Title: HELP Please. Biggs Bunny repro playfields anywhere ? Avail ?
Post by: Caveoftreasures on November 26, 2014, 07:37:24 PM
I am asking if anyone knows if any company are reproducing the Sytem 11 Bugs Bunny Birthday Bash pinball. I am looking for a few brand new Bugs Bunny playfields. Do u know anyone who has the or may have them in stock ?

Any advice would be appreciated very much.

Kind regards, Brett

I have not heard of anyone doing them
nor can I imagine they will
not a popular game amongst collectors, and the licensing costs I would think would be high

Try contacting Rick at Planetary, or Kevin at CPR. I don't know, but I would not be surprised if it did happen as there is a lot of titles that are in the pipeworks.

Failing that - What about having your current playfield refreshed and clearcoated - it would look just as good.

I would be sending you 2 x Bugs Bunny machines to do both at once. Use one and strip and fully do. Put back together using the first untouched game, then repeat process on the next Bugs Bunny.
Would make it easier for the person doing the both of them.
Would you or Platinum take these on Nino. Both games work well. Nothing to fix just strip playfields for paint work here and there.
Cabinets don't need anything on either, just playfields touch ups only.

Send to you at APR or send to Platinum ?

What should I do Nino ?

Platinum take playfields only. So if you were to send them the blank playfields, then I don't get involved as you can ship direct.

If there is any work required - ie - strip the machine and then re assemble after he playfields are restored, then the games come to APR. We project manage the restoration and effectively outsource the playfield work.

Both machines to you at APR would be the answer.
You could take out playfields n give to Platinum.

Once they finish stripping and touching up and clear coating the playfields, you could then receive the populated playfields and fit to machines , test n ship etc. Unless you want to strip and repopulate playfields.
Either way, if APR are traffic controlling and managing it all, I can't go wrong.

Now, just when to find out when there is a schedule spot on the calendar ?

Planetary Pinball has a woeful elcheapo website.
Couldn't find a Bugs Bunny anything on their site ?
If anyone has a link or a lead on a Bugs Bunny Playfield please let me know.

Thanks !

Planetary have/had one. Playfields are constantly being listed to their website as they are pulled out of the racks and checked over.

You have excellent eyes. I appreciate your efforts.

I have emailed Rick/owner and have asked for a Bugs Bunny or a Gilligans Playfield plus a few extras.
If anyone sees a Black Knight 2000 backglass in their travels I am also wanting one.
There was a seller on ebay but he refuses to send overseas. Really need a USA pinhead to buy it and send it with my money. Automated Services was the company at last checking.

So close, yet so far away. Lol

Thanks Pinsanity for the heads up.  ^^^
