Jesus you guys, is it too much to ask for a little f*cking support here? I understand that the time from first post to now is past the border into insanity, but I am still dealing with the trainwreck that is royalbuttons. And to be honest, you guys are kind of insulting me here, and making it reeealy hard to want to keep working on these.
If you assumed that all issues had been worked out and the buttons would be at your doorstep within a month, I am truly sorry you were mislead but I haven't a clue where you got that time-frame from.
As for those "facts" (I can use quotations too) that renderinfo posted, basically, from Apr 21 to now, I personally have been responsible for the success of these. A month isn't great, but it's far from the "doom" of the endeavor.
The fact is, the buttons are at the presses, and they'll be done when the're done. Alright?
I think the main thing that made us think they were coming soon was this:

That was posted Tue May 24, 2011 4:19 pm. I think many of us, myself included, assumed we would have them within a week or two. Or at least have an announcement that you have received them and would be shipping them out shortly. I understand you feel attacked, and we are all glad you are doing this, and I am sure you regret ever starting it now lol.
However, from our point of view you have our money and we have been waiting a while now, regular updates, even to say "still waiting for them to ship to me, ect." would ease a lot of minds. Also as was said earlier, you unfortunately have the stigma of other fan projects on these boards to deal with, I have been involved in 4 different things, none of which have gone as planned, all of which were long delayed or canceled. So, I don't think anyone is mad, at least I'm not, but you have our money and we like updates. :p

The Flynn's pin actually ended up being my favorite of all.
Bravo Gerald, Bravo

Yeah, this and another project that I won't name (as I have at least PART of what I paid for which is more than I know some who are still waiting for even that can say) just seem to have been pushed to the side. I understand life can take over the best of intentions from time to time, but some of this is getting ridiculous at this point. When I paid, I was under the impression that the problems were sorted and that I'd have the buttons within a month or so. Guess not.

A-hem. I will "tone down" my current message by simply checking as to the status of the button production. It has been a while since we DIDN'T LEARN the NAME of the sales person who is MANAGING OUR ORDER!!! AND THEY'RE GOING TO USE THE WRONG TINT OF BLUE ON THEM UNLESS WE ACT NOW!
FOOLS! WE'RE DOOMED! DOOMED!
(So, did they finish makin' 'em yet? )

I miss talking about Flynn Lives
Fan Products, while awesome, are no substitute.
Sigh...
