[WaRpEd]

 
Just ordered 500 nickel these Rock!

[Cornchip]

   I can't wait to get these tokens!!! Thanks Santoro.   

[GadgetGeek]

I had a mailbox full of shiny goodness today.  Sweet.  Thanks again.

[bfauska]

Got my 2007 brass today and I've already finished converting my quarter mechs to both token and quarter. Thanks Santoro for the great shipping of a great product. Thank you Mr. P for a great design, these things turned out beautiful. Now I can ditch the credit buttons on the next version of my CP.

[Pixelhugger]

Got mine. The mint did a better job than I would have imagined with all the intricacies. Mr. C's design is absolutely stunning in metal! GREAT JOB!!  Thanks Santoro!

[missioncontrol]

I got mine in the other day.... they are awesome

[Chris]

These things are a work of art.  Is it just me or is the mint getting better?  I was looking at the "How Retro Can You Go?" ribbon and was just amazed at how such tiny details came out.  The brass also seems lighter and brighter than the older BYOAC tokens, even the ones I preserved in airtight capsules.

A job well done by everyone involved!

[tumult]

tokens received and, as usual, they are perfectly amazing.  Count me in for next year and thanks!!!

Is it just me or is the mint getting better?

Could be... I was looking at all four years side by side when these arrived and the details are far clearer in the 2007 than in any previous year.

[mr.Curmudgeon]

Just got back from visiting family for the holiday when, much to my surprise, Santa had dropped off the tokens at my house!!
Wow! The mint did an amazing job rendering these things in metal. I thought for sure the detail would be too much, but it looks like they rose to the challenge. I'm really pleased (and I'm usually a pretty picky bastard).

I'm so happy with them I want to use tokens to pay for everything from now on. 

Kudos Santoro and thanks again for bringing these to the community on a yearly basis!   

[Cornchip]

    Picked mine up this afternoon. Amazing work on the tokens. Thanks to all who made this project possible.  I'm glad that I have tokens to match my project this year (the sprocket details are great!).

Got a late Christmas present when I got back home today, and they look a LOT better than I'd ever let myself hope they would. Great job, and thanks Dave!

[JoyMonkey]

I also just got home from vacation and found these in the mail-box. I must have gotten a bad batch or something, they look terrible.


 
Nah, just kidding - the fine detail on these is just frickin amazing! Thanks Santoro, mr.C and Pixelhugger!

(Now where's the 2008 thread?)

[vorghagen]

Whoohoo! My 200 brass tokens arrived today!!!  ..............well, 198 of them did.
It looks like customs opened up one of the rolls to check on contents and then decided to pocket two of these lovely little coins, can't blame them really, they're gorgeous.

I ordered 200 '06 and 200 '07 tokens. Got 7 unopened rolls, one torn roll package and 48 loose tokens. Still over the moon with these. Bring on the '08 threads, since it is now '08.

Thanks Santoro.
Thanks Mr. Curmudgeon.
Thanks Pixelhugger.
 

[Sizzler]

Whoohoo! My 200 brass tokens arrived today!!!

Can I ask when you placed your order?

Thanx

[Santoro]

Sizzler, I assume you are asking because you are awaiting a shipment - I have four orders shipping out tomorrow, we got a little backed up due to the holidays.  They usually take 2-3 business days to arrive after shipping (to the US.) 

Sorry for the wait... if you were indeed waiting. 

[ChadTower]

All of these people have ordered from him and apparently few of them have given him any trader feedback... this feature is only useful if people actually make use of it.

Thanks Santoro.  Didn't want to bug you and just figured I'd see what the tunraround time was.   Looking forward to seeing these in person.
Thanks

I would have left feedback, but I never heard of the feature until your post. And when I tried just now, I'm not allowed...probably because of a low post count.

Until I can add proper feedback, the post above will have to do. And now I'm one post closer to being able to leave feedback.

Just returned from a vacation and a big envelope with tokens greeted me 

The tokens are (again) simply stunning. The design is great and I like the clean shiny look. Really does look like the mint is getting even better than before. These tokens look really detailed en precise.

[Namco]

Is there any way I can pay for 200 nickel, but get 100 2007 nickel and 100 2006 nickel?

[quarterback]

Is there any way I can pay for 200 nickel, but get 100 2007 nickel and 100 2006 nickel?

Are there 2006 Nickel available?

I don't see them: http://www.arcadereplay.com/index.php?cPath=27_31

[Namco]

Oops, nevermind  I must've been contemplating 100 of each in Brass in the past, but since I've decided to go Nickel. Not sure I need 200 though. The holy grail would be to have 20 of each year in nickel, but alas, I've learned about them too late.

I'm pretty sure I'll just place a 200 order in nickel. The layer of coins in the coinbox will provide that satisfying KerPlink sound that I've been looking for

EDIT: Now I've figured out what I was thinking. The question is, can I get 100 of the Mame nickel tokens and 100 of the 2007 BYOAC nickel tokens?

[chadius]

So, once all the preorders are filled is there any chance of the site having a 25/25 or 50/50 brass/nickel order option?

If not, is there any other lurkers out there like me who only need a few and would like to split an order?

Thanks in advance,
Chad

[stan2323]

I would like to get 25/25 to 100/100.  I am new to the form so I am thinking that they would be all sold.  If not count me in for what ever I can get up to 100/100.

Anyone been able to reach Santoro recently?

I've tried ping'ing him through the arcadetokens.com website twice and fired him a PM a few days back too, but haven't heard anything from him.

Trying to track down whether an order my dad placed back in early December shipped.  Was intended as an Xmas present and although I expected it to get held up in the post and not arrive until January, I didn't think it would've taken this long.

[Santoro]

Bleargh,

I just emailed you.  There was a SNAFU on my end last month, compounded with business travel making it hard to get to my emails.  I'll make it right. 

Sorry for the screw-up.

Dave

Appreciate the note.  Got your e-mail, and have replied.

Thanks Santoro!

[bleargh]

Santoro, picked up my package at the post office today (spent a week on the US side of the border, then three days on the CAD side, got the note in the mailbox yesterday).

WOW!

Thems some schweet looking tokens in there... 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and MAME tokens.  Wait, what's that?  Beer mugs?!  W00t!  Quick!  To the frothy malt refreshments!

Wanted to say "Thanks!" for filling in the order due to things getting held up and delayed.  Consider your apology happily accepted.

Hmmm... guess I should go send a "thank you" note to my dad for ordering them for me... 

Happy happy!

[fixedpigs]

Thems some schweet looking tokens in there... 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and MAME tokens. 

this gives me an idea...any possibility for a mixture of tokens...?
like an option for two hundred...fifty of each year...?

AFAIK, Santora has to order these in sets of 10,000.  Getting every year reminted (50,000 tokens) and then selling them in small quantities is lose/lose and would inevitably leave him financially in the hole with a ton of tokens at his home.

[Santoro]

Small lots and sample packs are suggested often.  I am always torn because in terms of customer satisfaction I want to give the people what they want. 

The harsher business reality is what QB just said - Many people buy tokens from me for collecting purposes.  Combined with orders from those that actually use them in cabinets I usually have just enough tokens to enable a 10,000 token order.

If I were to offer samplers and small lots I estimate that 30% of my larger lot orders would switch to smaller ones.  In turn I wouldn't be able to order new tokens without being stuck with a LOT of excess inventory.

It's a dilemma.  Until I find a lower-risk solution, I need to keep the larger minimum orders.

[Malenko]

whats the minimum to order?

[Santoro]

100 for previous years, 200 for current.

[Encryptor]

Are the 2007 Brass tokens all gone?


Encryptor

[Santoro]

Just for now.   1700 of them were defective and go back to the mint tomorrow.  When I get the replacements I'll put them back on the site.  It may take a few weeks.

[Encryptor]

OK thanks.

Encryptor

[fano78]

Just put in an order for 200 

[fano78]

Tokens have arrived and my goodness, they are BEAUTIFUL!!!  Thanks so much!!! 

[TheShanMan]

Santoro,

I PM'ed you a question and also emailed it to the email listed on the website. That was middle of last week IIRC but I haven't heard back yet. Let me know if you didn't get it or something. I'm waiting on an answer before placing my order.

Thanks!
