It would be nice if a company sold single piece cab decals.

    I wonder how much more inventory some of these companies would move if we weren't forced to pay almost $300 in order to obtain one or two cabinet decals needed. I know that sometimes you can find them on eBay, but it's rare. Funny part is that when you do find that piece on eBay, it's probably from a person that was in fact forced to purchase an entire set just to get that single piece needed. I doubt we'll ever see this happen, but it sure would be nice. If somehow some way one of the bigger parts companies out there ever decided to do this, I know it would be much appreciated by most of us pinball enthusiasts. Not to mention a nice boost in steady sales.

    100% agreed. At the very least, they should offer just the aprons as a stand-alone. My cabinet sides are in perfect shape, but the apron always gets rubbed and scuffed from normal play. I need one $50 decal to make my pin look almost new, but I'm not spending $300 for a full set I don't need.

    I could see a lot more sales if they would offer individual pieces.

    "more sales" <> "more profit"...

    that being said, individual plastics would be much appreciated, as long as we are asking for individual pieces...

    I think there are licensing constraints involved here, at least sometimes. And I think these guys would end up with a lot of cabinet sides laying around, as the front is always drilled or beat up, as is the head, but the sides usually fare better.

    But, I remember the head and front decals are sometimes printed on the same 'sheet' of the decal set, too!

    You could venture into the sales by yourself. Split them up increase prices by $15 per decal and start buying empty tubes...
