Today I'm going to look at the Customeeple Token Box!
Overview: I am a token freak. I want all the tokens, I want the nicest tokens. I want a token for every conceivable situation in the game. If I've got twenty guys in loss of Liutenant who go irregular whilst in suppression fire with a tinbot each and are all burnt, I want the tokens to represent it. Well, maybe not that many, but you get the picture. Up until now, my tokens have lived in a little drawstring pouch, not unlike a wizards gold coin-purse. Unfortunately, this means that, prior to every game, I must upend by 'sac-magique' and empty a ridiculous amount of tokens out, and find the ones I want. Customeeple offer a solution to people like me, a snazzy token box.
Specifics: It looks a little like a partitioned Tupperware box. In fact it's strikingly similar to a small DIY box where men with manly hands might keep their screws and washers. However, this little box comes with the option of having your faction logo etched onto it. Here, I have opted for my faction of choice, Steel Phalanx. Note you can get Faction or Sectorial logos. In my order there was also a Tohaa one for my friend, which is equally as nice.
It as also possible to buy this product as part of a faction set, with a full set of customeeple tokens, however I purchased only the empty box, as I have a treasure trove of tokens already.
It's size is 16cm x 12,25 cm x 3 cm, and is made from PVC free plastic.
Price: The box is €4.50 (approx £3.40/$5.15)
Shipping to the UK was €10 and arrived in 5 working days.
Customer Service: as previously stated, Customeeples website is very good.
However special mention must be made of the customer service I received on this order. As the shipping from Spain is no joke, we clubbed together at the...club... for this order. However, like a prat, no sooner had I placed the order, than I remembered I had forgotten the bits that another guy not present had wanted. My mistake. To compound matters, it was a few piddly bits, meaning the cost of shipping would dwarf the cost of the products were I to place a second order.
I fired a quick e-mail to Customeeple asking if I could possibly add a few bits to the order. This was Monday afternoon. On Tuesday, I got an email from Customeeple apologising as they'd missed my email and had already shipped my order. Instead, they offered to send me the rest of the bits I needed for no additional shipping, as they hadn't responded to my email in time.
The whole thing was my mistake in the first place, but Customeeple made it right for me. That's pretty awesome customer service as far as I'm concerned.
Both parts of the order arrived a week later.
Quality/Durability I mean, it's a little plastic box that looks cool. It probably is just a hardware box, with some etching on, but for a couple of quid it's a nice little accessory,
I mainly use MAS tokens, it's deep enough to fit them on their side (In fact they're a perfect fit)
In there I have 158 tokens with room for a couple more. I placed them in a little system where I know which tokens are where. If you had less, you could just put similar tokens in the separate compartments.
Usefulness I mean...it's a box. But a cool little box with my faction logo. This is nice to have not need to have. It's useful for me as I no longer have to empty out my silly velvet lined bag every time a trooper gets immobilised.
Summary Don't go and order this for the sake of it. But if you're ordering from Customeeple anyway, for £3 you may as well throw one on top, have a funky little faction logo to show all your mates who's boss.
