Introducing the New and Exclusive AUSSIE PINBALL BEENIES. $#$ ( I will have some photos of the AP Sports Caps avail in the next few days as well) These sports caps will be great for summer and will be red n black in colour. AP Beenie for the night/cold day and a AP Sports Cap for daytime. ^^^
A few months ago I contacted the Moderators (Nino-Strangeways & Nick-Pinnies4me) and asked if I could produce a quality Beenie for AP Members to wear when its cold, or just to add a bit of fashion advertising for our great site. After a few months of securing a quality beenie and some great embroidery for it, we have come up with 2 x colours that have been approved for future production and release. ^^^ A Black Beenie or a Red Beenie.
I have apx 15 beenies to give away, and will work with Nino and Nick to send these out at random, then I will be happy to take orders for anyone who wants multiples etc. The final cost (after all the freeby's have been given away) will be apx $15 each, maybe even cheaper, depending on how many I order in the next production run.
(AP Sports caps will be the same price). These are a quality washable stretchy one size fits all Beenie with quality embroidery done on a $40,000 (40 grand) Embroidery machine. The Embroidery costs more than the Beenie ! but quality comes at a price. Sports caps are embroided identical to the beenies from the same company.
If you are interested in a Beenie, and a AP Sports Cap, PM me your name and address etc and add your interest here.
THE SOONER I GET THE INTEREST AND NUMBERS UP, THE SOONER I WILL GET THE NEXT BATCH MADE !
Given that we have so many members, the freeby's wont last long so pretend you have to pay a little to support the Forum. All future production runs will be supplied to AP members for cost or less. If u promise to wear the Beenie and send in a photo of it on ya head for the post, I will pay for the postage.
Nino and Nick will be recieving a package in the mail this next 3 or 4 days, and I look forward to a photo of the guys wearing their new AP Beenies.
Thanks for reading and supporting the AP Forum. $#$

Looks great Brett, if you do more in the future any chance of a dark blue, PM sent.
Forgot to add black for me, don't wear red.
-
What a great product.
Well with living in the U.K. I think I am in more need of one than you lot down under. (ha ha)
Put me down for one , either colour I don't mind. Its started getting colder here now so will be most welcome.
Darren.
-
Look good!!
Black for me ^^^
-
Black for me please Brett.
Great job and thanks for taking the time to get these up and running.
-
Great idea Brett!
Put me down for one mate.
-
no probs guys. I think these will be popular. and yes, I will send one to (Replicas) overseas as well. ^^^
again, a big thanks to Nick n Nino for allowing the creation of this product.
-
Brett has put a lot of his own time and expense into this venture. It is always great to see the site promoted, and also to keeo our heads warm ^^^
Thanks for your effort, Brett ^^^
-
Yes, kudos Brett for your efforts with this. ^^^
-
But it is coming up summer time
Maybe embroidered budgie smugglers would have been more seasonal?
-
I was thinking of the VIC guys when I ordered these Beenies. It doesnt get cold much in QLD but when it does it is freezing.
Even so, summer will soon pass and at least if ya are going to wear a Beenie, it will be a nice touch wearing something that supports the forum. ^^^
Most people are asking for black so I think the next production run will be black beenie with coloured writing as per the pictures. People are also asking for a AP Sports Cap so I will have a demo model avail to show a photo of in the next few days as well.
I will be going camping during Xmas, and on the beach around a camp fire, I think these beenies will come in handy. My brother wants a few beenies for his fishing trips.
He asked for red so his mates can see his head glowing in the dark before he falls off the boat or the rocks with a 50 kilogram fish dragging him out to sea %.% %.%
Stay tuned for a photo of the AP Sports Cap which i will get Nino and Nick to approve as well. PM for any interest here as well. ^^^
-
Gets bloody cold fishing for winter whiting down on the spit Brett.. ill need one mate.
If need be.. ill take grey instead... cant wear red, it matches my eyes too well
-
Great work Brett they look great put me down for one PM sent ^^^
-
I will be posting out a whack of AP Beenies via Australia Post tomorrow. ^^^ Its only been a few days and the demand/requests have been very strong already.
To all the guys who have sent a PM, thanks, and they will be on their way tomorrow.
If u want extras, in time for Xmas, just let me know. ( i will do the same again when the AP caps arrive and Nino/Nick sign off on them) ^^^ ^^^
-
**UPDATE**
I have posted out around 30 Beenies to the same number of Members. Hope they are handy on cold nights. Thanks for supporting the forum and i hope they advertise the forum a little. If u like them, u are welcome to ask for extras. Black Beenies or Red Beenies will be available on request.
-
UPDATE 2.
I have had quite a few people phone and email me today saying that their AP BEENIE had arrived. Looks like the mail has hit Melbourne/VIC today. Probably other states and areas this next few days as well. ^^^
If u sent me a PM and yours doesnt arrive this next 3 or 4 days, dont worry, the next batch of black is being made as we talk. The first 40 went in the first 3 days.
There is apx 3 or 4 guys from VIC/QLD who will be getting theirs in this next batch.
Thanks for reading.
-
Thanks very much for the Beenie. They are great quality and will get plenty of use down here in the never never.

Hi Brett, thanks heaps for the free gift - came this morning, looks great.
-
Blair (Pintoxicated), that black n white mask picture above looks just like my x-wife. The shape of the unhappy mouth looks identical. %.% %.%
Hopefully when it gets cold again, the scream mask will lose his head wear. Imagine going down to McDonalds wearing both, as u order from the drive thru. $#$
-
The mother in law tried it on as well and said she really liked it. *)*

Eney chance of them coming out on caps?, I would be interest in one ^^^
-
#*# How cool does Homer look!
-
Eney chance of them coming out on caps?, I would be interest in one ^^^
The answer is YES to the Aussie Pinball caps. I have to pop down to the factory on Monday and pick up the final sample for Nino and Nicks approval. ^^^
They are a red n black caps with Embroidery identical to the black beenies. Anyone interested in a Cap should PM me, or add a "interest post" on here. Same if anyone wants more beenies or just one.
The caps will be apx $15 give or take a dollar or two. But they do look good.There are literally hundreds of cap designs etc, but ya have to watch the costs cause with caps, you can buy hundreds of different types and the $ rises quickly etc the fancier u go.
-
I will grab a beenie next time we catch up if there are any left mate. 1 beenie is worth how many bourbon cans? :D
On the subject of caps...I'd grab a fitted cap if they were being done. ^^^
-
Daz, I have only a few blue beenies left until the next batch run which will be black etc. By the time I see u, I shld have the black ones ready.
I Will post pics of the caps when i pick up this next 2 or 3 days. ^^^
-
Hi Caveoftreasures, I just found this thread. Not sure if your planning another run of caps, but I'd be interested in a couple If you do.
Cheers
Adam

Hi.
I actually did a trial run of red n black AP Caps, and they came out really good. The only problem was that my kids n family nicked them all within the first 24 hours and the 12 samples went in 5 seconds and I never got around to taking photos for the forum. I could get off my arse and do another batch i guess.
In the meantime, I have a few AP Beenies left so I will post you one Crashramp24(Adam) if u PM me your postal address.
regards, Brett ^^^
-
Hey Cavey,
Would it be inappropriate to grab an AP Beanie as well? !@#
I’m not expecting a freebie, and I’m happy to cough up some funds.
Cheers,
Andy
-
How much for one?
-
Beenie is free if u want one AJ and Andtan. I think thats the last few left done and dusted for you 2 blokes. I can take expressions of interest if anyone else wants one.
Just PM me your address.
Caps were apx $15 each, but I have to get another batch done. It only takes a 3 or 4 day period to get caps made, but ?? enough interest for another batch ?? !@#
-
PM sent - Cheers ^^^
-
Ok , great. I will post tomorrow since I am going to the post office. ^^^ enjoy.
-
Thanks Brett very generous of you, PM sent. Much appreciated. Count me in for Caps also. Just let me know payment details and I'll get it to you.
Adam
-
I will do another batch of beenies since I have had alot more people asking for them. Just add a post here if u want one. I gave the first batch away for free, so I will not be charging anyone this time round either. ^^^
I will also get a batch of caps made again. It is likely the caps will cost apx $15 to $20 but I will make sure they are top quality, cause there is nothing worse than a cheap cap.lol Black n Red will be the colours of the caps.
-
Yep let me know when available. I will grab a cap and beanie.
Cheers
Troy
-
Yep I will have a red beenie when they become available Brett. cheers
-
Very Generous, count me in for one, thanks ^^^
-
Can't believe this is the first time I've come across this thread .
Any chance you could put me down for a black beanie Brett . Do they come in one-size-fits-all or do I have to run the tape measure around my noggin ?? %.%
Cheers mate,
Scott.
-
Cruiserman, they are a one size fits all scenairio, I have ordered more. (the second beenie batch might be different to the first batch in that the supplier of the beenie itself will be local versus me having to wait for the overseas supplier to ship etc)
The last time I put up the original beenie post, they went like hotcakes, which was good for advertising Aussie Pinball.
I will supply a photo of the AP Caps, during this week coming as well. ^^^
-
I wouldn't mind one of those bennies also Brett keep me scon warm in the Melbourne winter :lol
Peter
-
Put me down for a black beanie please Brett. Would like to pay for it, or if you won't take any money for it will make a donation to AP. Great for you to do this.
-
order list updated. ^^^
I will post out the rest as soon as i pick up the stock from the embroidery company who does the excellent artwork on them.
-
Brett sent me samples and I don't need all three. So I'm happy to give either the Grey or Blue beanie to a member. I want to keep the black for myself && Either pick up or I'll post.
