First: Domain names are case insensitive, therefore WWW.MAME.NET is just as valid as www.mame.net. so you should use whichever looks the best.

Second: These are gonna be awesome, I cannot wait to get my hands on them!

I just want to comment on how complementary the two sides are. Having two artists go at it doesn't always work out this great. I really can't wait for a release of these.

Flinkly · « **Reply #122 on:** October 21, 2004, 12:40:49 pm »

these tokens look great if we go with the front and back "concept" artwork. you guys do astounding work. i'd keep the url in caps myself, since everything else is caps. i'm up for buying 200 tokens if we go with this design. so what is the estimated release date? and is everyone ok with the present design? (you should be, they're awesome)

Santoro · « **Reply #123 on:** October 21, 2004, 12:45:29 pm »

I reset the Poll, please re-vote now that you have seen the preliminary artwork. I need to get a flavor for how many to order. They would probably be ready in the second week of Nov.

Thanks.

I don't think it reset properly... I can't vote again.

Ditto that

Santoro · « **Reply #126 on:** October 21, 2004, 01:01:09 pm »

Yeah, I found that too. I will open a new poll in Buy/sell/trade - that is probably the best place for it anyway.

I like it...just one question/suggestion.....

What about putting a year on it?

starting this design as the 2005 edition

These aren't meant to be an annual series like the BYOAC tokens, so I'm sure he doesn't want to pay for a new die every year...

missioncontrol · « **Reply #130 on:** October 21, 2004, 02:18:18 pm »

oops didn't think about the die charge....

Captain Rotundo · « **Reply #131 on:** October 21, 2004, 02:54:52 pm »

I still think a year should be included. I didn't know that the BYOAC tokens are supposed to be yearly, but I just think a coin should have a year. My question is does it have to have "no cash value" on it?

Good point, seems like its there just to fill space, its not as if you can mistake it for real money.

Hoagie_one · « **Reply #133 on:** October 21, 2004, 03:41:26 pm »

that just makes it feel like a traditional token to me. All tokens should have than IMO

Santoro · « **Reply #134 on:** October 21, 2004, 03:57:51 pm »

Yeah, that is why I asked for it to be on there. Any 'real' token has it.

Santoro · « **Reply #135 on:** October 21, 2004, 09:09:21 pm »

I changed my mind about the new poll, I am going to start taking pre-orders at the end of next week, which will give me an idea of how many tokens to order.

That will also give me some time to re-work the website to accept the preorders and post some pointers at other forums and Usenet.

Leave some room for eBay... I'll bet you sell a bunch there!

Santoro · « **Reply #137 on:** October 21, 2004, 09:43:59 pm »

I will - I only expect about 1/2 of the total volume to come from here.

Hoagie_one · « **Reply #138 on:** October 21, 2004, 11:44:11 pm »

whats the pricing, or did i just miss it?

Santoro · « **Reply #139 on:** October 21, 2004, 11:52:29 pm »

Pricing will be very close to the BYOAC token pricing. I might up the price tiny bit and use my Paypal merchant account for everythng. Maintaining the two pricing structures was a pain. The paypal merchant account has a cart feature that will make it a lot easier to offer the different combinations of tokens.

None of that is in stone yet though. I am still doing the math.

See my sig for the BYOAC token details.

GGKoul · « **Reply #140 on:** October 23, 2004, 12:14:12 am »

PLEASE Save me 100 of each.

aumameman · « **Reply #141 on:** October 23, 2004, 12:49:04 am »

Put me down for 200 of each. I dont care how much the postage is to get here in Australia. You guys RULE!!!

MAME FOREVER

JustMichael · « **Reply #142 on:** October 27, 2004, 06:17:30 am »

When the new ones are ready I'll take 100 of each...

MinerAl · « **Reply #143 on:** November 01, 2004, 01:21:38 pm »

Santoro,

Could you put the latest blingified pics in the first post? It took me nearly 2 precious minutes of my life to scroll through the 4 pages of this thread

These look great!

willyum · « **Reply #144 on:** November 01, 2004, 11:16:42 pm »

I know most of you guys build your own cabs, but I'm not talented in thoes ways.....does anyone know if these tokens will fit the mechs that will come in my slikstik cab. I'm pretty sure it's happs mechs for the quarter size but I don't hace my cab yet and I'm pretty sure these tokens will sell out quick so I'd like to order early before the nickle ones are gone.......however I don't want to also have to spend an extra $50 - $75 to change out my mechs.

Anyone know about the slikstik mechs.

Breaker · « **Reply #145 on:** November 01, 2004, 11:30:57 pm »

Hi Santoro,

Just wondering if you're taking pre-orders yet?

Cheers.

Anyone know about the slikstik mechs.

The SlikStik coin door is a standard Happ door with .25 coin mechs. You'd need to order .984 token mechs from Happs (they sell them for about $13 each, and you'll need two.)

It's a cinch to swap out the mechs, btw.

Kevin

willyum · « **Reply #147 on:** November 02, 2004, 11:27:47 am »

They might have just up'ed the price cause they're $20 bucks now. The tokens are for me, I wan't to still be able to have my guest put in real money.doesn't look like I'll be able to do both. Thanx for the info.

whammoed · « **Reply #148 on:** November 02, 2004, 11:37:16 am »

happs also has a mech that accepts both
or there are hacks you can do to your existing mechs to make them accept tokens...do a search for it here

KevSteele · « **Reply #149 on:** November 02, 2004, 12:46:05 pm »

Here's the URL for the $14.10 (not $13) mechs:

http://www.happcontrols.com/coindoors/42311300.htm

Like whammoed mentioned, you can also hack a .25 mech to accept both (actually, it will then accept almost any coin). Do a search on the forums here - someone posted instructions a while back.

Kevin

willyum · « **Reply #150 on:** November 02, 2004, 02:28:48 pm »

Yeah, I'm sorry, I found this a little while ago. The 'HOW-TO'
http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=19200

and I'm not sure what the differences on the 2 mechs are but I like the price you found better. Wierd, they're both in the happs site, maybe one has better parts. this is the $20 (size .984).
http://www.happcontrols.com/wp/item_search.html?item-no=42-3053-00

Either way I think I'll just try the mod. Thanx guys, once again I'm back in the race for tokens.

BY THE WAY....Kevin, thanks for the help with the other stuff over the last couple of weeks. I spoke to Chris this morning and ordered the cabinet with my custom SS Classic with the altered layout you helped me with. I also ordered that new MAME set from ArcadeLover. He said they would ship today. Thanx

willyum · « **Reply #151 on:** November 02, 2004, 02:32:57 pm »

That link didn't work.....maybe this (also I think this one is all metal parts....

KevSteele · « **Reply #152 on:** November 02, 2004, 04:36:11 pm »

I just tried clicking on the link I posted - it works fine for me. It's the $14 black plastic coin mech.

The metal will work as well, just more expensive. If you're looking to just mod your existing mechs, there's no need to buy anything.

Kevin

willyum · « **Reply #153 on:** November 02, 2004, 05:06:16 pm »

No, not your link 'wasn't working', MY link wasn't working.....I corrected my link and reposted with the first mech that I found which had the higher price. I was showing you the 'wrong' one....yours was fine.

dphirschler · « **Reply #154 on:** November 06, 2004, 11:33:18 pm »

Put me down for 200-400 tokens depending on the final price.

Darryl

GGKoul · « **Reply #155 on:** November 08, 2004, 03:50:49 pm »

Any updates?

Santoro · « **Reply #156 on:** November 08, 2004, 05:08:55 pm »

I am waiting one last minor change on the back, then the order should go in in the next day or two. Two weeks from then will be token time -Woohoo!

I will work on the new website this week to accept orders. Work has been busier than usual, I wanted to have that done by now. I registered Arcadetokens.com - I will be using that site as my base for these tokens.

Santoro · « **Reply #157 on:** November 09, 2004, 09:00:42 pm »

OK, the order was placed.

Best case, 2 weeks until they are ready, worst case is 3 weeks. I will try really hard to have the ordering site functional by this weekend.

Thanks to all for your patience, the three of us have been very busy.

pointdablame · « **Reply #158 on:** November 09, 2004, 11:36:07 pm »

Oh, I'm getting excited.

PedroSilva · « **Reply #159 on:** November 10, 2004, 05:31:48 am »

Could you please post the final design ?
