WTF has pinball come to when a company voluntarily refuses to sell spare parts for a recently released, non-LE game. This is getting stupid (for us, not them) .. all about max profits and to hell with the players. It's a f'n plastic doll, not a hoity toity piece of art.

Name one other non-le game that has had such shortages of a core part WHILE the game was in production. This is new, and disturbing. Met had been out for a year and they can't figure out how to make more than a couple thousand sparky toys over that time? I think not.

Basically any game that has a part that wears (Sparky's feet get hit directly by the ball, just like TOM's trunk), or a part they want to mod and keep an original of. I'm sure the majority of people who drilled a set of AFM martians or MM trolls for LED eyes had a spare set handy in a box. Or they just bought a new set, made from... spare parts. You can buy new Monster Bash figurines to paint up if you like - same thing.
