Title: Pink IL buttons
Post by: armi0024 on May 02, 2012, 12:05:31 am
Nep saw this on KLOV and suggested I post over here.  We have been working with IL on some custom colors.  I was thinking of doing a pink to match T-molding.com's pink Ms Pac t-molding.  Let me know if you are interested.  If we get enough interest we will open up a presale on the site at a discounted price before we stock them.

To clarify, do you want IL concave pink buttons to match Ms Pac pink

Malenko wants some and Darren Harris may too.  In case they don't see this thread, you may want to PM them and hope they see it.

Darren posted about it in a couple of threads though it has been awhile ago now.  No idea if he still does but I'm sure he would appreciate a message from you either way.

One of them:

Pink bats would be cool, but may not happen.... If they made me buy 500 pink Eurosticks we'd probably go bust.... but I will ask

For someone that really wants something like bat tops in an unavailable color, you might be able to form them out of sugru (rubbery when dry) or fimo (hard), but you'd have to have some patience and skill (if I tried it I know they'd look like crap).

If a hard material is ok, you might be able to get someone to turn some pink acrylic on a lathe and get you some custom bat tops.  I guess you'd have to find a threaded insert to epoxy in there but I don't think that would be too hard.  A guy I ran into over on a shaving forum makes custom shaving brushes and ink pens out of pretty much any material you like on a lathe, his results look good and the prices really don't seem that bad for custom work.  Here's a link, I bet he could help you out if you dropped him a line...

He can also do laser engraving on his products, so that opens up some possibilities too...

I can just post it over here :)
OK, I have product set up, and things are ready to move....  I am padding the ship date and saying December 10th, although I would expect it to be well before this. I figure this will give people time for Xmas orders/surprises.

Presales are open, anything you order will be held until the order is complete, then shipped.  If you need partials shipped early, please order separately.  We are only getting a limited supply.  If these sell out we MAY get another batch, but we can not promise this will happen.  Margins are these aren't inspirational, we are doing it more because it was fun and we could :)

Buttons are 2 with Zippy, 3 with Cherry, 3.50 with Rollie Leafs

So what's the magic number on these? Total made of each?

couple questions before I buy, whats the shipping cost going to be for  ~30 buttons shipped to 19702? and how many are available. concave is the buttons are arc in, and not arced out (like water surface tension)

Right now the plan is 500 concave, classic style button, like a cup on top
100, bump on top

Shipping, some where from 20-30 it converts from 6 to 12 shipping in the US.  If you break $100, use the forums code for free shipping.
