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!). :D

I was actually looking at your coin the other day... that had a tad of inspiration in there. :)

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.

Posted

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?

Yeah... I remember a concern about being able to finance the thing but don't remember if it ever got made.

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!

She had health problems and shelved the project. As far as I know, it was never produced.

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.

Hope to get one of yours and one of avroair :rolleyes:

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?

Posted
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.

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!

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.

Yes, when I am aware of the sale I will post in this thread. Most of the time I know beforehand but I have been surprised a couple of times.

Looks like I'll need to put aside some extra $$ for May - lots of great coins coming. Hopefully I will be around when these go on sale. :lol:

 

...just can't "bear" the wait..... B)

Well I hope someone panda's to your needs. :P

Soon? SOON? I saw one on the eplace today, and thought I had missed the sale. How can I get any work done today, reloading this page every 10 sec...?

 

May is looking like an expensive month! :huh:

Posted

Nice! My pandas have started crawling towards Norway!

 

... and this means that my lunch budget has shrunk to homemade for the coming month. Bamboo anyone? :)

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?
