Sweet! This makes the high speed I just purchased actually worth purchasing lol.

Quoted from turbo2nr:

Ready? Id take the one in pics with the White in Two areas! I don't care

Maybe if you ask more it will happen faster lol. I’m sure they’ll let you know when it’s available

Quoted from turbo2nr:

That was my first time asking for a reject. Thanks for your help. So nice of you.

You’re welcome!! I mean come on dude you asked two days in a row. Outside edge just put out a post about rushing them on things and asking questions over and over. You may have missed it so I’m sorry. I for one am just thankful that they are making the product at all. Obviously we all want what we want and we want it now but after a long wait there is obviously a light at the end of the tunnel. Just be patient is all I’m saying.

Quoted from turbo2nr:

Any news for this?
Are we there yet?

Looks like the same question to me... but it’s whatever I guess. I read just fine and it appears that you asked the same questions on back to back days and then followed that with you’d take the reject. I’m not sure why a company would sell you a reject considering they are trying to promote the product and allowing a subpar example to hit market would do just the opposite in the long run. I’m not arguing with you about it though. Your options are simple... either WAIT for this product or WAIT for CPR.

Quoted from turbo2nr:

Except you edited my words jackhole! I asked to buy the reject with the White in areas that should have been clear. First time I asked that question. Why don't you let people speak for themselves? Maybe someone does want to sell a reject with the tiny flaw in White/vs Clear? I doubt anyone would notice or even care at all.

Oh no! Now I’ve hurt your feelings and you are calling me names. I’m so offended

Did I edit your words? I only quoted your post. You asked two questions in the post... the first was “Ready?” And the second question was about the reject. Maybe you should have read your own post. You seem very sensitive. That’s a good sign of someone who is wrong. I’m sure they can speak for themselves but If they wanted a reject out they’d offer them all the time.

But as for now I’ll back out on this as you are derailing an entire thread to call me names when all I said to you was that you should be patient. Enjoy your wait lol

Quoted from wdennie:

You don't have to do a triple thick coating of clear I just did my Space shuttle with a hard top, sanded, leveled the inserts, and sprayed clear mainly over just
the inserts, to take the dull out of them. stuck on the hard top, and she's never looked or played as good. I don't think I spent more than a total of 3 hours.
With the number of games made, this will never be worth what installing a new CPR PF would cost in time and labor.

Exactly. I can’t justify the dollar amount of replacing the playfield on a $1500 game.

Quoted from bobukcat:

You are living in the past, HS is no longer a $1500 game! https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/78784
Seriously though, even pretty beat up ones are going for over $1500 now, pinflation is crazy!!

I Just bought a fully working high-speed with a blown out play field for $900 last week. I think the pinside average price is $1200.

#134 4 years ago

Honestly you guys are probably right. I know the $900 was a steal of a deal on a fully working machine. $1500 is probably the low end mark these days I guess.
