Any Office lovers interested in a Stanley Nickel??
« on: June 11, 2008, 12:51:36 pm »
I'm still in the early stages of building my arcade, but ever since I saw the episode of The Office where Dwight introduced the Schrute Buck and Stanley invented the "Stanley Nickel", I knew I had to have those for my arcade.

However, I'd surely have to buy a minimum amount and pay to have the custom die made. Perhaps if enough people had interest, we could get some minted at a reasonable cost for everyone? Maybe even the fine folk at ArcadeReplay.com would be interested in this?

Just thought I'd throw it out there, hopefully there's interest in something like this!

I havent seen that episode of The American Office, Ill have to look out for it. I havent seem many of the American ones to be honest but I love The Office (original UK version), I must have seen both series and the xmas specials five times or more  :)

Just so you know as regards to tokens the minimum order amount is about 5000 and custom dies are about $200 per side. 5000 tokens are around $700.

As great of an episode as that was, to me it just doesn't fit with an arcade theme.

And I have seen all episodes of both the British and American Office. I love them both, but I like the American version better. I wish they'd do some sort of merger between the 2 companies and combine some of the British characters with the American ones (i.e. relocate them to the Scranton branch).

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I'm an American who can't stand the US version of The Office.

My top favorite shows of all time are all British:

Fawlty Towers
The Office
Spaced
Black Books
Extras
Monty Python's Flying Circus
The Young Ones

Is there really a price for happiness?  ;D

It's a funny idea, and I like the design you came up with. You could also probably find people outside of the BYOAC community who would be interested in them as well, since I'd imagine that a lot of Office fans would love to get their hands on a "Stanley Nickel." I love The Office, and if I end up using tokens I'd love to get a handfull of these at some point.
