Quoted from bigdaddy07:That's where CGC shines in comparison. Their LEs are 12 months for mechanical and other components and 24 months for electronics. A real warranty.
They are a little bit safer though - those mech designs have been tested for 20+ years!
Quoted from KornFreak28:Unfortunately, it might be true. I got some parts from them yesterday. One part was missing and was listed as “Out of stock”
LOTS of parts are always out of stock - it doesn’t really necessarily mean anything.
Quoted from Lermods:So many negative threads. Instead of saying jjp is running out of parts, which isn’t really helpful and may not even be true, why not just post what parts people are being told are out of stock so a solution can possibly be found. Posting the same exact thing across multiple threads I also don’t see the point.
I saw the maelstrom ramp mentioned as having a crack? Where is the crack? How many plays on the game before an issued occurred? Have you removed the ramp in the past and maybe tightened something too tight to cause the issue? Is the crack noticeable? Is the game playable? I realize these questions don’t have anything to do with parts being out of stock, but they do factor into how much we should be concerned about how common a part failing might be and the implications (e.g., a whether down the road your game I’ll be a paper weight).
So, what parts do not appear to be in stock? Start a list.

Quoted from Axl:I deleted it, lermods said it better.
I own pirates, not worried at all. Threads like this only makes people hoard parts, making them even more hard to get.
I also own black rose, found a NOS cannon body with new decals.
Hell, I even owned pinball magic, got all the parts I needed for it, no worries.
Same here - i owned a PM for a while, and was nervous at first about the parts, but there was not one single thing I couldn’t find! And I did a full tear down and replaced half the game
Frustrating that PPS keeps pretending they are remaking the BR cannon, and it’s been like 5 years at this point. This could have been remade by someone like Starship Fantasy twice over by now
Quoted from harryhoudini:I don't see why it's on my lap, or ours, to keep a list of what parts are out. How about JJP tells us which parts are out and which we can expect to be made again? Maybe if there was some communication from JJP to the customers there would be less conjecture and posts with these kinds of questions. Trying to keep any sort of tally here is going to be an exercise in futility as no one can really say, no one has that information except JJP. They could tell you tomorrow that a ramp is out of stock but without knowledge of their supply pipelines, what items they plan to keep in stock or remake, etc. it's all just chaos.
The real question is if JJP will be reproducing parts or not. Again, not something any of us can say but it would be good to know what other people are being told since it's very, very obvious JJP does not want to improve communication with customers.

I have no idea how my Maelstrom ramp broke. It's cracked on the front-left corner between the vertical wall on the left and the bottom (so the "fold") all along where the ramp protector is. I just noticed it when I was cleaning the game several months ago so I asked if there was any warranty (ramp shouldn't crack that soon, right?) but there was no help there so I paid for a new one.
I don't think the ramp is particularly thin there (it is at the top around the loop, which is somewhat concerning) and I don't see what would have caused it. I still have it on the game because I cut the tab off (for the hidden switch mod) and the crack doesn't seem to affect play at all so, like the playfield, I'll just keep using it until it becomes a problem.
As a buyer, I totally agree! Although I can see this from JJP's perspective too. They may truly not know whether they are going to do another run, and don't want to risk panicking anybody by saying "we won't have support parts!!" because then there will be 50 pinside threads about how they are "going out of business". If the parts inventory is a trade secret, ok. But I do hope they consider how many of their games we've all bought ( I personally have purchased WOZ, TH, DI, POTC - and all but WOZ (which I bought twice!) were NIB). I do appreciate the people that work there though - they have been extraordinary - and Steve who works in support - by himself now, by the way, since Frank quit - personally emailed me to hook me up. I think that's great.
now the part is OOS right now, but... I'm hopeful. There's nobody else making games of this quality out there now. AP is close IMO, but not there yet, even though I think the team there is outstanding. They may need some more A-holes on staff to up the quality level
Quoted from Dr-pin:If a pinball company publically stated, we are sorry, but we cant supply spare parts any longer, but company x is our supplier and maybe if you organize yourself and ordered batches, you could probebly get them to supply you at a fair price.
That company would have my vote forever.
That would definitely be awesome! However for the most part, suppliers don't deal with the public like that. Too much drama. That's why we have the distributor model
Quoted from LTG:They got rid of Lloyd ?
Now I'm sad.
LTG : (
LOL SORRY! I meant onsite 
Quoted from Goronic:Probably for the better, he tends to get a bit ornery when he reads Pinside that's for sure...
WTH guys
