+Blue Power Ranger Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I just went and got the mail. The new TBs I ordered came and to my surprise, they are the new design. When did all this happen? I didn't even realize they were available yet. I like them and can't wait to get them moving! Quote Link to comment
+the hermit crabs Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I just went and got the mail. The new TBs I ordered came and to my surprise, they are the new design. Hey, me too! I hadn't even opened the package from today's mail, since we still had six unused ones from the previous 8-pack, but I just checked them now, and they're the new ones. A few interesting features about them: they do have copy tags after all their 6-character tracking numbers are not just numeric now; they include letters too their TB reference numbers are 7 characters long, not 6 plus one oddity that I won't list here, in order to prevent mischief Quote Link to comment

Sorry, I had to reveal the oddity, lives were at stake. Quote Link to comment
+Blue Power Ranger Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 I also noticed that these seem to be of a heavier duty metal. They seem a little more durable at first feel. Quote Link to comment
+pjcow Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Darn, I just got mine a week and a half ago...I should have waited as they are the old design. Quote Link to comment

+welch Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Wow After this thread dragged on for a year and half, I figured the idea had just died. Why to go Groundspeak! Quote Link to comment
+Blue Power Ranger Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Very funny that it took a year and a half and 230+ forum posts and the only real difference from the originally proposed design is that "Do Not Keep Me" was changed to bold. Quote Link to comment
+nielsenc Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I just ordered my own 8 pack of TBs. Want to get these out soon. Quote Link to comment

Geeze. There must have been some sort of government comittee involved in that process. Quote Link to comment
+alexrudd Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Why is the tracking code smaller? Quote Link to comment
+Blue Power Ranger Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Why is the tracking code smaller? No idea but hold the bugs side by side and they tracking numers are MUCH smaller on the new bugs. Maybe so they are easier to hide in photos? Quote Link to comment
+JMBIndy Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I like the new look. Guess the TB Buddies sold elsewhere will no longer be needed. Quote Link to comment
+Team JSAM Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Wow they finally made them I like the new ones much better luv the Do not keep me part.... Quote Link to comment
+nielsenc Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I like the new look. Guess the TB Buddies sold elsewhere will no longer be needed. . Heh. We still like the tags. There are many old TBs out there as well as Geocoins that they could be attached to. I am starting to see people drill holes in their coins and attach them to the coin. Makes people think twice about keeping them. nielsenc Quote Link to comment
+JustBastet Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I was actually pleasantly surprised when I found a travel bug that had just been released --- and it was the new design! I like it alot better - I am glad all the discussions helped the design. Hopefully it will make more sense to the new cacher when they pick it up! Quote Link to comment
