    Quoted from Rager170:

    No, they arent on them. I actually dont think ive ever seen them come with a machine except for Wonka, which I threw out because I thought the felt was packing material haha.
    Edit - Whoops, I forgot what we were talking about. Perhaps there is something screwed into place and I didnt realize it.

    GB definitely has them. I have the game too. They are black plastic and look like the pic in post #13 of this thread. They are screwed in so you wouldn’t have thrown them out by accident.

    And to those questioning drilling the art, It’s been a minute, but I believe it gets screwed in where the art isn’t. Regardless, it’s behind the leg so you’ll never see it, but they do prevent wrinkling, indentations and other long term damage that you would see. Like ForceFlow said, it’s a no brainer. Those of us with older games knows what this looks like and we want to avoid history repeating itself.

    Hell, go find yourself a Transformers and you’ll see it. This modern game was notorious for wrinkling art by the leg area.
