+Team FIREBOY Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 We got ours today too. I agree with RR they are smaller than I thought they would be. Here is a picture of our two nerds. Trades anyone? Quote
+darnjoeSNARG Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Now I'm getting anxious!!!!! Ready to get my nerd on! Got some V1's and 2's coming our way. Quote
+kehunt64 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 ThirstyMick: I sent you an email through your profile. I have a couple of coins missing and was thinking they may have gotten mixed up with yours since they are the same color. Did everyone get a white Mystery Nerd V1? Quote
+kehunt64 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Here are a couple of pictures to compare the size of V1 and V2 Quote
+tadpole379 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 Here are a couple of pictures to compare the size of V1 and V2 They do look really tiny. Both versions were 1.25 inches according to the mint art, so I am not sure why they look so small. Quote

+tadpole379 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 When you get your coins, please check to see that you have all the coins you ordered (minus any for the charity auction), and that there is nothing wrong with the coins. If there are any problems, please let me know!! Quote
lorca.nl Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the are so sweet i can`t wait till the arived here in the netherlands everyday is exating waiting by the mail-box. Quote
+Woodland Clan Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Well we agree that the version 2 are smaller than we thought. A lot of our appear to have some flaws to them too. Looks like the mystery coin was a bonus this time. Thank you to whoever the mystery giver was. I hope everyone likes the icons. It was my first and last attempt at making one. I am thrilled to at least have the bragging rights for that. Quote
+Ble68 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 NERDS!!!!!!! I got nerds and they are soo cute! I love the size, makes them seem like the candy lol! Quote
wwflover13 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 WOOHOO! I had almost forgotten about these, what a surprise when I opened the mailer and saw these: I really like my 5 "Albino Frog" V1 Nerds, and that bonus MysteryNerd is very cool too! A "Lagrac" V2 Nerd was also in my package, not sure if that was a gift or a mistake though. If nobody claims it I'll be activating it tomorrow! Thanks tadpole379 for organizing a second minting and to hogwildstuff for taking it on! Quote

+Mama Cache Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 The size of a coin is measured by the longest points. So on the Vs nerd if you put him on top of the v1 I think you will see that they are the same length. The first version is a little wider based on the artwork. I can't wait to see more. They are all so cute. Quote
+KrazyTrollz Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Ohhhh sooo cuteeeee!!!!!!!! NERDS!!!!!!! I got nerds and they are soo cute! I love the size, makes them seem like the candy lol! Quote

+GBOTS Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I also received my Nerds today The only real mistake is I got one of Lorca's Nerds.... So, Lorca if you want to trade, I'll send you one of mine. Just LMK. Quote

+Sileny Jizda Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Went to the post office today and noticed a bunch of nerds hanging out at the mailbox. Tossed emm in the trunk and ran home. **Edited to add. The wife counted up all the nerds and the count came up to 28 regular (version 2) and 1 of the Mystery Nerd. Minus the one donated nerd it looks like we are missing one regular nerd from the order? BTW the little buggers are danged cute. Edited April 17, 2008 by Sileny Jizda Quote
+kehunt64 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Everyone should have gotten an mystery nerd. A little surprise from me to everyone in the group Thank you Jackie for the extra surprise Quote
+kehunt64 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Here is a picture of my herd of Nerds. Thank you to everyone who shared their colors with me!!!!!!! I LOVE the rainbow of colors I have!! I ordered 3 colors of swirled coins but none of mine came in with swirls. Did anyone receive coins that had swirls like those on the Geojellies?? Edited April 18, 2008 by kehunt64 Quote
+darnjoeSNARG Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Got them today and they are awesome!!! Figures that my wife is out of town until Sunday night and she took the digi cam!!!! ARGH! Thanks for the bonus mystery nerd, that is awesome. We got copper glitter V2's (BN), light blue glitter (G), red glitter (BN) and solid orange (BN) V1's. Ironically my favorite is the simplest, the solid orange on black nickel. I hope to post pics soon. Some of my orange ones were supposed to ship directly to marpomem, but it's not a problem. I'll take care of it with her...she is my mom afterall! Quote
+Mr.Explorer3 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I called home and there appears to be no more nerds at my house than there normally is. Quote
SCYoli Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I have NEERRRRDSSS!!! Yea! Thanks! Looking to trade! Quote
+KrazyTrollz Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Mine didn't have the swirl in them either i'm looking thru them to make sure they're ok.... Quote
+kehunt64 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 For those who have not yet received their coins and may be curious, here is another picture of the size comparison. Quote
+dflye Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Yeah, the v2 Nerds are the same diameter as the v1, but due to the stretched out head & toes, ended up with a lot more metal on the factory floor than in my coin mailer! Quote
+kehunt64 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I have NEERRRRDSSS!!! Yea! Thanks! Looking to trade! There is an advantage to these being micro size... with postal rates going up next month they should be pretty inexpensive to ship They are probably small enough and thin enough to secure in a regular envelope with a stamp and stick them in the mail.

+kehunt64 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) If anyone has found a coin in their order that is color HS15 Blue Glitter with the engraving of "TheCollector" it is the one that I am looking for that is missing from my order. I ordered it as surprise to gift to Chuck, but I guess it won't be a surprise now The other coin I am missing is also HS15 Blue glitter engraved with kehunt64 but I think that one was pulled for the charity auction by mistake instead of another shade of blue that I had made. But if that is not the case, and someone also finds that coin, please let me know. On Post #431 the color HS15 is the blue Nerd that is in the middle of my 3 different blue ones. Thanks, Karen Edited April 18, 2008 by kehunt64 Quote
+Nochipra Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Yahoo!!! We got ours too! The Flying Nerdling! Edit: I checked our package and we just got the 24 coins as we expected. The 25th one we donated to TNT coin auction. Sorry no unexpected coins that people are missing in our package:( We got our mystery nerd too, thanks so much! Edited April 18, 2008 by Nochipra Quote
+darnjoeSNARG Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I made both of my kids 5 each of the light blue glitter (gold) and red glitter (black nickel). They are dying to trade, so I'm hoping to post some pics soon. My wife is out of town with my camera, so I'm dragging some nerds to work and hope that my colleague has her camera like she usually does. I didn't end up with any extras, outside of the "mystery" nerd and the ones meant for marpomem. I'll hand deliver those to her soon. Quote
+cainrcc Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Recived my nerds today and they look great and I recived what was ordered minus the one I donated for the auction.THANKS also for the V1 mystery nerd.Thanks again I am very happy with them.Trades ? Quote
SCYoli Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 As a side note, I received all 24 and the MysteryNerd <really cool and thank you> and boy do these Nerds GLOW! I help one up to the light bulb for a quick second and before I could turn off the lights you could see it glowing really bright! I will try to take a picutre with the camera, its supposed to have a coin macro type setting on it. Quote
+tom4props Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 When I got home, there was a big package waiting for me, so I opened it up and look what spilled out... A Pile o' v2 Nerds I also got a MysteryNerd along with my 24 green glitter on gold Nerds. The MysteryNerd says, "Gather round my fellow Nerds." tom4props green glitter on gold nerd Quote
