Donkey Kong 2 - D2K Project

Interesting, I ordered a month before you, yet received my stuff 3 weeks later. There must not be a 'order line' and more of a 'squeaky wheel' arrangement. I haven't emailed or bothered to ask at all throughout this whole time, just waited patiently, so maybe your emailing/calling showed more of an 'importance' in receiving this? /shrug Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with this, as I'm not ready to assemble the DK2 yet anyway. Might as well get the art to the guys who are ready - just don't forget me!
And I'm sure the Rich is getting these done as fast as possible, he seems to have a lot of irons in the fire and must be very busy.
I don't think that you would hear anything if you didn't pester, I didn't. I'm sure that he's trying to avoid setting expectations and then having unforeseen circumstances delay it causing people to get disappointed or mad. But I agree, an email once in a while would be nice. It wouldn't have to have a time estimate, just a simple 'I haven't forgot about you' would be nice. I was wondering if I was forgot when you guys were saying that you got your stuff in early Nov. and I hadn't. But again, I'm sure he's just super busy and taking time to email people just delays stuff more, so /shrug
And I agree, the work is excellent. I appreciate that he's making quality artwork for us, even if it takes a longer than anticipated.

Do you guys think Rich hit some sort of major snag, but is just too proud to admit it fearing people will feel let down? He has quite a stellar reputation to live up to that can lead to a lot of stress.

I am 99.9% sure this is not the case. When I talked to Rich a couple of weeks ago he had everything ready to go. I'm not 100% sure but I am pretty sure he had already ran a couple sets of the bezels and side art.

I just received a _VERY_ nice set of stuff from Rich.
Midway plates, Atari logo stickers, Bally Midway back-plate (incl. nails !), a corrected Galaxian CPO and an extremely nice bonus that I will report about in the appropriate thread.
Rich is 1000% OK, he's just been very busy. I too have mailed him once or twice about the status of my order. I'm sure he's just very very busy, and remember this is not his main business.
The stuff he makes sets the standard that others must be compared too. It's totally amazing. That's worth a little wait.
