Brian planned wisely and from scratch developed a really awesome product. He chose three of the most popular arcade cabinet shapes that allowed him the most flexibility for producing arcade cabinet artwork and I think that decision is worth supporting in a financial fashion, whether these are absolute personal favorite games or not. Granted, I have my favorite arcade games, but I dreamed within the bounds he chose and hopefully we can all think that way too. Let's get excited about the keychain options we have for Atari, Williams and Taito cabinets (because there are plenty) and not what we don't have available and hope that Brian doesn't feel like we discounted his efforts in any way by second guessing his planning. @For all replies:

The short list Centipede, Robotron and Taito (frontline style) Medium list Moon Patrol, Sinistar, Food Fight Long list Midway cab styles, Arabian, Kangaroo Pedes are actually available now, I just don't have any of them pre engraved at this point. Same for Moon patrol. These came out pretty cool, been working on them for a few months to perfect everything. it's a long process including someone willing to let me rent laser time for metal cutting (runs 7 cents a SECOND cost wise). Hopefully people like em :) /brian Hiya.. just so everyone knows what’s in the works…

If I had tools like that I'd be engraving everything in the house. :) I think I’m going to wait a bit and see what other ones he makes.

I dropped a solider when I saw the price. Here I thought...the price for these keychains would make them a total arcade novelty item, but $13 tops is really cheap. You can't beat an engraved arcade keychain, with a ton of options for artwork, for just over $10. I would guess, if you can get a preorder in and you don't care about matching art with a cabinet, you could just retrofit some favorite piece of art to fit on the most generic of cab designs, like the Taito. Like, if you wanted to do Baby Pacman or something.... @Jamie:

I wasn't sure what they would look like by seeing the blanks from your other post, but now I definitely want one. I'll probably hold off for a Centipede if he does do those. These look great!
