Just to clarify, they approached us and offered to set things up so there's no out-of-pocket for us.  They do the fulfillment and everything.  They suggested the design too - apparently simpler is better with coins.  I'm only doing stuff like this if it's has minimal distraction potential.

It's just that it looks like the cart being put before the horse scenario that's happened, well, a lot before you all took over.  That, and you all really need to get a better promo image of the coin up; it kind of *looks like* a scam as promo image looks like it came out of 10 mins of work in MS-paint.

Speaking as someone that plays Battletech, I think it would be cool to be able to get a promo mini that's a similar size to the Battletech minis. Maybe like the Assault or something as a Mini? I'd get it.

Josh,

could you please move a batch of these coins to Europe for re-distribution in order to minimize shipping costs?

As shipping is 12$-14$ to EU countries which is too much compared to the value of the coin itself.

 

And a hint on how to make money the easiest way: cool camo offers for limited time! Also chassis. And horns have been suggested for a while, that would be cool.

Thanks.

 

EDIT: I'd prefer Budapest as the hub for the coins. ;-)

It seems everyone is glossing over the fact that this relic from Illal grants the bearer special gifts and accolades from the gods of that World at participating events. Seems to me that $20 to hear the lamantation of your defeated opponent's women is a small price to pay for such a boon. Let's face it, I'm positive there are people who've posted hating on such a prize that have paid $20 for a literal bag of worthless oregano. This is a much better way to invest your money.

MUHAHAHAHA !!

I have no interest in collectibles, trinkets or otherwise... but I'm not gonna be a bell end and come on here smack talking and making fun of people because of it.

 

Things like this are a valid and valuable marketing tool that helps create loyalty and awareness.  Good on you Josh and Tiggs.

First, Love Wins event is a total failure due to the "i don't want rainbows in my godamn forum profile, gotta keep my manliness"; and then all these rants about "this coin is ugly, 12 months for Hawken?! is gonna be ded omahgerd".
 

I thought it was something of a success, Love WIns. Then again, I didn't join for religious reasons, not for any misplaced worry about my masculinity.

The design is ugly as sin, but I like the idea of it. Would be nice to know what events you guys are planning to be at in advance though. I can't imagine many people will be interested if you only go to 2 shows a year and they're both in SoCal for example.

I happen to work for a company that manufactures challenge coins (in addition to a bunch of other print items)

The deal they got of not having to pay any set up fee is a really good offer.  Usually each side cost about $100 for the die mold setup and you have to order a minimum of 100 coins or so which can be really expensive.  Good for you guys.  I ordered one.

 

I don't really have any grievance with the design except there is a bit too much negative space.  I would have like to have seen some more design element thrown in, but I can't hate on a design they probably threw in for free. I do know that the 3d side will come out really nice, and can't wait to see mine in person.

merl and i are in for one a piece. doubt i'll get out to use it for any event swag, but i'm a sucker for trinkets.

 

i think the tails side should be reworked; it looks a little bland and underwhelming. if at nothing, i would prefer if the images were reversed, like have the hawken logo as the faded watermark and the hawken text more bolded.

 

edit: why isn't this the tails side

Bought it some time ago, good initiative. It should be shipped some time ago, awaiting delivery anxiously ;). Great to have a physical memory to this great game!

 

I might be herking again, but until then the memories remain! Great community, amazing matches.

 

PS: Soo, I also heard apples is quite high ranked now, he might need some competition to bring him back to earth *evil grin*.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Would have helped if I checked the mailbox yesterday... :whistling:  

 

Just opened my package now. Coin looks great, much better than the image shown on the website. Though don't know if that's some kind of plastic sealant they used on both side...kind of strange, doesn't have that hard metal feel to it.

 

All in all, well worth it...glad my money went to a company owned and operated by fellow Vets.

 

Great promo Reloaded...hope to see more of this type of thing from you guys.

Just got back from a long trip, with some layovers that lasted longer than the flight, to find my coins had arrived! The packaging is meh, but it doesn't really matter that much. I will definitely be holding onto the codes until they reach full value. The coin looks a lot better in person than in the advertisement images provided in the OP and on the manufacturer website. Top notch production value, very well made. Very happy with my purchase! 

 

Still waiting to hear about what events the Hawken devs will be at so I can present these bad boys. And network, have I mention I am going to school for game design/production? Expect a resume in ~20 months reloaded ;)
