    Quoted from spfxted:

    Whose making the CBC shirts??

    I would but I can't afford the licensing fees.

    *edit* I can probably work with the broken flipper idea though.

    I think best deal was a Pinbot for 200 that had no issue other than the lady had no idea where the power switch was. Was missing the topper dome but who the crap cares.

    #26 9 years ago

    Getting started....was busy tonight so didn't get much done.. =P

    Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

    I like this thread. Unfortunately, I think I'm disqualified from joining based on my current lineup.

    It's okay, I feel that way too, but I do have a 150 buck EM sitting in my living room, so it's okay, right?

    If it wasn't obvious, it's front/back. I'm asking Robin's permission to use Pinside's name, and I'll have to do some actual alignment on something other than MS PAINT....hell, who am I kidding, I'll probably try to vectorize it too. It's all pixel art by hand, Inkscape should be able to auto-vector this with very little trouble except the text...and I have the fonts, so...yeah.

    Let me get all my ducks in a row, proper like.....and I'll see what we can do. I can't use Inkscape at work and I'm very rarely at home with free time, so hopefully the auto-vecotorizer makes quick work of it and all I have to do is re-type the text!

    Quoted from blownfuse:

    LOL, been there done that years ago ... bought the shirt. A lot of our members are posting here now.
    Steve
    formerly CARGPB1, I guess it would now be CAPB1

    Well, now you'll have another shirt to buy, with 50% reduced eliteism included no charge LOL.

    #71 9 years ago

    Woohoo! It's all vectorized!

    Yeah, clearly shirts will not be free, but they will be available for purchase soon-ish. I sent the EPS files out last night, will see how pricing turns out.

    TECHNICALLY, all the "white" you see in the photo is transparent EXCEPT for the scratches/highlights in the ball, and the white of the flipper. He has a bunch of different shirt colors, so I will try and make more than just white shirts available. It's pretty trivial for me to go in, edit the colors to something complimentary for other shirt colors, and give him the files back. I just need a list of what colors he has. Starting with white though and we'll see how it prints up.

    Quoted from Bax1:

    Frax. You should give the shirts a dingy vintage look

    lol, that would be pretty cool, but I don't know where I can buy bulk distressed shirts at a cheap price. Besides, if you get them with white shirt color, they will look 'vintage' soon enough!

    #104 9 years ago

    Sounds like a good deal to me. Sure, it's not OMGZOR phenomenal but I'd have a real hard time turning down a 2k RFM.

    #122 9 years ago

    Might have a shirt pic for you guys sometime this weekend.

    #134 9 years ago

    We picked up a free Hang Glider last night. And we're so bad that it took us about eight months to pick it up from the time it was initially "given" to us, and THEY DRILLED THE HEAD LOCK FOR US.

    #142 9 years ago

    MAN I CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME!!!

    Before anyone asks, the text on the back was a bit high on this first print (single shirt...) and won't be an issue with future shirts. Color will match the other red text!

    Quoted from Bax1:

    Any word on the cheap bastard shirts?

    Um.......let me poke the guy. The file has been out of my hands since I made that post last month..

    #152 9 years ago

    It's no wonder you don't have your location posted. With deals like that I wouldn't either. 600 WCS...

    Quoted from TaTa:

    He did... Scranton, Pa. NE Pa

    I wasn't gonna assume because it was in his name that was his location, but okay.

    Gonna have to bring this thread back from the dead. Just picked up a $150 Magnotron.

    #173 7 years ago

    Nice, man. I wish I had saved my shirt design. I had two printed before, still have them.

    #175 7 years ago
    Quoted from Bax1:

    not a pin but I recently picked up a space invaders cocktail table for 15 bucks and it actually works and is in beautiful shape.

    I'd call that epically qualified.
