Over the years Ive had people ask me over and over to make these but there wasn't enough people to justify it. I made a promise to one of the people who has been on me for several years about these to make an official interest list. So here it goes.

This is an interest list only at this time.

Screened glass, not an underlay. If you've ever compared an underlay to the print on glass it's night and day. Especially the black, which is deep and rich. Price will be just under $200 plus shipping.

If we get enough people interested I will firm up pricing and start a preorder. But first things first.

Please email me directly at [email protected]

Thanks.
 
I would take a Pac if you made them. Weren't most if not all of the MsPacs underlays from the factory?
 
I have never seen a Ms. Pac with a screened glass top. All of them (I've seen) were underlays, just like the repros. Pac-Man had the screened glass top...
 
If you get more interest than expected does that mean the price would be lowered? I would be interested but $200 is a bit steep.

Yeah, your right. After looking at the others, "GRAPHICS ON REVERSE OF TEMPERED GLASS". That means printed to me not screened.

Huh?

I have seen numerous Ms. Pac-Man CTs with screened artwork (printed on the bottom side of the glass). Admittedly, I have also seen lots with underlays too, but the screened glass always looks sooooo much better.

I got confused......better now. Cocktail not upright:0

not if you were to price out a repro of this kind

for example, twobits sells their glass bezel for the MsPac upright for $179 and measures 21x23 (483 sq inches) and is 6 colors

the cocktail glass is much bigger at 22x32 (704 sq inches) and is 7 colors (black is screened twice).

my goal is to charge double my cost for a fair profit minus overhead and taxes. I always deliver a nice product and dont play around with shipping times.

Im basing these prices on that formula for a qty of 50. I was told twobits printed a much higher qty 200. if the interest list is strong enough and we could get as many as 25 prepaids I might be able to jump the qty to 75 and drop it $10-$15. I dont see this as a 200 piece run.

again Im taking a stab at this for the guys who keep bothering me about it. I can say I tried if we failed.

I know its much cheaper to get an underlay and a seperate piece of glass. Ive done it countless times myself. I guess this would cater to the true home collectors where nothing short of nos or a repro strikingly close to nos would suffice. btw, ever see the price of an nos cocktail glass on ebay and how often they come up?

I knew I wasn't the only one wanting a Pac. At least all the Pacs originally came with screened art.
 
I have shopped this around to numerous printers and suppliers trying to get costs down. Its very difficult to get this price down from where I first began. Lots of printers dont want to touch rounded glass.

I hope to announce something next week. Stay tuned.
