Instead of Pinball Decals.. get the protectors from Pinbits! They have them, but they may not be on the site.

Is there a diffrence in quality? Just wondering why>?

#18 9 years ago

Pinbits prices are lower generally, and the protector that goes under the left ramp is bigger and protects the entire plastic, not just the front edges of it.

Seconded! I'd certainly buy a set.

Yeah, Pinbits doesn't list a protector set for WCS. They sell standard clear sets, but not protectors. I'll email them about it (don't know why it wouldn't be listed if they have it, though).

#21 9 years ago

I don't know why it isn't listed. I was their beta tester and provided input on the set they made for a previous WCS restore for me.

#22 9 years ago

I need a set of protectors. If anyone could confirm that would be great!

#23 9 years ago

I just heard back from Pam at Pinbits that there was a glitch keeping it off the site, and she's going to restore the page and send me the link ASAP. They still sell them. I'll share the link here when I get it.

Where did he say this?

#26 9 years ago

Pinbits protectors are back up: http://www.pinbits.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_76&products_id=599

However it looks like it's 5 pieces, and the Pinball Decals set is 8 pieces vs. 5 for the Pinbits set. Not sure what the extra protectors are in the Decals set since the Pinbits listing doesn't have a picture. Decals set is $3 more.

Weird, as the set I used had *6* pieces. Wonder which one they aren't including with the set...

#28 9 years ago

Hello All,

Thank you for your feedback. We will re-evaluate our set and include a photo today. We appreciate your patience.

Thank you!

I have a repro plastics set (not protectors) on my game that was run about 10 or 11 years ago. Anybody know who did that set?
