Okay, pre-orders for the potential second run are closed. I don't know if it will happen yet. We did not meet the minimum, but the number of commitments is pretty high. I have contacted Eric to see if he will consider opening the form again for the number of commitments we have. I will let everyone know when I know.
SIGH if I just missed the last opportunity to get two coins I'm going to be more than a little upset. I can see that the preorder page is still up, but $30? Am I missing something here? Does anyone have two extra coins they would sell me? Again, it's my anniversary and I really enjoy the coins.
Things are looking good: Eric has replied that our commitments are close enough to the goal, and he is willing to do a second run.
Please do not order yet, due to the price issue with the item going into the cart, as @ironysparkles discovered. Back when Eric and I discussed the possibility of a second run, he agreed that it would be at the original pricing, and I have asked that he put that back in place, then I will give the community the green light to order.
I feel like such an ass. I went all hermit for the last 3 months and completely missed out on coins. Really hoping there's going to be an opportunity to get some post-PAX
you haven't missed, they are doing a second run ... Raughn's post is from yesterday. Orders for the second run have not commenced to my knowledge. First is complete but second is just starting. There was an "interest" poll done in order to make it worthwhile for a second but orders themselves have not commenced I think or if they are commenced have not yet closed. Watch for the post.
PAX East 2016 .... gots my Passes [x] Hotel [x] Flights [x] Packed [..] .... ok we're all good !!!!!
Okay everybody, you can order coins from the second run using this form.
Disregard the old cut-off and shipping dates, I will ask Eric to update those.
Orders are not limited to those who committed through my Google form. If you are just now becoming interested, or if you already ordered coins and want more, by all means, it's there for everyone.
I will also be e-mailing those who completed the commitment form, and maybe sending DM's as well. I apologize for the redundancy if you check the forums often, but I need to do everything I can to make sure people follow-up on our commitments.
As an aside, went through the ordering process, made it through paypal (got a reciept from them), but when it went to direct me back to Phoenix I got a 404 and couldn't go further. Anyone else have this issue?
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the 404. By that point, Phoenix has your info and the payment, and you have a receipt.
However, it would be nice if it went smoother, so I will point it out to Eric to be fixed along with the dates. Thanks to everyone for posting about the problem.

Thanks so much for doing this, @Raughn. I'll put my order in as soon as I get home from work tonight.
Forgot to mention that I got my coin a few weeks ago, and it's awesome. The international shipping cost was a bit of a hit (which is beyond anyone's control, just sayin'...), but it was sent over quickly and looks amazing.
Just wish posting things across the boarder wasn't such a royal pain.
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!
The dates were updated on the form not long after it went live, but I feel like I should post them here:
Orders cut-off on April 10, 2014. The coins ship on or about May 10, 2014.
I'll request an OP and title update to raise awareness that there's less than a week left.
KoalaBro2 sent $50 extra when he forwarded me last year's surplus, so for next year's coin project I have a total of $59.29 towards the cost of the die.
Thanks to everyone for participating in the project, whether it was helping to shape the design, donating to the die, and/or simply purchasing a coin. You helped keep a fun tradition going.
Special Internet fist-bumps and thanks to @flatline for keeping the OP updated even when I forgot to ask; @KoalaBro2 for quickly answering any questions I had; @lauren42 for super-powers that allow her to find the best angles on Boston landmarks; and @Draxy for the excellent controller art and feedback that was very helpful when trying to sort out some confusion during the concept art phase.
Awesome, thanks I got myself a set. Good stuff. I saw a facebook post about collectible coins, but haven't noticed them at the convention its' self. I guess now I know.
Sooooo... what are the chances that I walk into a pub with PAXers, toss down the coin and someone else does too? I mean, that's grounds for a celebration!
While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.
My buddy and I have a tradition to start PAX off with beermosas at The Tam. Other than that, we jump around between the bars in the hotel and the others new Whiskey Priest.

One member of our caravan had to drop out, so I have an extra coin if anyone wants to buy it today at the con. Shoot me an email at revtobiaz AT gmail DOT com

Indeed! I came here specifically to make a "last call" of sorts. For those who are interested in the second run, see my sig/the OP.

More updates when I have them.
