Pre-order made for 200 brass...
How's it looking? Will there be any tokens?

Turnarcades · « **Reply #41 on:** December 15, 2009, 07:43:24 pm »

Any news, even if it's just "yeah but it's gonna be late January"?

Santoro · « **Reply #42 on:** December 17, 2009, 07:19:40 am »

That's actually a pretty good estimate, we got 5 since the last update, only need 5 more. This is the closest it's ever been. If we get a few more I will just place the order. I don't have to exactly break even, I can take a little risk, I just don't want to be out hundreds of dollars.

Santoro · « **Reply #43 on:** December 22, 2009, 11:52:22 am »

Ok, I will be placing the order the first week in January. Thanks everyone for your patience, I appreciate that you all had the trust to send me hard-earned money to sit on for a few months while we got critical mass. It will be worth it!

I expect that the tokens will get to me the third week in Jan and begin shipping shortly after.

Sweet, Santoro! Good job.

Maybe I missed this but what kind of token will be made? Brass, Nickel or both?

Santoro · « **Reply #45 on:** December 22, 2009, 03:02:06 pm »

Only Brass unfortunately.

Turnarcades · « **Reply #46 on:** December 23, 2009, 08:14:12 am »

It's all good whatever the finish. If these turn out nice I'm probably going to ordera mix of all years and designs for my collection.

Santoro, how would you feel about us offering these as an option with our cabinets? Lots of customers opt for a coin mech so these would be a nice touch for their personalised machines.

JohnEDollar · « **Reply #47 on:** December 23, 2009, 08:46:32 am »

Thanks, Santoro!

We appreciate all your hard work, and dedication, on the "Tokens Project".

ChadTower · « **Reply #48 on:** December 23, 2009, 10:51:41 am »

Brass is fine. I think I ordered nickel but I won't be disappointed if only brass are produced.

Any news?

Havok · « **Reply #50 on:** January 12, 2010, 11:18:09 am »

Probably won't have anything for at least another week.

While you're waiting, can you do something to fix Saab over there? I love my 9-3, and don't want to see them go under...

Kman-Sweden · « **Reply #51 on:** January 13, 2010, 02:46:16 am »

Ha! It's in the hands of the yankees. If GM could wise up and sell saab there might be a chance..

Santoro · « **Reply #52 on:** January 13, 2010, 10:00:15 am »

The order is in, tokens will be arriving here the last week in January and shipping right after that.

Do these coins serve a purpose other than just collecting?

Santoro · « **Reply #55 on:** January 14, 2010, 11:06:39 pm »

Most of us use them in our videogames and pinball machines as a way to recreate the arcade experience a little more accurately.

pmowry · « **Reply #56 on:** January 18, 2010, 11:05:28 pm »

I actually prefer the brass, but I'm not picky. Would it help if I ordered the nickel instead to help people get their orders minted? And can a get a sample from an old batch to adjust my mechs while waiting. Just one in an envelope would do. I could goto my local arcade and pick up a few but I do not know if they would be the same. Besides, the only have ticket despensing games now so I'd hate to even give the a dollar

It's already a go:

As far as adjusting your mechs, just get a Chuck E. Cheese token to use; it's the same size as these will be.

Sweet. I put my order in and I don't even have an arcade yet. I'm in the process of building one. I am finalizing and polishing the design and begin building this weekend

. It's a 4 player showcase and every step of the way will be thoroughly documented, pictured, and videoed for all to see. Friday can't come any sooner.

Havok · « **Reply #59 on:** January 19, 2010, 07:22:01 am »

To save you a flaming when you start documenting your build:

one machine = arcade cabinet
many machines = arcade

And good luck; I look forward to seeing your cabinet come to life!

Oh, I thought it was just the brass that were ordered from the mint. Guess I'll go ahead with a brass order and pass by that pizza place today.

Thanks

Ah yes, arcade cabinet. As I read my post over again I realize the error in my terminology. Though I do plan on turning a second computer into an All-In-One-Console and hook it up to my living room TV with adaptors for 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64 controllers. The software is already in place but funding is lacking for adaptors as it's all going into my MAME 'arcade cabinet', Arcade Project Alpha (that's what I am calling it).

Any UK guys buying in bulk? Would be happy to buy 100!

Santoro · « **Reply #63 on:** January 31, 2010, 10:13:22 am »

Update.

The tokens are scheduled to be shipped on Feb 4 and will probably get here on the tenth or so. I have enough token wrappers left to ship the 1st half of the orders right away (first-in-first-out.) I had ordered more token wrappers from Happ months ago but they were backordered. I checked with Happ Friday and they are supposed to be here around the 20th. Essentially this means there will probably be 2 waves of orders, one starting the second week in February and one toward the end of the month.

I momentarily considered shipping in taped-up baggies like we used to do in order to speed this along but I'd prefer not to do that. Back in those days we had a much higher incidence of packages going missing. I suspect they were swiped by postal workers because the jingly packages sounded like money.

I will post close-up pics as soon as they arrive.

Sweet!

I can hardly wait to receive my Token order!

Can't wait to see the pics as well!

OK, the preorders are live on the website. Thanks.

This is where I placed my order a week or two ago. Don't know if he's sold out but I'm sure its the right place to go.

Santoro · « **Reply #71 on:** February 03, 2010, 12:44:00 pm »

That's the place!

Santoro · « **Reply #72 on:** February 03, 2010, 10:32:13 pm »

It seems the tokens always arrive when I am out of town on business.

Here is a blurrycam pic sent from my wife's phone. I will be back on Friday or Saturday and post a proper photo.

Just a note for the token 'newbies'.... the close -up pics never look as amazing as the tokens in real life. Most of the scratches and imperfections in the pic are invisible to the naked eye. Looking at the pictures above without clicking to make them full size is a much better representation of what they look like.

ChadTower · « **Reply #78 on:** February 06, 2010, 09:01:21 pm »

He's right, they always come looking minty fresh and fantastic. Dude has been supplying us for years and hasn't once let us down. I have bought every year and never been disappointed.

walterg74 · « **Reply #79 on:** February 07, 2010, 02:59:03 pm »

Hey, a couple of noob questions...

1) Are these tokens "compatible" with the coin comparison device they have fir sale at ultimarc?
2) If above is yes, are there any "in stock" if I were to place an order?
3) Again, if above is yes, do you know (aproximately) how long it would take for the order to arrive to Houston, TX ?

Thanks!
