PLAYER ONE

PLAYER TWO

PLAYER THREE

PLAYER FOUR

Here's what to do:

Click this link to send me an email. Indicate how many of which type of button you would like, and hit send.

Remember to include your REAL NAME as WELL AS your nick here, so I know who I'm talking to. I will add your wants to a spreadsheet I have for this.

Edit: if you're NOT from the US, please indicate your country.

Price is $4.00 per button, plus Priority shipping in the US, and Global priority shipping outside the US.

Pre-Orders will be open for two weeks from today. So, on July 8, 2004 @ 9pm EST, that will be the cut off. The order will go out the following morning.

Don't think I've left anything out.

You probably want to confirm what kinds of payments you take now.

Ah, yes, good idea.

Checks, money orders, BidPay and NON CREDIT-CARD FUNDED PAYPAL. Sorry for shouting that last part, but I wanted to make it quite clear. No exceptions.

Are they convex or concave?

SirPeale · « **Reply #4 on:** June 28, 2004, 10:57:34 pm »

Concave. Just like Happ horizontal pushbuttons, because they're made by the same people.

SirPeale · « **Reply #5 on:** June 30, 2004, 12:33:25 pm »

I guess the popularity of the first run has gotten the word out! On my last order I was struggling to find enough to make it worthwhile, but finally did. That was with a month of pre-orders.

This time around, it's been up less than a week, and I've already surpassed the old pre-order amount!

crashwg · « **Reply #6 on:** June 30, 2004, 11:32:41 pm »

Are the buttons you're getting the same as the ones supplied by Ultimarc?

SirPeale · « **Reply #7 on:** July 01, 2004, 07:47:04 am »

The buttons I'm getting are the same one supplied by Happ. I don't know what kind of buttons Ultimarc has.

SirPeale · « **Reply #8 on:** July 06, 2004, 05:28:57 pm »

Well, the tallies for the buttons are currently:

Player 1: 75
Player 2: 75
Player 3: 22
Player 4: 22

For a total of 194 buttons (so far). This nearly doubles the original order!

Don't forget, preorders end on the 8th!

SirPeale · « **Reply #9 on:** July 07, 2004, 12:00:58 pm »

Getting down to the wire. Just had one person back out of their order. I'd love to see the total of this order be over 250 buttons. I'd also hate to see a lot of after pre-order regrets!

SirPeale · « **Reply #10 on:** July 08, 2004, 08:31:47 am »

Just 12 1/2 hours to go! If you've been *thinking* about getting some buttons, now is the time. After 9 tonight, that's it!

Aceldamor · « **Reply #11 on:** July 08, 2004, 04:27:33 pm »

Peale...I want to order, but can't pay you until next pay day...Is that cool?

SirPeale · « **Reply #12 on:** July 08, 2004, 06:09:16 pm »

I am not asking for money now. I won't have the buttons in hand for at least another month and a half.

This is just when the pre-order ends. So if you're interested, fire away an email! Three hours left to go!

SirPeale · « **Reply #13 on:** July 09, 2004, 11:14:27 am »

Well, that's it! If you didn't get in now, it's Tethered Swimming for you!

Aceldamor · « **Reply #14 on:** July 09, 2004, 11:37:10 am »

Damn....didn't get back to the forums in time.....

Oh well, mabye next time

SirPeale · « **Reply #15 on:** July 12, 2004, 03:18:51 pm »

It looks like my order dates were *way* off. After my last order they made extras for whenever I ordered again. I should have everything next week!

Santoro · « **Reply #16 on:** July 12, 2004, 03:51:10 pm »

woo hoo! I assume you will post here when you are ready for Payment?

SirPeale · « **Reply #17 on:** July 12, 2004, 05:32:49 pm »

Actually, I thought I'd just email. That was the reason for asking for them.

Santoro · « **Reply #18 on:** July 12, 2004, 08:56:00 pm »

Doh. Of course.

dag2000 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2004, 02:17:05 pm »

Anything new?

SirPeale · « **Reply #20 on:** July 26, 2004, 02:19:13 pm »

Still waiting. If something is new I'll post, believe me.

SirPeale · « **Reply #21 on:** July 28, 2004, 10:26:49 am »

Good news and bad news.

The good news is that the buttons arrived today. A big, huge box 'O buttons.

The bad news is that 1/2 the 1P buttons have been *backordered* despite my asking to receive the shipment in one lot.

Expect to hear from me in the next few days if you preordered buttons.

MiKman · « **Reply #22 on:** August 04, 2004, 12:39:13 pm »

whoo hoo you just made my day!

Edit:
Looks like you could have made my day a few days ago haha.

Have you sent out emails yet to those who pre-ordered?

SirPeale · « **Reply #23 on:** August 11, 2004, 12:53:34 pm »

Just got the remainder of the P1 buttons in, so those of you who haven't heard from me yet should shortly.

Khenemet Heru · « **Reply #24 on:** August 11, 2004, 01:06:59 pm »

cool, I'm so psyched

GadgetGeek · « **Reply #25 on:** August 16, 2004, 03:39:41 pm »

Mine just showed today. Sweet. That might be the kicker I need to get something built to show them off in.
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SirPeale · « **Reply #26 on:** August 16, 2004, 03:43:07 pm »

Speaking of which, people please post your pictures of your projects with the buttons!

Khenemet Heru · « **Reply #27 on:** August 16, 2004, 04:12:57 pm »

got mine too! Thanks Peale, and I will definitely post some photos once my CP is done

Goz · « **Reply #28 on:** August 16, 2004, 08:35:32 pm »

Peale for President..... just kidding.

I recieved mine today and actully picked them up for a CP that I am still designing.

Thanks again,

-Goz

froggerman · « **Reply #29 on:** August 17, 2004, 12:43:51 am »

Hi Peale,

Should we all have received an e-mail by now? I haven't seen one yet...unless it went into the spam bit bucket.

BobA · « **Reply #30 on:** August 17, 2004, 08:13:58 am »

Hi

I probably put my preorder in at the end of the time period. Just wondering if I should have had an email yet.

Thanks
BobA

SirPeale · « **Reply #31 on:** August 17, 2004, 09:32:46 am »

The only people I haven't emailed yet are most of the people who are out of the US. It was easy to calculate the shipping for everyone in the US (a flat rate up to 1 lb). Everyone not in the US I've been a little slow, and I apologize. Going thru some 'difficulties' at home, and my wife and I are trying to tackle that. I'll make sure that everyone gets mailed, though.

If you ARE in the US, and haven't received an email by now, it may have gotten filtered as Spam. I had one message bounce back, as I'm using an actual email program with a Hotmail profile, and since the sending server didn't match the Hotmail server profile, I got a message saying 'this message smells like Spam.' That was resent direct from Hotmail, and it went thru.

So if you're in the US, and didn't get a mail, PM me.

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #32 on:** August 17, 2004, 04:52:44 pm »

I just got home from work an the 'bizarro world' start buttons were waiting for me. They turned out great- much cleaner than the white start buttons I got from Wico recently.

Thanks again Peale, you rock!

gap · « **Reply #33 on:** August 25, 2004, 09:15:00 am »

Are there any extras?

DevilMan77 · « **Reply #34 on:** September 05, 2004, 04:04:20 pm »

I'd really like some of these buttons (1 ea 1, 2, 3, & 4) if they're still available. I'm guessing I'm out of luck, but they'd look a lot nicer on my CP than the white ones I have now, so I'll cross my fingers.

rjarcade · « **Reply #35 on:** September 16, 2004, 08:53:12 pm »

I am also a bit late to the party. If anyone has a P1 and a P2 that they could spare, I am interested in 1 or 2 of each. PM me with terms.

nipsmg · « **Reply #36 on:** September 20, 2004, 02:47:47 pm »

I'd love some too.. but..

maybe this is a stupid question:

If there are no more available, why is this still a sticky?

--NipsMG

SirPeale · « **Reply #37 on:** September 20, 2004, 03:27:28 pm »

There are some available, I just haven't had the time recently to dedicate towards this project.

My wife and I are expecting our third child in May. She's had an absolutely miserable time with the pregnancy. So between taking care of her and the boys, I've barely had time to take care of the arcade stuff.

You're right though - it's time to take this post off sticky. I'll probably stick the remaining buttons on eBay.

Did you sent out to all the international buyers already? I didn't see any e-mail about it, but that might have been my spam filter.

No, I haven't, and I'm sorry. Goes in hand with the whole Real Life thing.

Don't worry, those buttons have been set aside.
