Why did you decide to go with the SE and not The LE like you originally ordered since they had one of those available too.
Quoted from CGC-Ryan:I want to provide a quick update on Monster Bash production. First off, I apologize for the delays in LE production.
As many of you know, we manufacture all of our playfields in house. Each MB playfield is carefully hand silk screened with ten spot colors. This is how the original playfields were manufactured. The spot colors create a color spectrum far richer and wider than what can be produced using four-color process. Each playfield we produce is a unique handcrafted piece of art with its own unique characteristics.
I believe we are the only pinball machine manufacturer still utilizing spot colors on our playfields. Some have moved away from screen printing altogether and now digitally print their playfields in four-color process. Digitally printing is certainly more consistent and far less expensive but it comes with certain compromises.
We are trying to keep the bar as high as possible and not compromise quality. I believe with few exceptions the playfields we have shipped in every Monster Bash have been beautiful. We do hold even higher standards for playfields going into LEs. To date, our production has yielded less LE worthy playfields than we hoped. As a result, we have produced more SEs and CEs than originally scheduled (and less LEs).
We have made several changes in the screen printing process and we are finally seeing much improved results. These results are starting to allowing us to move more quickly through production of LEs.
The number of people participating in our serial number matching program far exceeded our expectations - there were 246 participants in total.
We are anticipating completing all domestic serial number matching program LEs by February 1, 2019. After that we will focus on the balance of domestic and international LEs.
I want to thank everyone for their support and allowing us to do work that we love.
Now was that so hard?
I guess I don't fully understand, but wouldn't the single layer decal still be covering the joint even if its not wrapped around the corner?
Quoted from ChiroCop:Yes. I paid in full back in November. Purchased from Automated Services (pinballs.com). My non-matching LE drop-shipped yesterday. It will be delivered next week.
Bought from same place, my non matching LE scheduled for delivery tomorrow!
Non matching #1162 delivered today along with a cracked right side decal. Thought they were not wrapping these anymore. Hard to believe this is one that was made before they said they quite wrapping them as it was drop shipped direct from CGC. I'm sure they they are shipping them out as soon as they are built.
Very disappointing! My AFMRLE and MMR does not have this problem.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Topper in progress!

Those look very cool and accurate! Can't wait to see the finished product!
