I was wondering how many other collectors make or buy custom keychains for their machines? Me, for every machine I own, I buy a keychain from these guys: www.ArcadeTees.com
-
Gasp! An Indiana Jones Keychain with "Atari System 1" on it. I MUST POSSESS IT! :o
-
Wow, nice stuff. Must have been a real job to get all those artwork licenses! ;)
-
I do, sort of.
-
They don't have Radical Radial, or Vindicators, which are the two dedicateds I have at the moment.
That, and I still need locks for the keys to work in, so I guess I should work on that first, shouldn't I?
-
They're decent keychains, but you could make one for cheaper than that probably. They look like they're using the standard flip-open DIY keychain cases that you can pick up 10 for a dollar at a dollar store. Then just print up whatever artwork you want, put it inside, and you've got the exact same thing.
-
I don't have any of them myself, but they are cool. I've thought about buying them in the past. Too bad they don't have Tempest or Crystal Castles. :(

That's where I got my Tempest keychain. Check the best sellers list on the right hand side.
-
Good idea, though they have very few of the games I have, and it would be much cheaper to make oneself.
Something like these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3628&item=6535489882&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW).

Damn. Oh well.

LOL I made one myself a couple of months ago as i was to tight to spend
-
Bah, it figures I was blind and missed them. Now that I finally got a new color cartridge for my printer, I may try my hand at making my own. Do they turn out good using plain printer paper?
-
The picture is so small, and the acrylic has enough glare, that I bet it would be just fine.

Sweet. Sounds like I'll be heading to the local dollar store soon. I'd really like a keychain for my MK2 and soon I will have one. Is it hard to print both sides of the flyer on one sheet of paper? I could always print them separate, but figured I'd ask.
-
You could print them on 2 pieces of paper.
-
Then you'd want to print it on something thick enough that it wasn't translucent once printed on, the way regular paper becomes when you print a color image on it.
-
You'd want 2 sheets, anyways. That paper won't print 2-sided properly, and you'll want the thickness that 2 sheets provides. This goes doubly if you're using plain ol' printer paper.
-
Better yet, print your front and back image side by side then cut it out and fold in half.

Anyone know where to find these things for cheap? Only place I found that had them was charging like $24 for a package. That's robbery for cheap plastic is little 2-cent keyrings.
-
About $16 for 20 shipped:

Hey, I didn't tell you to browse around.
-
I've done it both ways: bought a "keychain kit" that had everything you need (including software) and also bought from ArcadeTees. I'm not above paying a "lazy fee" for something like this. ;)
I've got keychains for all my machines (makes it easier to figure out what key is for what machine, although I usually just leave the keys in unless I've got small kids coming over :-\)

Yeah, but I couldn't help myself. Now this is just plain wrong...
