+avroair Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 So a number of people have been emailing me asking what geocoin I am doing for my: Jedi Training Event May 21st, well, the samples are in so here's a sneak peak. I decided to incorporate it into a caching game (been working on a couple themes for doing this) where you use the coin and 8 different trainers (tags) to visit 7 different Star Wars galaxy planets (caches) finally leading you to a trench run at the Death Star. Event banner: Coin diameter: 2" Thickness: 3.5 mm Trackable: yes Unique Icon: yes Cool features: magnet and tag slot in middle Versions: AS light side version, BN dark side (rumored) version And the front of the coin (light side version): Back of the coin with Boba Fett modeling the tag area: The trainers (tags), produced from composites: Looks like they are going to have a similar event in Utah so there will probably be a few extras available at a certain online vendor. I don't have details currently. Quote
+Panther&Pine Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) If there is one in Utah can you let me know!!!!! I was just in Washington a few weeks ago so probably can't convince my parents that I really want to visit them again so soon. Maybe I can convince them to go to your event. Love the coin and the tags. Edited March 26, 2011 by MooseJawSpruce Quote
+pastor_b Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 wish I could be there...sadly, I will miss the event; GREAT design! LOVE it!!! :grin: Quote
+scificollector Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Very cool! Hmmm.... How to arrange getting one? (note to self: get week after event off to sit in front of computer awaiting any extras going on sale). Quote
+mpilchfamily Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 That is a sweet coin and have to get my hands on one and all the tags. Quote
+mpilchfamily Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) I see you posted a set on the e site. Looks like $45 isn't gonna get it for me. Edit: realized its for charity so upped my bid to $60 and still no good. Someone really wants that set. Edited March 27, 2011 by mpilchfamily Quote
+LionsLair Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I like the coin! it looks awesome. I like the tag set as well. are the tags produced by pathtags? atmatags? or someone else? Quote
+BlueEyedAussie Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 The coin and the tags look amazing! To add them all to my collection I would love. Watching for more news, will be. Hmmmmmm. =D Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 They came out great. Love the death star! Quote
+JackHoe Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 This set would be a nice add to my collection, it looks very nice! I also like to collect pathtag carriers. I hope they will be available in a shop and I'll be around when they come online. Quote
+avroair Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 I hope they will be available in a shop and I'll be around when they come online. These are not pathtags, but they will probably be some available at Geocoinfest Europe too. Quote
+ice13-333 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Very cool would be in for 2 coins with all the pathtags for each coin. Hope to get my hands on them at the gcf Quote
+Azure Sky Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Very cool coin! Looks like a really fun event, too. Wish I could be there... Quote
+GoldBugGirl Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Ditto what Azure Sky said. Looking forward to catching the sale. Your event sounds amazing! Quote
+LionsLair Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I hope they will be available in a shop and I'll be around when they come online. These are not pathtags, but they will probably be some available at Geocoinfest Europe too. that answers part of my question... great design, I hope I can get my hands on one... Quote
+avroair Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 the coin and tags will be available on www.geoswag.com in May. Quote
+JackHoe Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I hope they will be available in a shop and I'll be around when they come online. These are not pathtags, but they will probably be some available at Geocoinfest Europe too. Oh, yes, I'm going to the Geocoinfest Europe and I cross my fingers to get a set of this coins with the The trainers (tags). Quote
+avroair Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 You underestimate the power of the dark side... I was asked if there was a dark side version, of course!: Front: Back with vadar modeling the tag holder Quote
+goosefraba1 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Is there some type of pin that holds the tag into the coin? Quote
+scificollector Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Is there some type of pin that holds the tag into the coin? There is a magnet and tag slot according to the description earlier in the thread. Btw, bumped up the bid on the dark side version. Quote
+avroair Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 Is there some type of pin that holds the tag into the coin? It's a magnet, I have to admit it takes some expertise removing the tag! Quote
+Tonyalynnm Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I have to get one of these for Indiana Anthony!! He will love it! :laughing: Quote

+Crowesfeat30 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 SWEET coin!!! Love the Tags too!! CF30 Quote
+avroair Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 isn't this exactly the kind of thing were are talking about in the copyright/trademark thread? Which is precisely why I am revising them. Quote
+DresselDragons Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Love em...you are just missing my fave character...C3PO. He had some of the best lines... "Don't you call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease!" Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) cha cha cha cha changes ... Edited March 29, 2011 by RedShoesGirl Quote
+Team kizb Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Interesting reading, It will be interesting to see what becomes of this project. Neat looking Deathstar! Quote
+mpilchfamily Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Sure takes the value of the coins through the roof. The only one of there kind never to be made again. At least the money is going to charity. Quote
+avroair Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 The issue would be trademark. It is my understanding though that Lucas Arts encourages fans of the the Star Wars series to create original work. This is correct. I looked into this, contacted Lucas Arts. The issue is trademark. Creating original Star Wars artwork is fine. Selling it is not. I have revised the tags. The game works the same way. Quote
+Eartha Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I moved the posts with the copyright/trademark comments to the fair use and copyright thread. The tags are being changed, so this is not an issue here. Quote
+avroair Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 I have some event coins for sale, they are $23.000 each. This includes shipping and 8 tags that go with the coin. Email me through my profile if you are interested. i will also accept trades 2 for 1 trades (since I will also be adding 8 tags). Mark Master Avroair Quote
+Azure Sky Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 E-mail sent. Please ignore the fact I used the word "available" twice in the request. I think I'm more tired than I thought not to catch that before I sent it. Quote
+keewee Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Have used the force to communicate my requirements to you... but in case my midi-chlorians are not of sufficient concentrate for the message to make it that far, I have also sent you communication via more traditional methods... Quote
+avroair Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 Also, this was my first time incorporating a geocaching game into a geocoin. It turned out a huge success and a lot of people enjoyed the game. If anyone is interested in running a scaled down version of the event (with the same geocaching game) and would like a bulk order (10-50 coins) let me know, I can send you a copy of the game sheets, how it's played and setup as well as the coins.

+DresselDragons Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I cannot wait for our event next weekend. If you are trying to outrun Imperial Starships in the southwestern PA system, please join us! Quote
