Well, I'm down to the last...
After close to 60 tokens in total, I think. Don't know the exact number because I've spent around 20 on Assault on the Vault to earn VAULT letters. I just backed out of the table once when the left ball lock started to bug, otherwise the PS4 has just been waiting in suspended mode for whenever I've had time to play. The last 18 tokens I've gotten in batches of 3, after breaking into the vault and starting token multiball and getting the two extras through jackpots, but I've never gotten more than one new token per batch that way. I sure hope I'll get it before 100 total tokens, that's for sure, because I don't know how much more I can stomach of this table. It's a really good and original table, but this wizard goal really destroys it for anyone who aims for it. I don't want to give up now that I'm so close (I might take a long break if I don't have it within the next 20-30 tokens or so) but I sure as hell never want to play this table again when it's done...
Edit: 20 more tokens, still on 25/26...

I finally did it!
After many hours put in... The 30th token won after my 25th, without exiting the table, was the 26th and last I needed. Should be about a 1 in 25 chance to receive one you don't have, so yeah... I was about to give up.
So, with that, I just want to say, goodbye Safe Cracker - it was nice knowing you, but I'm never playing you again. And to Farsight, can you fire whomever came up with this wizard goal, please?

Guess I'll post mine as well. This obligatory video shows me earning that elusive 26th token in Safe Cracker on the Pinball Arcade. I used the pause method to help win the board game. This is almost essential due to the large amount of tokens you need to earn to collect them all. This video also shows a glitch where token multiball doesn't award tokens sometimes... I'm not sure what causes this glitch, but sometimes it would tell me I had 2 tokens remaining and other times not... Anyone know? Anyway, one tip you can see in the video is a soft launch and then hold up the upper flipper, then a hard left nudge when the ball rolls off the flipper for an easy catch. This is critical so that you don't accidentally enter by the roof when you don't want to, and also helps with ball control.

Got 12 in less than a week in FX3, and not only does it seem not to give out duplicates (and its 20 not 26 tokens), but there is the rewind option to undo a bad roll of the dice - much easier when I realised that.

Yeah, when you're playing in regular Single Player (with the old Zen physics and upgrades), you can use the Rewind upgrade during the board game. So, for example, if a 3 will land you on an alarm, and you roll a 3, just quick use rewind and roll again.
It takes a little getting used to, though. You've gotta make sure you rewind long enough. Sometimes you'll think you did, but nope, and then you're screwed because the rewind upgrade has a cool down time before you can use it again.
Playing that way is a good way to farm the tokens, since it makes getting to the vault easier than it used to be in TPA.
It doesn't matter what mode you earn a token in, you can see it on the machine and use it to play Assault on the Vault in any mode. Even with tokens earned in the challenge modes.

I can answer the spend one question...it disappears from the apron.

Makes sense that they'd stop building up on the apron, but does it at least remember how many you've earned for usage purposes?
What I mean is, if you would have earned a 21st token, and then you go to play Assault on the Vault, does it remember that you should have 21 tokens, or does it take one of the 20 from the apron?

Does the PS4 version still have that glitch where if you close out of the application, you lose a bunch of the tokens you earned? I experienced this problem on numerous occasions last year, but I haven't bothered to try it again lately.

You will not lose earned tokens but you have to earn ~80 more next time you play. Suppose you earned 60 tokens (24 distinct) at one go. Then you exit or TPA crashes.
Next time you play starting with 60 tokens. You will have to earn 80 more tokens without exiting until you collect 140 (60+80=140) to earn the last two distinct ones.

Oh gosh, earning those tokens is no easy task with all those obstacles on the board to avoid like the cyber dogs and the various alarms. Anyway, thanks for that info.
Is it possible that they patched it to save it the coin state in the machine? I had to restart this goal when I broke my phone and I'm on 21/26 with only 38 coins earnt. That's a significantly higher ratio than on my old phone.
