I've been using these bats powder-coated on my Star_Trek Mirror Universe one-off.

Did these ever go back in stock?
I haven't seen them when I've went and looked recently.

PinballNews.com did a story on some alternate bats:

but at 90euros for a pair; I just can't.

YEAH. I like them because they can be powdercoated and laser etched.
I'd like to know if PBL intends to restock or let them say out of stock.
Maybe Terry will chime in at some point.

I'd do 15 per bat. But you know your market better than me.

Pretty sure the Transparent Aluminum comment was more directed as a joke in reference to infamous scene from "Star Trek: IV - the Voyage Home":

Quoted from HighVoltage:

Looks like it's not just the machine prices that have inflated!

Please read the comments above.
The short answer is that the machinist making them needs incentive to continue making them. IE other work is more profitable.
Put your bats on sale here and I'm sure they'll sell very soon.

So, i'm I understanding correctly that pinball life is officially done with this product? Ie they are no pursuing replacements of these defective products?
