For those interested, there is a heap of new playfields up on the CPR preorder list.

Thanks for the link Adam,  great to see so many titles in the pipeline!

cheers for the heads up, jumped on the list for a skateball

how does it work for playfields to come via Nino, do we email register with CPR and then notify them or Nino?

[Strangeways]

CPR will continue the current pre order process - you register your interest on the playfields and they collate the requests and work out the schedule. You pay CPR when ready.

We have flagged the idea of APR selling playfields for all titles in the future. The recent releases and possible releases may be an opportunity for this to happen, but not at this stage.

What customers can do - is have the playfields sent to me. This has worked for pinheads who can't be home for delivery, or to save $ on shipping.

Hopefully Old Chicago makes the pre order list - that's the barrow I've been pushing for 2 years !

I just registered on their Whirlwind list then.  Given I'm in Perth would any shipping costs saved by having it shipped to you Nino then be eaten up by the shipping to WA?

Just wondering as I don't know how much cheaper you can get shipping compared to straight delivery from CPR to me?

No financial advantage to send to me directly. You could pair up with another collector and save a lot on postage.

Sending to me is good for local pickup, or if I'm restoring that title for a customer.

I am surprised that they have listed so many new titles
still a few there that were announced 18 moths ago

TAF hits the inevitable production delay due to a shortage of inserts.

TOTAN I recall was 5 years from original announcement to release last year due to not having a blue lightning insert piece.

With Skateball being there, surely a RADICAL would be um RADICAL! I would be all over that in a heart beat. My play field rests are far from perfect

When batches of playfields are shipped from CPR to APR, what's a rough average of shipping cost per playfield?
I'm thinking of signing up on a preorder for a playfield and am just wondering what the total ball park landed cost might be.
Thanks.

Playfields are not part of our Distributorship (yet). We won't be distributing the playfields on the pre order list. You need to deal with CPR direct for playfields. If members were to organize a group buy and have them sent (2 in each box), then you will save some $ on shipping. If a customer has a game in the resto queue, then the playfield can be sent to us. If you want playfields sent to us as there's no one home during the day to accept the playfields - send them here and pick them up on Saturdays.

Presumably there would be GST implications with this method? Two in a box would definitely push it well over the $1000 GST low value threshold.

Ah ok, thanks. Silly me only looked at CPRs pre-order page yesterday without seeing they had shipping prices listed on their store page.

Yeah, good point. Although two people that have paid separately for their playfields might not get hit if they've shipped together?? Not sure..

Any GST is calculated when arrives here so the box total plus shipping, won't matter who paid. Getting hard to do these under $1k even for one with shipping now. That said, they are not always picked up. My last one was just over $1k with shipping but got through without a GST bill.

This has been my experience also. Some get through, some don't.
