I can keep them.  But if you buy new stuff from the IE shop, you'll get another ticket.  

I figured you wouldn't and you were just asking.

I have 3 and they take up virtually no space.

I love some of the ideas here: use as bookmarks or just to have in you wallet to show people and advertise.

Putting the word out to my Sons friends and people I know at work has been fun for me.

I'll keep them and I was just asking.  I don't have a use for the tickets except that they're a collectible.

I figured I could ask you because you are of course a charter member of the Amico brotherhood. 

You always have my support for all the great things you have done here. 

Thank you!😊

You're welcome and thank you for the kind words.  It means a lot.  🙂

Isn’t it supposed to be august 4? Maybe I misunderstood. Either way, I can’t wait.

I thought there was going to be a 2nd video before the Amico event.   We'll have to wait and see. 

I hope there will be. We’ll see.

That was awesome!  Thanks for posting!  Hadn't seen that one.

I think it's really cool seeing someone talk about it for the first time.  Especially when he mentions how it has a great price, he loves the look of the console, etc. 

20K subscribers too!

I preordered the VIP edition (249$ with 25$ credit for games), after that it has been revealed/confirmed about additional pack in games, double the internal storage (16gb to 32gb) and button attachments for phones (to use as additional controllers). All things I thought I would have had to pay extra for at the time of preorder, so for me personally, the only thing that has gone up since the first trailer is the value, not the cost. 

Love this!

Thank-you!!!!!!!

Hasbro & Mattel... Wouldn't That Be Something?™

Fun Fact: Hasbro purchased Milton Bradley which was located in Springfield, MA... the place I was born and raised!

We've discontinued that.  It was only for a limited time!  So you may want to hold on to those.  No more will be made.

Well in that case I'll definitely hold onto them.

I'd like to get a hoodie that is a zip-up, but can't find one.

E-mail [email protected] and tell him you'd like to see that added to the store.  Will be trying to get more stuff up in the store by August 4th.

Tommy,

There was a 25% off discount emailed to those who pre-ordered a FE or VIP.  The discount code expired a few months ago.   You said it could still be used once new merch was in the IE shop.  I kept the email with the discount code for when the new merch releases.  

So my question is, are you going to honor the old discount code or will a new one be sent out?

I received an Intellivision hat from the online store yesterday.  Nice!

Questions for Tommy:

1) You recently said you need 50K units to reach the "sustainability" point and 180K to "break even". Could you explain the differences between the two?

2) When you said you were "half way there" in regards to the 180K, does it mean 90K people have already preordered the console?
