Set of normal Stern legs is £120 off PH.
Just those Batman side rails on Marco Specialties shipped to UK in normal black is £600
I thought for new hardware, power coated and shipped to UK as it's heavy the price is a bargain.

I don't get these numbers sometimes, it's like they use a random number generator. AFAIK, from the US, the charge should have been UK import VAT @20% (20% of invoice value + shipping + any admin fee the courier added). Pins are zero-rated for import duty, so nothing to pay there (I'm making an assumption that pin parts are classed under the same commodity code as pinball machines here). How they get that lot to what they charged you is mysterious to say the least!

Yeah mental isn't it..handling fee was £12.20..
Do you have a breakdown of what they charged for the custom rail without powder coat?
OP

No as I wanted it as the LE/SLE armour.

Wow that side rails is £600??? Must be a metal / paint shop in the U.K. which can laser cut and bend / spray a bit of metal cheaper than that
By the time you pay their inflated shipping cost and import charge bumming it's ridiculous.

The price includes new legs, hinges and lockdown bar as well. Take that into consideration.Wow that side rails is £600??? Must be a metal / paint shop in the U.K. which can laser cut and bend / spray a bit of metal cheaper than that
Ah ok, not as bad as I thought lol

To be clear the Pinball Refinery price, not the Marco one!
A lot of manufacturers / mod makers bumming the buyers in the pinball world

I stuck @Colywobbles Batman logo and selector on the lockdown bar today. Shame I can't set it all up and put the armour on yet.

is the 905 including the cost of the side armour? still feels pricey. The Batman rails were $249 originally I seem to remember.
$60 legs
$100 lock bar
$330 batman
$45 hinges
And they just use prismatic to do the powder coating... Did you get the plunger holder done also?
I had a set of all brand new Elvira armour with powder coasting for $400 from Robert in the US inc shipping, I was supposed to pick it up at TPF but covid happened.

Yeah the $905 included all new armour, and $205 of it was shipping.
Not sure why powder coaters over here can’t do big metaflake.
I asked my guy and said no.
