edit: aug 03 2015
the project to get the official token reproduced has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond my control

please DO NOT send me any more pm's requesting to be put on the list. the list does not exist any more

I've received one two pm's. please read the instructions in order to be added to the list.

the domestic tokens are slightly smaller in diameter than the international tokens. I believe that there is an adjustment on the coin slots to modify what is accepted. the difference may even be so slight that they will work without having to modify anything, but don't quote me on that.

I do know that both tokens will fit in the tubes and dispense correctly from the head without any alteration.

the left slot should be larger and labeled "Magic Token". that's where you would deposit one of the awarded safe cracker tokens to play the "assault on the vault" game mode.

just an update. if you do not see your name on the list and you did pm me all of the required details, feel free to shoot me another pm. I've noticed that I'm seeing a few people who replied here in the thread but did not initially receive a pm from them.

there maybe be an issue with the mail system here on pinside or people may not be entering my username (j_m_) correctly when sending the pm, so I'm not receiving the pm's

It's very encouraging that we've crossed the 33% mark in less than 24 hours, but we'll have see just how well the demand holds up to reach the goal

it's about time!

almost to the half-way point in just under 1 day. wow! color me impressed

wayne,
I'm confused as well. why on earth would you give me a price which wouldn't remotely be the price that I would be purchasing them from you (especially the way that you worded it to me in the email between you and I), and I quote:

me: if I was to get enough people to cover the 100 sets, what would be the cost (per set) and would they be the u.s. sized tokens or the international sized ones?

your response:
We never remade domestic tokens

It is possible to remake domestic size

Last time we made them almost 10 years ago they cost $150us a set so $15,000 for 100 sets

15 x 20 pces

and going back a bit further (just a month ago), I asked you directly about purchasing a set of international tokens, to which your response was that they were "all sold out"

ok, let's cut to the chase to try and determine whether or not this is actually feasible for all interested parties.

wayne:
what would be the price (not cost) for me to purchase 100 boxes (each box containing 300 tokens, comprised of 15 pcs. of the 20 unique designs; 19 in brass, 1 in aluminum color, minted in the domestic size) with PPS's licensing fees factored in?

would this price include shipping from australia (where you are striking the tokens) to michigan, usa? if not, what would the price of those charges be as well?

rick:
I'm sorry if I've ruffled any feathers or overstepped my boundaries, but for the sake of argument:

what would be the price (not cost) for PPS to produce 100 boxes (at a minimum) with each box containing 300 tokens, comprised of 15 pcs. of the 20 unique designs; 19 in brass, 1 in aluminum color, minted in the domestic size so that people on the list would be able to purchase said tokens if we could guarantee you those 100 sales?

I'm sorry guys (and gals), but unless rick chimes in again, it sounds like this is dead in the water.

the long and short of it is that even at 100 boxes, it would not generate enough money for him (rick) to make it worth his while

cool. according to this, a u.s. half dollar has the following dimensions (which I believe is equivalent to the domestic token size):
diameter 30.61 mm (1.205 in)
thickness 2.15 mm (0.085 in)

you're correct. from schedul5

diameters:
1.175" (domestic)
1.190" (international)

for those of you that have sent me pm's regarding being put on the list. as you may (or may not) have noticed, this project is basically dead in the water due to a number of factors.

please refrain from sending me any further pm's asking to be put on a list for official tokens that are not going to be made. and while I applaud TigerLaw for seeing where this may go further down the line with the possibility of producing something else that is feasible, it will not be me that is leading this charge.

if you bothered to read my entire email, I'm referring to getting the official tokens reproduced. it's all well and good that TigerLaw is going to potentially per sue another avenue with non-official (or licensed) tokens.

as the shark tank sharks would say, "I'm out"

PPS doesn't have domestic sets. Rick has the last remaining international tokens from when wayne re-produced them a few years ago.
