:) They've assured me that once I order, production time will be about 3 weeks. So, yes, definitely this year...Optimistically, look for them by the end of June.

I finally got around to getting an led inside the button. Here are a couple of pics that I took:
1) The picture does not do it justice. My camera doesn't seem to want to take a proper picture in low-light conditions. Maybe I'll try setting up a tripod to eliminate the blurriness from the long exposure time.
2) It looks amazing with the light inside. A wonderful glow and not too harshly bright.
3) There is only one LED inside (a blue one from modsthatglow.com). I simply removed the plunger & spring, placed the led inside with the lead wires going out through the bottom. I put the plunger/spring back, hooked up the wiring and then put the microswitch back in. This method worked great and did not interfere with the microswitch.
4) There was no need for "frosting" the plunger, as the led caused the whole thing to glow and it was not a glaring single point of light.

I sure hope those new samples show up soon. I can't wait to see the other colors. If they come in at $3 a button you can put me down for around a dozen. Thanks for all your hard work in making this happen.

I think frosting would be more useful for while the LED is off, so you don't look in there and see the button's innards too much...
But, really, if the button is unfrosted one can probably frost it at home. That way people are happy whether they want it frosted or not.
