I don't think I'm going to get AC/DC do to this. Too many problems with the games leaving the factory plus bad decals. I hope JJP is reading this so they don't make the same mistakes. I sent Stern an email I was unhappy about the decals and have not received a reply yet but I'm sure they'll tell me it's normal.
Quoted from TaylorVA:You don't understand why people are upset their 6500 dollar pin has decal wrinkling or bubbling after 1-2 weeks? Whiners?
The attitude that sucks is not that of people who are disappointed but that of those that just say to bend over and take it. Give me a f'ing break.

I was perfectly fine with the screened cabs. How think is the felt you guys are using? Is it abrasive at all or smooth?
It's just extremely disappointing to see the decals doing this. I have never had a problem with any of my other games including decaled Bally/WMS games.
The decal job sucks and the decals suck that they used. I have not had a problem yet with mine and I did use pincab protectors. When I installed them I made sure the legs and protector where all the way pushed up. If you have them down they will work there way up after time and moving of the pin. I may switch them to felt.
Stern responded back to me and wanted to see some pics.
Quoted from McCune:TomGWI said:The decals appear nice but are so thin it's ridiculous. I used the Pincab plastic protectors and got bubbling,
This is where you went wrong.. Pincab protectors destroy decals. They work damn good for covering damage on old games.
Sorry your game is torn up.

Yeah, thought I would be protecting the game, obviously not the case. I have them on most of my games and don't have anything like this on my Bally/Wms or Prior Sterns.
Quoted from Benaar:Got a call from Stern today. They're sending me new decals, which is a nice gesture. I'm thinking I'll probably just keep 'em as spares for the time being. If I do put them on at some point I will definitely trim them to the right size so they're not under the legs.
Should've done that to start with I guess.
I emailed them a week ago and got a response. They wanted pics and my address but never heard back. Sent a followup email yesterday and haven't heard anything.

Just wanted to let everyone know. Thought it was nice that Stern sent me a brand new cabinet decal set for Transformers.
Quoted from Krajkerjac:Really? Stern is supporting an after market product tearing the decals?
That, in itself, is ridiculous.
I understand that the decals are thin, but YOU applied the pincab protectors and THOSE are what caused the issue. More power to you...
Hey I told them about the pincab protectors. If I hadn't put them on it could have been worse. The cabinet protectors are made for "Protection". I have them on all my pins and guess what, none of them even have a scratch or blemish on them. So tell me what I did wrong.
Quoted from Krajkerjac:That's just it. They are not made for protection. They are used to cover up torn/ripped decals. Period.
I'd be surprised if you took them off your other games what you would find...
Not trying to argue with anyone, just stating what I have seen.
What did you do wrong? Nothing.
I get your point. I have actually taken them off on a few games since Transformers and my other pins didn't have any damage. Just stating a fact.
