PFR does really great work, but where they've gone over the last couple years is super unfortunate. They have had my sample IJ playfields for 2+ years now, and a diamondplated whirlwind playfield of mine for quite some time too.
When I first took them this BSD playfield, they amazed me. I thought I 'knew' it, and they started pointing out other flaws, and I was amazed at their attention to detail and their eye.
This one took only a few months, the 2 Creatures they did for me took about a year each.
If you think this one was saved from the dead, the proto Creech will make your head spin! It came out of Eastern Europe, Croatia I think. And the thing about Eastern Europe is, they get the games that were worn out in Germany first :) It started out like someone drug it home behind the container!
I think I'll do that one next. I've been waiting on one impossible to find part, and I turned some up at IPB when James and Tim were there :) Made a 2nd trip over just to pick em up!
