We've been hard at work on our 2012 Prize Catalog for the last 3 months, and are now a mere 4 days away from sending it off to the printer. Many of you have been asking about it, and we're super excited to say it should be in your hands before the busy month of March begins!

One of the trade-offs for pouring my heart and soul into the catalog for the better part of the last few months is getting the first look at our new items. There are some really cool LEGO toys like Batman and Catwoman, our new art deco twist to the 175mm spring, and the Tabletop Jukebox. Of course, this is only 4 out of almost 1000 items.

So don't forget - around the second part of February, look for the purple & green catalog featuring the adorable girl with the purple plush dragon on the front and then call Redemption Plus!

(I almost forgot, if you don't currently receive our catalog, you can sign up for it at here .)

It looks like a good time to upgrade to high volume ticket dispensers at Benchmark. Courtesy of their latest newsletter, here are the details:

More HAPPY customers!!!
Now is an excellent time to look at adding Benchmark's Intelli series ticket dispenser to your non-Benchmark Games. Both the dual and triple models are currently on sale and are an excellent value for all of the features they offer.

The Intelli-Dual dispenser, normally $199.95, is now on sale for $114.00 (part # 85ELE014). It dispenses 12,000 standard thickness tickets (2 full bins )before you have to reload, which prevents downtime and lost revenue. A conversion kit is available to convert your non-Benchmark game to accept this new dispenser.
The Intelli-Triple dispenser, normally $249.95, is now on sale too for $164.00 (part#82ELE015). It dispenses 18,000 standard thickness tickets (3 full bins) and is also available with a conversion kit.
Some great features of the Intelli series include: •Intelli series dispensers run faster than any other dispenser on the market today. •Jams aren't a problem, because if a jam occurs in one ticket channel, the Intelli detects it, starts another ticket channel and continues dispensing tickets to your customer….. Happy customers equate to larger cash boxes.

Pinnacle/Redemption Plus Team with Namco's Speedy's One Stop to Assist Customers

Pinnacle Entertainment Advisors by Redemption Plus works on game operations with many customers that own and operate their own games. “One of the greatest challenges our customers face is consistent, effective, and affordable technical support, parts and repair service,” said George McAuliffe, Pinnacle President. To help address this issue, we have created a relationship with NAMCO Cybertainment’s Speedy’s One Stop to offer its service and repair capabilities to our customers.Speedy’s provides game service and repair for many factories, distributors, and operators as well as their own nationwide operating system with nearly 20,000 games. If you have those hard to repair or hard to find items, Speedy’s can handle almost any situation you encounter. As the market changes and parts and service are harder to find, we think this is a great tool to offer our customers. After all, “down” games don’t make any money. Reducing downtime and getting repairs right the first time supports our mission to help our customers be more profitable and successful.Speedy’s is offering a 10% discount to all Redemption Plus customers and Pinnacle clients on their initial repair order. For this first order, the customer can send in as many boards, monitor chassis and other components (that others suppliers may have said could not be repaired) and get the 10% discount on the entire order! During a recent tour of Speedy’s repair facility, McAuliffe noted the wide array of test fixtures and work stations capable of repairing everything from gun harnesses to sophisticated board systems. They can fix items that even some factories say cannot be repaired or will have to be sent out of the country. In addition, Speedy obtains many hard to find parts or reproduces them in house. This creates additional savings and the turnaround time is, well, speedy.Speedy’s can be reached by phone at 630-238-2229 or email your repair request to repairs@sosrepairservice.com. Discount offer for Redemption Plus customers is good until January 31, 2011.

Redemption Plus Vice President of Product Solutions, Mark Hollywood, is quoted in a Vending Times article about rising plush toy costs.

According to the article, the price of plush toys is likely to rise due to dramatic price increases in cotton and other materials.  Cotton prices are near historic highs and this has caused a ripple effect in all materials production.
