Mini Arcade Cabs. Very mini
<< < (2/4) > >>
BobA:
Those cabs are really small.  The pins are cute too.   Would probably fit in miniature rail way buildings depending on the scale.  Only one shape so I guess they only went for one run of pieces (cheaper that way) and I noticed that some of the pins are no longer available.  Probably got a letter from the pin manufacturer.
CrazyKongFan:
They're O scale (1:48). Do you really think someones going to go thru the expense/trouble of making a bunch of different cabs for something most people wouldn't even notice? They'd work great in a detailed store or building interior on an O scale layout. You'd have to look really close in that case anyway to even notice. (I do modeling too, but I'm into HO, which is nearly half the size, so they'd be way too big...if they did them in HO scale though, I'd get a few)

Point taken, but then if you're aiming to sell them and theme them like originals at all then maybe they should have. They're obviously aimed at enthusiasts else they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of replicating the artwork at all, they could have just made a plain shell if it was just to be aimed at average model town makers.

Personally not arsed either way. Cool idea, but I can think of better memorabilia for my money.

I just picked up an LCD photo keychain for $5. Would fit nicely in one of these. Loaded up with screen shots, would look authentic!

That is a cool idea.  Photos if/when you do it.
