That's what we were talking about earlier with the vacuum forming.  The tooling costs would certainly be many thousands of dollars.  With that kind of up-front costs, one would need to be quite sure they were going to sell a large number of units, and even then, it would take quite a while to get the investment back.

We used to have one of those machines at school. Have a friend currently at University? They usually have access to all this sort of gear anytime they want.

Also you could take it to a plastics company and get a bunch done. I can't imagine it being very expensive if you create the plaster mould of the coin door and everything. Pass on the expenses to the customer. This of course all depends on how expensive it is to do this. As long as it's alot cheaper than a real one and looks just as good :)

Someone over at KLOV pointed out that the copyright message is MUCH MUCH MUCH too large and sort of kills it.  Why have it on the front?  Couldn't you put it on back or perhaps make it a little larger at the bottom,  add the copyright but make it so it can easily be cut off?

Me thinks someone is blowing that statement out of proportion a bit :).  First of all, it's not green, and it shows up much more in the photo than it does on the decal itself.  I also happen to know that the individual commenting does not own one. 

The copyright statement is printed in a shade of gray just a little lighter than the surrounding area and you need to be within a few feet and be looking for it to even see that something is there.

Maybe  I should have put a big GroovyGameGear logo in that square in the middle like the arcade companies used to do with theirs. :)
