Santoro:
I am getting in new 'generic tokens' at the same time as these, see here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=57548.0 for details.

excerpt:
If you have ordered 2006 BYOAC tokens and want to order some of the new "Arcade Memories" tokens on top of that order, I will refund duplicated shipping money if I am able to fit both of your orders in one package.  Please be sure to include comments on your new token order so we know to make note of it!  I am sorry, I cannot replace previously ordered tokens with the new ones because that would put me in the red on the 2006 BYOAC tokens.  I just broke even on those.
MYX:
Status update on the 2006 tokens we already ordered?
Santoro:
The mint is driving me crazy. 

I was supposed to have lead proofs in hand mid-last week, I just called for an update and they assured me that the proofs will be done tomorrow and they will overnight them to me so I will have them Thursday.  Assuming they look OK and I say 'go,' they will take 5-7 business days to make.  Add anther 2-3 for shipping so we are still two weeks away from the point where I will be in a position to start shipping. 

I will scan/photograph the proofs and post it here as soon as I get them. 

Thankfully we have purchased a highfalutin new coin counter so it is no longer a major family project to accurately count tens of thousands of tokens.  We have also made dramatic improvements to how we pack and ship them.  Instead of using newspaper and like 1/4 roll of clear packing tape, we will be rolling the tokens and putting them inside padded envelopes, and then putting that envelope inside whatever shipping package is required.

This should almost put an end to missing/delayed international token orders.  We lost a few orders over the years and my theory is that the jingling attracted thieves/customs/etc.

The good news is that it won't take nearly as long to pack and ship as it has in the past.  The bad news is that far-off customers won't be able to enjoy sections of my local small-town newspaper.

I truly do appreciate the patience of all you that put hard-earned money up for the tokens only to be asked to wait.  It's almost over.
