I would like to make a suggestion to all the POTC owners who have the pooling/chipping problem. I received my game NIB in January and totally love it. However I have noticed the pooling problem and did the post/washer replacement. As I placed the cliffys, I noticed a chip around the Tortuga hole. Am I bummed? Of course. Do I have any regrets buying it, never. It's too great of game for that. To be honest, I really don't think JJP is going to do anything about it because everyone is complaining about this on Pinside. When it came to fixing some things, JJP responded with such things as BP Opto protector, posts and washers and such. But we are talking about a major part of the game that even unpopulated is a lot of money and populated, a lot a lot a lot of money. I am going to follow HarryHoudini's example and write a letter sent registered mail to JJP with documentation of my game serial number, purchase date, photos of the damage and what I think is fair compensation for the damage. I hope any WW owners who are having the same problem do the same. This will give JJP proper notification of what the problem is and what they are facing from the owners of the game. It may be a small handful of owners or it may be numerous. It's way to difficult to determine accurately by going by the post here. What happens after that? Who knows. They may respond, or they may not. But at least you have documented it and officially notified them. Again, I love love love this game.

Quoted from wesman:

I saw him mention building Pearl Ramps too a month or so ago.

That would be awesome. I'd love to get a extra ramp
