Quoted from zaphX:

I don’t think it had to do with profitability. I’m sure that was thought out well in advance of production.
My theory is simple. People pulled orders due to the mech nerfs. Parts orders were reduced accordingly. The game hit the street and surprise! It’s fantastic even with the changes. Suddenly everyone wants one but the parts orders require lead time and minimum quantities so the ship has sailed. So to speak.
That’s my take anyway. Not based on anything but speculation.

Agreed

Quoted from knobstone:

Unfortunate for sure. Just returned from the Wonka forum, and there are new pictures posted of aWonka LE machine that also has the same type of playfield issue. $9500.00 + taxes, shipping and having to deal with defect is unacceptable.

Clear is denting where post were tight but i didnt c any chipping? As long as playfield dont start chipping apart is the clear bunching up around some post a huge deal? I have/had alot of pins that have slight clear bunching up but that was the extent .... now if it starts chipping apart that's another story.

Picked up a Houdini the other week in a trade and noticed they used rubber on the sling post? I believe it uses a micro playfield also? Wondering if they put these there bc there was a chipping issue early on? I dont like the way it plays with those rubber things on tho as it really takes away action. 20190810_113302 (resized).jpg20190810_113302 (resized).jpg
