Please put me down for 2 of these. And if there are any Flynn's pins left when you ship, I may take another one or two of those off your hands as well. Thankee!

I've been interested in your other pins and the book, but I always backed out when I saw the price. And I thought the book was GREAT at a reasonable price, I just didn't pull the trigger.

For this pin, I WILL PULL THE TRIGGER. Let me know the price, and I'll paypal you right away. This pin is awesome (and I wasn't that impressed with the Flynn's pin LOL)!!

Thanks for keeping the tron spirit alive!!!!

If you don't mind me asking, which company do you use to make these pins?


All I can say is that they are Sheffield-based and have shifted their production predominantly into pins and fine jewellery. I'd rather not post info on here but can pass contact details on to them if you'd like to discuss a project for instance.

KK. I appreciate your comment. Price is always going to be an issue somewhere, but here's my take on the whole thing - sorry (in advance) for the long post...

It's Price vs Quantity vs Demand I'm afraid! If I was an eccentric millionaire with large ears, I'd be giving these away for free or as part of some elaborate puzzle spreading over various websites! But alas, this is not the case. I am eccentric, but I'm in no way a millionaire! I'm just a humble designer who only wants to make cool TRON stuff for himself and other fans, in his spare time. Very Happy

I asked for $19 in the end for a single pin including shipping. Shipping alone costs me just over $3 per package to US! And there's the cost of envelopes, card, paper & ink for the whole package and then there's gas used in multiple runs to the post office. It's surprising how quickly it mounts up.

I've also got to ask for a certain amount, per pin, to match the production and shipping costs, not knowing who will definitely want a pin. For example: I could have a run of 300 done, ask for $7 per pin plus shipping and only actually shift 20 units. This would only raise $140 minus shipping costs and other costs, and this would nowhere near cover the production costs. This wouldn't be an option and the thing definitely wouldn't happen. Like I said, this is not something I do for a living so the costs can't be absorbed.

I don't manufacture the pins, this is a service I use. I just design them.

Because I'm not producing them in volume, the unit price is higher but at least the project is viable. As with the last pin, I've posted a pic, I'll wait for interested parties to respond, and then assess how many need to be produced to meet demand.

I don't personally know what the living costs are out there in the US, but to give you all an insight: $19 is equivalent to £12 GBP over here. On a good day. This would buy you 4 Beers and possibly a pack of peanuts at the bar. £12 would also get you 2 Big Mac meals (before going large!). Alternatively it could buy you a cool, limited pin, made by a Fan for a Fan, delivered to your door from good old Blighty.

Ultimately the choice is yours, but at least the pin won't increase your cholesterol, won't kill your brain cells and will always be a part of you much longer than the former options! G

[OT] - Fan Made EOLC Pin
My 2nd pin project. UPDATE. Pictures posted on page 8. 37 Pins left.

I've been threatening to produce another Fan pin, as I enjoyed producing the last one so much. I'd had my eye on the End Of Line Club since I got working on the Flynn's Pin and a few of you have suggested it also. I've now come up with a design. As before, here is a link to a 3D prototype.

http://youtu.be/iSEyn09LmGA

and there is a pic attached below. If there is enough interest, I will make it happen. Let me know your thoughts. EOL. G

Update. I've started an interested list from your replies so far. Please let me know if you wanna be removed or added and how many you'd like. I'm hoping to keep the price the same ($19), but I won't be sure until I get a firm quote.
