Or is nickel just as pricey?

Nickel is just nickel-plated brass.

Ok, so why did last years sell out so quickly, yet there's such a surplus of previous years / other designs still?  Is it just a matter of how popular the design is?

I believe all the previous years sold out fairly quickly as well, and Santoro's since done a second run on those that have stock available again.  Last year's only got the one run.  (so far?)

The AC1000 is a very small changer.

The ritual now demands I ask you if it works, how much the free shipping is, and also, does it work?

Contact the distributor directly for more information.

It's a matter of the minimum orders.. the lowest volume for 'reasonable' pricing is at the 10K or greater level.  When the 2007 tokens are made I will have the option to order a few thousand of the 2006 ones again. When I ordered the 06 tokens I was able to order some more 2005 & Mame tokens.

Another complicating factor is that there is a minimum of 5K for nickel plating.

I obviously have certain other interests in this configuration  ;D , but the universal appeal of the design might be better than that of some of the previous offerings.

Hmm, this might be possible.. I will send a request to the Mamedevs.  The old MAME tokens were made prior to the current trademark restrictions.  (edit: but I did have permision from Santeri Saarimaa.)

Havok:

Yeah, I missed out on last year's run -  :banghead: Which sucks, since it's my favorite design so far...

I'm ready for this year, and I have a slogan ready for when we get to that part.
