Hmm, just remembered that Mirco announced a couple of weeks ago that he is selling the rest of Alien playfields for $750. He would not need them anymore, if the manufacturing was moved to USA...

Quoted from delt31:so why does that change your vote? Assuming that vote is yes? Sorry not following.
I changed my vote to: "Yes, I believe it will happen", because Mirco is clearing his inventory and it takes place very near to the rumour that Pinball Bros will have the pinball machines (and obviously then also playfields) manufactured by CGC.

Quoted from PinBalt:Did anyone catch if they said anything about the plastics and them breaking? Wasn't that an issue on the original games because they used acrylic instead of PETG?
Will be PETG:
I had a playfield protector on, so I had no levelling issues with the PF monitor on my original Alien. However, some glue or some other type of debris (maybe wax, I do not know) was coming off from the edges of the playfield monitor, but it was easily cleaned by removing the monitor and wiping the debris via the opening away below the playfield protector. Also had the "red playfield monitor" phenomenon, but it was solved by securing the cable to the monitor - I do not remember, but it might have involved taking the monitor apart and securing the connection inside the monitor chassis. Anyway, as it was the same video mirrored from the backglass, I won't be missing it, the new inserts are fine and also the playfield graphics will be better now when one does not have to have the monitor there (which was there originally I believe due to the modular build of the Heighway games and inherited from Full Throttle).
