Monster Bash
Williams, 1998My Monster Bash decals showed up this weekend! They look fantastic! I was expecting something great from all the chatter about these decals. I opened up the package, slowly removed and unrolled them, then wow! Even better than I had envisioned. Thank you SOE.

You are most welcome and thanks for the kind support. It's nice to hear after all the work that went into them.
Quoted from redmamanora:Still waiting.
I check every day with just this to look at "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment"
Quoted from Aurich:Here's the thing:
a) Customs can just be slow. Believe me, I've sent a lot of my translites overseas, I'm super familiar with the "sitting at customs" game. You guys just have to be patient sometimes.
b) The US Postal Service tracking is pretty unreliable. They don't update it often, their hardware doesn't always work, and even when it is scanned the system doesn't update until they go back to the post office and upload from their had scanners, they're not cellular and won't post from the field. Often I'll have something sit on "electronic shipping received" for days, and then suddenly a bunch of updates and delivered will appear. It sucks, but it is what it is. So just because the updates aren't happening doesn't mean the package isn't moving.
Speaking as someone who worked for USPS for 13 years, this is true. The hand held scanners have to be cradled back at the office before they transmit the day's tracking data. It just means that USPS' tracking isn't up to par with FedEx or UPS.
Still waiting also but was told it's in Kennedy New York airport slowly going thru customs. Will post when they arrive.
Quoted from Jetzxi:How can I place an order for a set?
Pm me with your email address.
Nearly all of them were posted out on the 27th from initial interest but it looks like some are still being processed through customs - they were all sent on a five day service which is somewhat frustrating. I would expect the last few to arrive next week. It must be something with customs at the moment as I ordered the Klingon mod for my st form states and it took 3 weeks to get through customs.
The whims of customs are not for any mere mortal to fathom. 
In my experience the slowest and the most frustrating are German customs. But it's really not that different around the world. As far as I can tell it's purely a money game, they just want to make sure they're squeezing every package dry enough.
Received mine today. Excellent quality product that will definitely enhance the look of the pin. Thank you for making these available.
I thought I seen a video of you putting these on,, I'm not looking forward to putting them on. could someone post a link to that video again thanks .
Not sure if anybody did a video but there are some example pics of installation for tspp decals on page 2 which should help. Monster bash are simpler as there is no cutting to do.

If you can get a friend to help you should have no problems.
thanks I got one side on so far but I was sweating bullets. it just gets really tight by the play field.. I had a big wrinkle but luckily I was able to pull it back off and reposition it . its a really nice material and I'm glad the adhesive wasn't like one and done, or I would have been jacked.. man they look really nice on.. I'll post up some pics when I'm done thanks again.
I have my girlfriend helping me...... ah trying to help me.. I think.... : )
Received my set today. Took a while for the decals to get thru customs but well worth the wait! Great quality product. Thanks Dan!
Quoted from tonycip:Done 1 the secound one went easier .. I'm in for any other one's you make.. that I have machines for that is. : )
Looks fantastic - thanks for pics, better than mine. They really look nice with your lighting. The adhesive is great stuff as it allows repositioning until your ready. Tried all sorts of media before settling on this for the feel and quality. I think the laminating just gives them that extra nice feel and is well worth the extra cost.

Sillyoldelf: I know you advise installing these dry--but to avoid sweating bullets like tonycip mentioned above, is there any reason these can't be installed wet with Windex or soapy water?
Quoted from pingod:Excellent quality,I just installed a set on MB last weekend
Geeeze Dan, Why didn't you do my machine?? I feel second rate!

Quoted from pingod:Um,who's game was it
Flo comes to mind now.
I know you regretted selling it...especially now with these awesome decals 
...and yeah, it's definitely her favourite game. Happy wife, happy pinball life

You don't need wet method because the adhesive doesn't bond instantly. So if you put them on lightly a little at a time you can peel back and adjust as you go. When you are happy everything is lined up, then give them a good rub down with a cloth. The adhesive will then bond over 48 hours but even so you can still peel them away again without damage to machine - the decals may get damaged though as the adhesive will have some grab. The way they are designed once in place they actually improve in quality as the laminate and adhesive is designed this way for commercial signs.
In fact I think water would probably spoil the adhesive but I'd have to check with printers.
Old topic I know, but worth another shout out. I bought these months ago, and just got around to installing them today. They really add a beautiful touch to the machine. Truly can't imagine the machine without them. Super job by sillyoldelf!
Thanks for the update and good to hear you are pleased with them.
I have a few sets available again if anybody still needs some. Just pm.
I bought these awesome decals many months ago way before I had the machine. Now I finally got myself a Monster Bash and the decals is so well made, it looks truly a natural part of the original design. Very skilled done!
Now I wish you will buy yourself a Cactus Canyon so we can have a great set of decals there as well.

Hi there! I'm interested in the MB decals, they look awesome! Sending you a PM.
Hey! I really want a set of MB decals. I PM you last week but no answer. Are you still making them?
let me know!
Quoted from RoyF:Yeah, I PM'd 9 days ago myself, but no answer so far. Well, people have real lives beyond pinball and things get busy too, so let's be patient and see what turns up.
I would like to know the price, I'd like them for wall art.
