Here are my slings same issue, early build.
My supplier was notified within a week of owning the game.
They told me JJP isn't doing anything about it, or for the customer.

I have bought every JJP game up until this one.
Will pass on the next title.

Cliffy switch hole protector for sure on there.
Before it gets really bad.

I left them a message, and nothing back from them at all.

I asked about a discounted new playfield and never got a reply back.
At the same time I mentioned my playfield chipped to the wood.
It's not like I'm a first time buyer either.
I have had every title so far except Wonka.
This is the only game that has had this kind of playfield issue for me.

But a lot of them do, mine being one of them.

Here is Jack's statement from the Wonka thread, Key post there.

Jack's statement transcribed from the podcast -
"Alright, well first off I just want to apologize for the delay in speaking about this matter publicly as we sorted through things internally and we understand that some of our customers are concerned to see and hear of clear coat chipping around posts on our Willy Wonka game.
The number of actual cases we have seen with true playfield chipping is extremely low and we're in the process of developing a program for anyone with documented damage and will work with those customers on a case-by-case basis and, you know, feel free to call Tech Support or call me directly if you feel your machine has true chipping or damage. And we want you to feel confident and comfortable with your purchase, always.
We want to notify customers NOT to take apart their machine, remove posts, etc, for the sole purpose of looking for chipping or problems under the posts. If you truly need to remove any part of the machine, we recommend contacting JJP Tech Support for instructions on how to do this properly. And for those customers who see rippling or pooling around any post, we want to urge you, this does not mean your game will chip.
We're diligently working with our vendor and engineers day and night on correcting any pooling moving forward. We have no reason to believe any games out there in the field are inadequate in any way, shape, or form. You should continue to enjoy and play your amazing game.
Our company's put countless hours and efforts into making Willy Wonka a fun experience for you and your loved ones to appreciate for years to come. I mean really, our people work hard every day with passion to design and create amazing games for you to play. As we always have, we will stand by our product and support our loyal customers and I can tell you that'll never change.
Thank you"

Calling them is a waste of time, tech support has been differing me to someone else since I first got a hold of them in January.
Had to put a ticket in more then once, pictures sent more then once.
It's a joke to them, it seems.

Now I am actually waiting on Jack's response to me on this.
I mentioned the podcast and no mention of Pirates.
Looks like Pirates owners are getting thrown under the bus here.

Dan Horne POTC LE # 352
Pics are in the thread already, look them up yourself.

I was surprised to have a message on my phone today from Jack as well.
I will give him a call back tomorrow and see what he has to say.
By the time I got the message they were closed for sure.
To be honest I thought it was a spam call, from New Brunswick it said. Lol.
I was thinking Canada when I looked at my phone.

I talked with Jack today.
Playfield coming my way too, on his dime.

Looks like they are trying to help with the issue.
I told him it would sit in the box for now anyway.
I don't have the time or the patience to do a swap on POTC, right now.

Nothing here yet either.

Received notice from JJP today my Pirates LE Playfield shipped.

Correction on my playfield shipping.
It hasn’t shipped at all.
Made it look like it was a shipping notice, in the email.

Why even send out a notice.

I just received notice today from UPS, that my Potc LE playfield is on it’s way
