avroair Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Here's just the coin artwork, I started working on it just before the Beijing Olympics and was inspired by the game Packrat (of which I haven't played in two years now!). Quote Link to comment

+Droo Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Since we're on the subject of Pandas and GG mentioned LadyBear.... did she ever get that coin made last year she talked a bit about? If not Avro you sure sensed a Panda vacuum in the Geocoin Force. Quote Link to comment
+gardengorilla Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Mark: Maybe we had some sort of crazy mind meld thing going on, I told you it was freaky! But then again not sure how mine gave you inspiration as it is a GORILLA? Droo: Hmmm, I thought she had it made for sure. We are talking about her personal coin right? Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 ... Droo: Hmmm, I thought she had it made for sure. We are talking about her personal coin right? Yeah... I remember a concern about being able to finance the thing but don't remember if it ever got made. Quote Link to comment
+Laval K-9 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Very cute coin. I don't buy as many coins as I used to but this one is a must have Quote Link to comment
+mamoreb Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Oh, cool! Thanks for picking up my wish! I guess you're going for the crazy/wild look, to go with "pandamonium". Personally I prefer the cuter/calmer pandas (which I guess comes with a bit less white in the eyes). But this one is absolutely cool as well, will have to get it! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 ... Droo: Hmmm, I thought she had it made for sure. We are talking about her personal coin right? Yeah... I remember a concern about being able to finance the thing but don't remember if it ever got made. She had health problems and shelved the project. As far as I know, it was never produced.

+Where'sMyMarbles Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 AAAwww!! This is adorable avroair!! Will definitely be watching for this!! Quote Link to comment
+LadeBear68 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) As soon as I saw the thread I went gaga. I won't derail the topic but AtlantaGal is right, I had health issues not money issues and shelved the coin. I was working on the nursery (the stork is delivering a little panda to us on August 6th) on Sunday and saw my sample coins. The coin will be produced eventually. Back on topic, I love your panda Avroair and will definitely buy a bamboo bunch. Edited March 21, 2011 by LadeBear68 Quote Link to comment

+mamoreb Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Brilliant! I particularly like the BN. The eyes are not as intense as on the artwork. And I'm imagining all sort of LE versions. A Kung Fu Panda with red enamel on gold, perhaps? I will have to get those - are you doing preorders? ETA please? Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 are you doing preorders? No sorry, no pre-orders I hate pre-orders. ETA please? Ok, I am getting restless, how much longer do I have to wait for that cute panda??? We are making two versions 100 coins of each will be available. Should be 3 weeks to produce and ship. And then another couple of days to get photos and ready etc. They should be available in Mid-May. Quote Link to comment

+mamoreb Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Preorders, reservations, I need to work on my geocoin vocabulary... I hope you will consider giving us a forewarning, or else a certain few of the European members will have lots of sleepless nights in May! Quote Link to comment

I hope you will consider giving us a forewarning, or else a certain few of the European members will have lots of sleepless nights in May! Most people use Reservation as just an expression of interest to gauge how many people might buy a geocoin. A true Reservation is where you express how many of the coin you'd like when it is available and then when it is available you have the opportunity to buy that many. A Preorder is where you are asked to pay for your geocoins before they have been ordered from the mint. This is usually so the person who is having the coin made can pay the mint for the coins.

Most of the time I know beforehand but I have been surprised a couple of times. Quote Link to comment

+LadeBear68 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Has anyone received their coins? I think there might be a problem with my order and I have tried to get in touch with geoswag but I haven't heard from them. How does someone get in touch with geoswag? Quote Link to comment
