Re: MBI: "Thing" - My newest, top secret "the product with no name"
Your attention to detail is remarkable. I'm in for a couple matchbooks. Would love to be in possession of such fine craftsmanship. Thank you.
Thanks ChazHam,
For a lone-wolf-mcquade kinda operation guy, I do love the details but these days I'm aiming to try and find a balance between endless scope creep (striving for the impossible), being satisfied something is good enough and being able to share some new toys with you all, sooner rather than later.
Thanks GUY, I'm really looking forward to this, perhaps you can toss a few matchbooks in with that "huge box" of MBI goodness you will be sending to my nephews! And yes let's have multiple color match sticks down the road
Hi Zandar,
It might be a small big box (lol) with tiny things but a few MatchBooks are doable too :thumbsup:
Hi Guy! Why don't you put a couple matchbooks in with my Beta Thing-O!! Pretty please with a cherry on top!
Kinda silly asking after the fact, but how much does a matchbook cost?
Hi SA Condor,
lol, with pleasure.
Price for the MBI MatchBook, most likely $38~$40, the 8 matches being the most expensive part of course, magnets for each match, cover, book, bar magnets inside the book, as long as the printing is not too crazy, it ends up being about somewhere between $4~$5 per match.
If things go bananas and I end up making hundreds of them, I might be able to reduce the price a little but for now, other than getting the matchbooks printed, I'll be doing all the loving assembly and finicky work here
My proto matches were all hand painted and using thick card to make the box but I'm planning to make the matchbooks from some PET/PVC which is far more durable (somewhat similar to the plastic material used for folders with clear plastic sleeves inside them, perhaps just a little thinner), and I've found a very slick solution to replace the paint.
