    Cost! Plan and simple $20-$40 x the entire production run could easily cost them up to 6 figures.

    Quoted from nicoy3k:

    $20-$40? Wtf? Maybe $1 if it’s a metal protector, and like $0.01 if it’s a piece of Mylar

    Easy tiger, I was going off the cost of cliffys, as none of us know what Stern would do, bring it in house? Contract it out? So we don’t know what it would cost them.

    Plus mass production savings only work if every shooter is identical, which they haven’t been as I have had different shooter protectors off cliffy for Deadpool compared to AIQ to Mando.

    Anyway we all know it’s a cost thing. And I would rather buy a cliffy and keep him in business!

    Quoted from EJS:

    Cause by the time your shooter lane has damage you should be thinking about buying their next title?

    Genuinely made me laugh, very good response.

    Quoted from cooked71:

    Clearly you haven’t tried adjusting it on Mandalorian.

    Might be worth taking a look at your game, I don’t have mine on the lowest setting, I’ll check later what it’s on for you and it just about kicks the ball out, its never failed but any lower and it most likely would struggle.
