There was no excuse for these issues at $9500 and certainly not at $10,500. JJP should use the extra profits from the crazy $1k price increase and send owners of affected games brand new fully populated playfields. It doesn't matter if this only happened to a handful of games in the middle of last year, it shouldn't happen at all considering the issue popped up with their 2 previous games.
The other day I had a chance to play a TMNT LE, AIQ LE, and GNR LE on location. The TMNT LE and AIQ LE playfields looked great, no artwork around the posts which I thought looked just fine. However, GNR LE had chipping around the sling posts. I'm pretty sure the playfield was made in the middle of last year (location got one of the first games) but it still doesn't look good. On a side note the speakers on TMNT LE and AIQ sounded great...not so much I found for GNR LE.
