Title: Did you miss out on the 2005 Tokens?
Post by: Santoro on January 20, 2006, 05:26:32 pm: OK so Havoc and others convinced me that there is sometimes demand for tokens out there even if people aren't asking.

So I am asking.. knowing that we will be ordering more 2004 BYOAC tokens, would you buy if I ordered more 2005 tokens? If you voted in the other thread for 04 tokens but really wanted 05, please state so in this thread so that I may know how much the 05 tokens would eat into the 04 sale.

Thanks

That's what I'm saying, but people seem interested in the previously minted ones from days gone by...

You should forget it!
You're livin' in the past, man! You're hung up on some clown from the sixties, man!

Post by: skippy on January 21, 2006, 12:42:57 am: I would probably pick up a 100 of each. How about a PP token?

I just want the ones I missed out on. And, I'll buy the new ones when they are minted too!

:P

Yeah, I hear you. Except that I think it makes sense from a demand perspective to have close to a year between BYOAC runs. I am thinking April would be a good time to get the ball rolling on 06 token designs.

That doesn't mean people can't start working now on designs. I have a feeling Pixel is going to be knee-deep in building his Mission Control cab, so there may be a chance for others to jump in with some good stuff.

Post by: Havok on January 24, 2006, 10:56:37 am: I'll be getting some of these too...
Title: Re: Did you miss out on the 2005 Tokens?
Post by: thebrownshow on January 24, 2006, 11:17:15 am: I missed out on both. I've already pre-ordered 100 of the 2004 tokens, and I'd order 100 of the 2005 tokens, as well.

Wouldn't hurt to start a thread for 2006 designs, either... never too early to at least get design work going.

Vote for goodness sake.

I ~~need~~ could use 2005 tokens.

Post by: Santoro on January 26, 2006, 09:06:02 pm: I doesn't look good now, but I'll bet in a few months there will be enough newbies to do another run.
Title: Re: Did you miss out on the 2005 Tokens?
Post by: Roughy on January 27, 2006, 01:38:36 am: I'd be in for a 100, but would also be in for a "we're gonna do them, here's your email/pm reminder" so I could do it and not miss out, too...

Post by: KDOG on January 27, 2006, 11:27:07 pm: I am in for another 200 brass. I got 100/100 nickel/brass last time.

Post by: missioncontrol on January 30, 2006, 09:03:17 am: I'm bumping this off the second page....

looks like we are close to the 3000 minimum
Title: Re: Did you miss out on the 2005 Tokens?
Post by: Santoro on January 30, 2006, 12:43:25 pm: Good news folks, the mint will let me get a small quantity more of these as part of my 04 order. I will set up an order page ASAP.
