-Poll of Intrest- Reproduction Club Sega Entry Mats, etc
So I been thinking of this for months, I dont have any proofs and im just polling for intrest right now. Raise of hands if anyone wants a cooooooool looking Club Sega entry mat for their home arcade room or even a Taito Station mat.
I think it would be really spiffy especially for that die hard sega fan boy. The size will be reduced to be slightly larger than a standard single door entry and of good quality. Im not sure the pricing yet its so early. Im also thinking of adding a very very tiny masters mark some where to denote it being a reproduction so people dont think its authentic down the line but thats up for debate.
If I get enough intrest Ill go out find the best priced / quality mat manufacturer and have a mock up made for me to test at home, see what the quality is like.
If we get enough intrest as well maybe we can work out a group buy, that way the prices will drop significantly because of bulk discounts, so please let me know what you think.
Are there any game centers you guys like that I didnt mention that you would like?
Let me know in the thread. I would love your feed back!!
Again this is a Poll of intrest and as such please select an answer on the poll.
Thanks

Re: -Poll of Intrest- Reproduction Club Sega Entry Mats, etc
What type of mat, can you post an example?
Any option for a larger mat, say big enough to sit in front of a cab with room for two stools?

Rossyra:L I can provide an example of what I am speaking of in terms of size, I should be large enough to sit in front of a candy and accommodate stools
Cools: no only whats available on the internet, I was thinking I could get a graphics design buddy to pull the logos from something else or make from scratch.

Care to link them?
I've never seen any apart from the NeoGeo World one so I'm curious to how they look.

Yeah, me too. The one NGF wanted $20k for or something ridiculous.cools wrote: I've never seen any apart from the NeoGeo World one so I'm curious to how they look.
In this case I don't think you'd have to worry about people thinking they're original.

Re: -Poll of Intrest- Reproduction Club Sega Entry Mats, etc
This would be an example of what I am talking about only maybe a bit smaller, as that mat seems to be sized for a double entry door way

Re: -Poll of Intrest- Reproduction Club Sega Entry Mats, etc
Those look pretty cool. International shipping likely to be a killer though due to weight and size?

If they're rubber backed @ 2mm thickness it's 2.5kg a square meter. Average door width is 0.75m, to scale with original is somewhere about 1.5 x 1m so somewhere about 4kg plus the weight of the fabric.
Also to consider is the blend of the fabric used iirc they would have had a high synthetic fibre count due to expected wear in a public area. It's not necessary for huo mats, but natural fibres tend to be heavier and may be denser than you think and will add quickly to the weight.
1:1 scale i would imagine them being nearer 10kg than 5 all in.

Re: -Poll of Intrest- Reproduction Club Sega Entry Mats, etc
Mine might be slightly larger than his though but thats why im holding this poll. I could maybe offer a variety of sizes to choose upon keep the ideas coming
Edit like I said I will get specific sizes soon.
And yes the Idea was for plush fiber rubber backed.

Re: -Poll of Intrest- Reproduction Club Sega Entry Mats, etc
I'd definitely be up for a Sega mat, although not sure which design I prefer atm. I like the Club Sega vibe, but I also like the SEGA logo styles linked to above
For where I'd put it the 80cm x 60cm size is better for me.
