This isn't Rage2 or upper management approved, so it could get rejected. :(

As usual, I like doing shit for the hell of it.

So I'm having some "Beyond.ca" keychains made right now, aimming to get it shipped into Calgary and possibly ready for a FREE handout at the DTP event or something. (might not make it though)

It's a basic die-cast pour, then it'll be finished with lots of possibilities (i.e. brushed stainless metal look, chromed, gold, bronze, color painted, etc...) I don't know yet, guess I'll supplyzz you all, I mean surprise... surprise?

They are limited, I'm not sure how much are being made, because I just said: "a shit load" (exact words), so that'll be a supply too. Here it is in it's bare nakkid form without any coating (i.e. I know it's kinda rough on the eyes, like looking at someone without make-up in the morning)...

This gives you an idea how these are being made:

And I do apologize in advance if this inadvertently results in getting some Beyond member's aunt laid off at their NW industrial park trophy/medallion work shop... the aunt who's family outright owns their Pumphill, Hamptons, Mcewan home, cash paid top model black/maroon MDX, paid off rental houses, cash job with $6/hour T4 statement.

BUT, I get these for free, so I'm just passing on the savings only to this community, so can't blame me :dunno:

Least I can do for being the most "service absent" sponsor on Beyond history, I thinks, lol.

[Tarrantula]

I would love one.. or two.. or three...

It would be sweet if it could be made to order to match our cars or something... unless its like.. polished titanium! lol.

Edit: Please and Thanks :D

[e31]

I have a $60 Diamondschwartz Metallic touch up paint kit that I would totally feel justified using on one of these! 12ml doesen't go far.

[TomcoPDR]

Answers:

- In the long term, I won't "run out", I can always make more (if gretz's method is CNC-ing each piece, that could be costly to him or his employer; not the best mass production method; AFAIK)

- Colours, design, layout: I'm not a fuckin' graphic designer, so I didn't specific any design or drawings, all I did was told my daddy to make some die-cast keychains, and sent a computer file of the top logo.

If you want colours, I say it's easier using this rubber material
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/Past%20repairs/Random/100_4220.jpg


Otherwise you're going to have to use some type of epoxy colour (don't know exact term, as I'm not in the industry)

If a customer was more specific, there are a lot of finishes, again, I'm not that artistic nor have the time to come up with a specific finish.

This my favorite the shop made

They wouldn't take long lol...


I'm offering to people out of my own time and material who can't get one from Tomco. Don't pm me saying "can i haz one" and be pissed off when i recommend you go to DTP and / or get in touch with Tom...

[heinz256]

Count me in for one!!!!!

I'll make sure there're enough of these dinky keychains, cuz I need you to custom make some stuff for me later on. :D

[stevieo]

sweet i'd like one!

[EvolizePhoto]

can these be for members only. i would hate to run into some dumb stranger with one of these fobs and be all like "hey bra whats your username" just to find out they don't even go on the site.

[Neonn]

Want =]

[rated_R]

:eek: I want one please :burnout:

[JordanEG6]

I'd like a couple of those :)

[TomcoPDR]

First 100 done... Just electroplated (faster, cheaper, simple) lol... Don't bitch cuz y'all gettin' them free. Ok seriously, if a graphic designer wants to DONATE their time, I can go through different finishes, process, for the next design run.

holy shit :poosie:

[kbye]

[Nels]

I'd love one!

[LongCity]

Those are fine how they are. If people complain without giving you plausible suggestions for how to make them better while still being cost friendly, then tell them to fuck off.

[A790]

Nicely done Tom.

If there are any left I'd like one as well :)

No, I mean, more are being made (I think 500-700 at least, don't quote me), but just first 100 are making their way through the postal system from China. dong

[Hi-Psi]

I'm out of town for work so I'm gonna miss DTP but if there are any leftover I would love one.

Thanks Tom for all you do for this community!

[flipstah]

Are these thick enough for username engraving in the back? I'll probably just do it myself.

[psycoticclown]

Do want :D

[GOnSHO]

If shipping goes well, the IDEA actually is to leave them at the Beyond booth, lol.

BAD IDEA!
Kids are greedy and stupid these days.
Not all of them, but a good majority of them.

Controlled handing them out seems like a better idea to me.
I can see alot of kids thinking its funny to take a bunch then just waste them.
