Centaur and Fathom playfields available

For anyone looking for one of these they just hit CPR's store page today. I'm sure they won't last long.

From memory there was an initial run of Fathom became CPR became CPR. Then there was a large run and 2 small runs to test equipment = 4 Runs. Should be done again if there's interest and enough materials.
From memory there has been a main run and two small runs of Centaur = 3 Runs. Ditto Fathom.

I think CPR are using up materials used on these two playfields and testing new tooling for future runs.

But this run did not sell out to preorders and the waitlist
I cannot imagine the run was that big

IMHO the market is saturated with these two titles

From memory there was only 30 or 40 of each on offer from this run. Pre order slots filled fast but obviously a few dropped out once they were ready to ship. Probably a while before they'd consider running them again.

Smaller than boutique runs. The first mini run was to test new tooling. I think the second mini run was due to a surplus of inserts. When doing a playfield run, you can't just buy enough to do that run, you need thousands.

Fathom and Centaur are rare games, but in the last 5 years, a lot have been imported as importers target these games. Out of all the plastic sets we sell, Fathom and Centaur are the most popular. In fact, we just placed another order for them to be restocked !
