Quoted from Talon2000:My real Peeve is that the listed Pre-order prices, were much lower than the actual final costs.
So what are they charging for the pre-orders? If I remember correctly when I signed up it showed $699 as the pre-order price. I'm still waiting on my email from CPR.
Quoted from Talon2000:It was $599 it's now $749

So is this common practice for CPR to not honor the pre-order pricing and raise the price? This is the first time I have ever been on their pre-order list so I have no idea how this worked in the past.
If I remember correctly when I put my name on the list last March the pre-order price was listed at $699 and retail was $749. I too am disappointed in the missing artwork and lack of detail. I am curious what they will do about this if anything.
I hadn't noticed the "Estimated Price" before. No big deal I was just wondering. Thanks for the reply's.
Is CPR still shipping out these playfields? I haven't seen any recent posts. Has CPR addressed the missing numbers? I'm sure many customers are upset, how many are returning their playfields?
I still have not received an email about my playfield. I sent an email to CPR but haven't gotten a response yet. I still want one because mine is down to the wood in a few spots. I was planning on clearing the playfield anyway so I can add the numbers before I clear. I would think they would offer some sort of a discount on these now, but I don't know.
Quoted from Coyote:Was going to get water-slide, since my printer (that I'm getting prices from, not 'the printer in my office') can print white on them. Once I have the arts done up, I'll share it - I ain't monopolizing a fix for some shoddy work by others. So if someone wants the art to put on adhesive mylar, you can have it!
I'm interested in a set, I got the email Saturday and placed my order.
Does anyone know if its possible to make a bold font print for the other drop targets and would it fit over the ones on the playfield without having to mess with the blue area?
Sorry I wasn't clear about what I was asking. I was referring to the "Advance & Score Rocket Value" by the other drop target banks. The original font appears to be a thicker or bold text and what CPR used appears regular. It would also be cool to add the rubber ring sizes like the original had.
