PAX West Challenge Coin 2018 (updated July 10th, 2018 with Order Form)

Dracil

Did last year's coin have that epoxy thing for the color version? It felt a little weird. So this year we won't have it?

Nfan10039

I am fairly certain that there will not be epoxy this year. However, I could be wrong about this.

Ordered, yet again

Did I miss why we were using PAX Prime versus PAX West? I know the history of the name, I just wondered if we were using Prime to stay true to the origin of the event, even though we used PAX West the last 2 years. (I'm referring to proofs shown above.) I have no complaints about the coin, I was only curious. I love it and think I will get one of each as well. Thank you for your efforts.

Thank you for pointing that out. I have alerted Kiddercorp which hopefully will make the change the design for us before printing any. I have sent them an email and am currently waiting to hear back. Will let you know what happens.

Yep, this is a great reason to always post the proof here. Having a bunch of eyes makes sure errors get fought quickly.
(Although I wouldn’t have minded that one getting through. Prime forever!)

Ordered mine! Thanks again for the hard work!

@Nfan10039 I'm a bit confused about how shipping figures into all this.

Edit: Nm, I figured it out, I think.

However, if we do pickup at PAX how does that work?

I think you pay that initial shipping cost either way... I could be wrong about this, but not sure. It's better for Canadians and people from out of country to pick them up at PAX even if you account for US domestic shipping. However, for you Yanks, I'm not sure. Seems like shipping them to your own address would be more beneficial.

Bluemeane

Done!!!!!

Dracil

Alright, put in my order. Does this mean Kidder Corp will just ship directly to our address then? Though if that's the case, I'm not entirely sure why we need the google docs then if proper info is filled out in the PayPal transaction.

First year a group of friends are joining me at PAX so I'm gonna slap them each with a coin and maybe get some drinks going during the con.

Dracil

Oh crap, may want to add another coin. Not sure what to do in this case.

I can alter the docs as needed and email Kiddercorp as to this. Just make sure you pm me and pay Kiddercorp more mulah.

Dracil

Edit: Probably should just take this to PM

mnemonictutor

Just ordered my coins (one color, one regular). Can't wait to get them!

Dracil

@Nfan10039 Not sure if you're getting notifications for PMs so I'm noting it here, but I went ahead with the 2nd transaction.

I have been getting them. I have been busy though, and this was probably a wise decision on your part. I shall notify Kiddercorp today (time permitting).

Ordered mine. Thanks

bacon_avenger

Coins ordered!

anettie76

Coins Ordered! WOOT!

Kaollasu78

Any update on when they'll be delivered?

Nfan10039

I haven't heard anything from kiddercorp. However, one of their wonderful staff members has looked at the spreadsheet for the orders, so that must be some good news at the very least.

ImZelkova

Coins ordered, badges arrived, everything's looking great from my end. Thanks for setting all this up Nfan!

Bluemeane

Do we know when these will be shipping out?

Nfan10039

Nope

DrewsGFX

Think the first batch of these will send out before the event? Have a few extra ordered to give out at West. If not, no biggie, but would definitely be nice.

S2000Gan

So we pulled a 2011 and went with a 2" coin huh?

sirmrej

Does anyone have any extra non-colored coins from last year's PAX West?

ClannMorgan

Coins ordered. Thank you for putting these together.

Bluemeane

Any updates on shipping of these?

Dracil

Yeah, if we're gonna get this before PAX I think they need to be shipped fairly soon?

Wait what? I don't recall there being discussion about this, and looking at the proof, it looks like you're right.

Last year, we got them after PAX was done, but it didn't make it any less exciting. I just wanted to tell ya so you're not disappointed if they don't come before.

Nfan10039

From what I can see in the spreadsheet, it looks like something is happening with the shipping. I believe that at the very least, everyone who ordered through pickup should receive them at PAX(I hope...). There is something happening with the coins, since there are now colours on the spreadsheet which weren't there a while back.

Skelotic

Just got a shipment notification. The tracking page hasn't updated yet but the email said the delivery estimate was 2 days.

Nfan10039

Please check your emails. If you got an email from me, please send me a reply at your earliest convenience.

Dracil

Yep, just got the shipment notification too!

Yeah I got the coins last year too. But this year... I don't think my friends read this forum but in case you do, don't read this:

my plan is to surprise my friends who are finally going with me by slapping a coin in their hand at PAX.

Pcho

If you guys don't mind me asking what kind of shipping notifications are you getting?
