Title: Alien Poker Backglass
Post by: winteriscoming on October 23, 2014, 01:54:03 PM
It would be awesome if you were able to find the Alien Poker backglass screens and do a run of those.  These are very much needed by some Alien Poker fans.

Thanks for starting a run on Gorgar!

Thanks,
Jim

We are now in process on the Alien Poker backglass and plastic sets ...


Not sure how soon they will be done, but hopefully 1-3 months.

Any updates on the Alien Poker backglass?  Is there a pre-order/sign-up page like there was for Gorgar?  It was nice getting an email when they were available and I'm hoping the same happens for this one.

Thanks!

Should be end of the month or early August ... we won't be doing pre-orders, will just put them on the site when they are here.

I talked to supplier today, they are going to press (silkscreen that is) next week and take about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks to be done, then get a shipment to me ... so sounds around the end of the month early august.

This is music to my eyes! I've been waiting about 6 years for Alien Poker glasses to be done. I think there were rumblings of this getting started back in '10 from CPR. Beautiful news! I certainly want to be contacted when they are available and will keep an eye on the site here if I remember to do so! Just ordered a Silverball Mania and some AP plastics set today too. Great stuff!

Here's to hoping that Flash and Contact are in the pipes somewhere as well..... not sure if Contact would ever be made, but there has got to be a demand for Flash at such a high production of almost 20K..... :) I'll take 2 on the Flash.... :)

Few days delay, they are screening this week (now) ... just got a picture today of the first couple of layers. Will post when I get one that has most or all of the layers.

there are LOTS of colors on this backglass ...

Post by: winteriscoming on August 22, 2016, 11:53:34 PM
Looking great!


Would you be willing to share pics of some of the original films? I think that would be cool to see if not too much trouble.


Are they represented as a black image of each layer on its own page? Is there other info along with them like layer order and pantone colors?



Title: Re: Alien Poker Backglass
Post by: PPS on August 23, 2016, 12:25:59 AM
Sure, we can try to get some pictures when they come back to us.


There is a film for each color. I believe we started with the original drawn films (whitish film with ruby red marker) ... and then ultimately converted to film positives (which are the black/clear films).


The filmsets are usually numbered in order as well as have (usually) pantone colors called out on each layer.

Post by: PPS on August 25, 2016, 01:01:45 PM
I've put Alien Poker backglass on the site - is in transit now and should be shipping starting next Friday, so if anyone wants to order they can do so, just be advised they won't ship out until late next week and the following week.


Also more Gorgar and Blackout are in the same shipment as well.
Title: Re: Alien Poker Backglass
Post by: steadyhaste on August 25, 2016, 04:59:41 PM
Awesome! Just ordered the AP glass. Already replaced my Gorgar and Blackout. :)

Ordering mine this week ...just need to add something to order seems like a shame to order 1 thing.

Got mine in the mail this week. Looks beautiful! Now it's time to get excited about this game I've had sitting in the back of the shop for years. New back glass, new plastics, and picked up an overlay for the play field. Ready to rock on this one! :)

Thanks guys!

I received mine yesterday!  Thanks for running these, Rick.

I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to install it, but I currently have my original glass out and it's a night and day comparison between the 2.  My original has so many flakes and entire spots missing that I've grown used to seeing, that the new one almost looks incorrect for not having the same flakes! ;)   

It's funny, I never noticed that the female alien has a mirrored upper lip and almost thought it was a new addition to the repro, but low and behold, through all the missing flakes there's evidence of that in my original.  ;D

Thanks again for helping to make my Alien Poker awesome!
