Title: how many tokens do you have at home?
Post by: bossyman15 on January 31, 2006, 03:24:34 pm: i have 1555 tokens at home with 300 more on the way.

and new question how long does it take you to use up all that tokens on your machine?

Post by: thebrownshow on January 31, 2006, 03:50:08 pm: I've got 100 of the MAME tokens, with 100 each of the 2004 and 2005 BYOAC tokens ordered.

... I have a feeling that I'm going to start collecting these damn things. Thanks for the new addiction, Santoro.

Post by: MYX on January 31, 2006, 04:28:10 pm: I only have 100 MAME. I love the 2005 set but do not know if I really need 200 tokens at the house. I guess I could raid the local chucky cheese if I wanna unload em. ;)

does anyone want to trade like 10 MAME tokens for 10 2005. I am about to purchase a monitor and do not know if I will have the funds before the 2005s run out.

Post by: pointdablame on January 31, 2006, 05:06:49 pm: I have 400 or so at home right now, and I think that's enough for the time being. :)

I'll probably order at least 100 of any new token designs Santoro makes though.

Post by: clanggedin on January 31, 2006, 05:10:13 pm: I have 500 that came with my Beast Sapp Pachislo machine and another 500 at my office that we use to play the games I have there (TMNT, POW, ROADBLASTERS).

Post by: gdilly on January 31, 2006, 06:35:18 pm: Got 400. 200 of the MAME tokens and I just ordered the reprint of the 2004 coins.
Title: Re: how many tokens do you have at home?
Post by: Santoro on January 31, 2006, 06:39:10 pm: At the moment I have thousands with more on the way. ;D

For my personal use I keep about 500. I don't play much lately so I don't go through them all very often.

Title: Re: how many tokens do you have at home?
Post by: TOK on January 31, 2006, 08:17:28 pm: About 10, each from a different closed down arcade, and one swipe card from the defunct Jillians.
Title: Re: how many tokens do you have at home?
Post by: unix4hire on January 31, 2006, 10:31:08 pm: A better question would be how many different types of tokens do you have? I have about 84, each different.
Title: Re: how many tokens do you have at home?
Post by: GGKoul on January 31, 2006, 11:03:31 pm: I only have 100 but I need to order more!!
Title: Re: how many tokens do you have at home?
Post by: AtomSmasher on February 01, 2006, 02:31:29 am: I have about a dozen that I collected from various arcades when I was younger. This is like golf right? The lower the number the better your doing?
Title: Re: how many tokens do you have at home?
Post by: fatfingers on February 01, 2006, 09:52:36 am: I have 200, with 400 more on the way! And I don't even have a machine to play on (yet). ;D

I wonder what the wife will say when she finds out I ordered 400 more?!?!

Post by: javeryh on February 01, 2006, 10:11:06 am: I've got one that I didn't use from a Chucky Cheese I took the kids to over the holidays. I plan on getting some BYOAC tokens though once I finish my cab...

since pixel threatened to not enter this year.

Where'd he do that? I was speculating that he might be busy, but I have no idea if that will be the case. Hope I didn't give the impression that I know something.

Post by: missioncontrol on February 01, 2006, 11:38:48 pm: I've got a whole bunch but counting them requires effort so I'll just say more than 2

Somewhere in the token design thread. Though it wasn't a "threat" :P I really feel the token design should be a community project and I agree with the posts during voting that it's a bit counter to that end if the same person is involved every year whether as a finalist or not. I plan on participating, but only to bling others' entries so we don't have to judge designs in black & white and can have a consistent look to all the entries. I won't be submitting any designs myself.

And yes Santoro, you are correct, I will be knee deep in my project too! Wheeeeeeee...

Post by: leapinlew on February 02, 2006, 02:09:18 am: I have 0 from arcades. When I had a token - it got it's ass put in a game.

What kind of person leaves an arcade with a token?

Title: Re: how many tokens do you have at home?
Post by: Santoro on February 02, 2006, 08:11:44 am: I am thinkng about starting the design 'contest' thread in April. There is really nothing to stop people from discussing designs now on thier own, but I don't have the spare time to moderate the whole thing this time of year.
