    I touched up the Fenway side of the coin.

    I used a higher res image as well as from a slightly different angle. It is also a little more zoomed in than the other one to see more of the park. The Nuka Cola "Coke" bottle is also a bit bigger to see it. I also like the shamrock in the field. Not sure how well this all shows up in the coin though.

    My phone wouldn't let me add my name to the interest sheet but I am definitely interested in 2.

    When the coin sales go live, I'm in for 12. Possibly more. But at least 12.

    Voted! My mockup looks so out of place, being the wrong color haha.

    I just moved and in un-packing, found all my East challenge coins. I couldn't remember if we had a nice picture of all the coins to put in the main post, so I took some. The style of 2014 is probably my favorite - the font and and the ring of text on the Ducking side just feels so clean, even if that super raised duck drives me mad (the coin doesn't lay flat).

    Added: I see they're all on the wiki! My 2012 East coin has reeded edges, but the wiki says it has smooth. Typo, or did I get a weird coin?

    Just checked, both of mine from 2012 are the same way.

    Is it too late to put our names down? I'd be interested in 4. Any idea what the cost would be? Sorry If I missed in the thread, I tried looking for anything price related.

    Any word on these? sorry I've been absent, but with pax right around the corner I would love to get my preorder in, if that hasn't happened yet

  • TopherRocksTopherRocks Rockstar Beard Grower Kent, OH or Long Island, NYRegistered User regular
    I'm starting to get a bit nervous about this. It's starting to feel like we're getting close for the project to work before/by PAX.

  • rascrushrascrush Registered User regular
    yea kinda what I have been feeling.

  • SepiothSepioth Boston, MARegistered User regular
    Not sure what's going on...

    Last I heard from @SutibunRi was Feb 9th when he asked that I remove the PAX logo from one of the mockups. That was on Feb 9th.

    I messaged him in hopes that he sees it and gets back to us.

    I sent him a PM as well. I hope he is in good health is the most important thing, he has always been very reliable.

    I'm a terrible person and I feel terrible.

    I just sent off the email to Kiddercorp, details to follow.

    Neat ^^
    Lost track of the time and almost forgot to check up on the forums this year.
    Just added myself to the list for 2 coins again :)

  • KaronethKaroneth Elder Scrolling Online Co-Host Lakehurst, NJRegistered User regular
    Thanks for getting on this, Sutibun.

  • jdixon1972jdixon1972 Registered User regular
    Just in case I haven't already, i'm definitely down for 1 coin!

  • SutibunRiSutibunRi Montreal, Quebec, CanadaRegistered User regular
    Update:
    akidderz is on vacation for 2 weeks, so I'm dealing with someone else.
    Images are with Kiddercorp.
    3-4 days for their design team to do their magic.
    Delivery before PAX should be a go.
    Looking at a colored and uncolored options.

    I suggested they take a look at how Souths coin was handled as we're pretty much doing the same as them, but with different images/metal.

  • SepiothSepioth Boston, MARegistered User regular
    Glad to see your back and hope everything was ok.
    Just want to make sure you sent them the newest claw and fenway mock ups I posted a bit back in the thread.

    4gzp0ml63v5i.png
  • SutibunRiSutibunRi Montreal, Quebec, CanadaRegistered User regular
    Whoops, my bad, I hadn't noticed the new fenway mockup! I'll just get that sent over (the claw you'd pm'd me, so I did send the right version of that!)

  • SutibunRiSutibunRi Montreal, Quebec, CanadaRegistered User regular
    Couple little details worked out regarding the design.
    Individual shipping and orders will work like they did for South, so, google doc and stuff.
    Colored and Uncolored coins to be produced. The color will just be the toys on the bottom, with the pokeball and claw being metal, it was the best of the options with the image we have. I like the imagery of it, the prize you have being of less interest than the prizes you could have.

    So hopefully design goes smoothly on their end and orders can start soon.

    Thank you, SutibunRi!

  • SutibunRiSutibunRi Montreal, Quebec, CanadaRegistered User regular
    Designs are looking good.
    the uncolored version has been approved.
    The colored version had a bit of a hiccup I'd dealing with now.
    Prices look very nice. I'll hold off on sharing until the colored version is approved.

    i'd like a couple keep me informed

    Hiccup mostly dealt with, weekends are not very productive.
    They can't do the half photodisc, half raised metal thing for the claw side.
    I've been shown an alternative mockup I really like, I'm just waiting to hear back if it'll push the cost too high.
    Assuming it doesn't, I'll approve that and let them send out for the prototypes.

    Oh wow. that colored coin looks great. I may have to grab one of those too :)

    Thanks for all your hard work keeping this on track @SutibunRi !

    Ok, fine. I like the colored idea now.

  • KaronethKaroneth Elder Scrolling Online Co-Host Lakehurst, NJRegistered User regular
    Love the colors.

  • SutibunRiSutibunRi Montreal, Quebec, CanadaRegistered User regular
    Yeah, he sent me that this morning while I was on the bus into work, it knocked my socks off.
    Plus it should end up costing less than the quote I'd already been given.

    The color one looks awesome. They did an excellent job.

    I can only imagine what they do on the fenway side.

    As far as cost per coin. As long as it's not absurd I think.people will buy it.

    Edit:
    NVM :)

    I don't have a fixed quote at the moment, but it should be very close to Souths $5-$6 per coin which is a far cry from last years $8 per coin without color or anything.

  • ironysparklesironysparkles Lowell, MARegistered User regular
    Oh boy, now I'm on the fence about the color coin! May just have to get one of each... Looks great!

    That's not too bad, I'm definitely in for 4. Is there still the google doc up for ordering? I didn't see it.

  • SutibunRiSutibunRi Montreal, Quebec, CanadaRegistered User regular
    At the moment we only have the Interest sheet . Once we can place orders, I'll use the names on the sheet to @ everyone to send them a notification here in the thread.

    Also: As it stands now, all the coins will be under $6 each.

  • SutibunRiSutibunRi Montreal, Quebec, CanadaRegistered User regular
    I really hope either half of you want colored coins, or all of you want some of each. Otherwise I may end up with a stockpile of colored coins.
