If you're wondering why I haven't released either of the two new designs (Haunted House and Williams Factory Logo), it's because some people who ordered the CGCC crest still haven't paid for it (There's still a few people who haven't picked up their Black Knight crests too).
It may be as simple as they haven't been logged in for awhile, or haven't bothered to follow the thread.
The reality is I'm still owed a significant amount, and my Visa isn't getting paid off.
I have 15 unclaimed CGCC crests if anyone wants them - $6.50 each + $1.18 shipping.
There's still some Black Knight crests left...$7.50 + $1.18 shipping. There's still some MAACA crests left...$6.50 + $0.53 shipping.
This type of crap makes me seriously consider why I'm doing this. I have been doing this for you guys - so you can have something unique. I pay for them up front. I'm not making any money out of this. Yet, I get stuck holding the bag. It's hardly great incentive for me to make any more.
Makes a great Christmas present for your favourite collector. Ho Ho Ho.

One of the things I like about your crests (aside from looking great) is that they are definitely collector items. They're super-low run and NO ONE is going to go through the effort to make these ever again. Badges/crests also reflect the times that these pinball machines were released. I used to collect them as a kid I wandered through gun shows with my dad.

Just a thought going forward Bish, have you ever thought about taking the money up front and not committing to anything until everything is paid in full or at least 90% of the cost or something.
I mean I feel confident enough, especially now that you are 5 crests in, that once and idea comes out that paying up front wouldn't be an issue and then you wouldn't be left holding the bag.
This is a hobby not a business, please ask people to commit with money before you spend yours. You make serious and very nice job and you need serious buyers for this hobby to be fun.

I think you're right, as much as I hate to do that. I'd love to go on the premise that people will follow the threads, and be responsible for following through with their committments, but obviously it slips people's minds somewhere along the line.
I'm certainly not saying people have gone out of their way to screw me over, but it's just really frustrating to me...especially given some of the negative PM'd responses I've received so far this morning - it really doesn't make me feel like doing any more.

I'd love to know who is sending you negative PM's, that's BS
same here. they must have said yes before for you to pm them. so come on and keep your word people. if need be i can take more bk's. but i do have quite the collection now.
Now you know why I never had any CGCC t-shirts made up.. guaranteed I'd still have 90% of them left.
That being said, I meant to buy a couple of these crests off you at Starburst but totally forgot. Next time I have some Paypal funds I'll take a MAACA, CGCC and BK crest (if there are any left)
Those of you sending Bish negative comments.. you're an idiot.
I'd seriously say pre-orders are the way to go from now on, Bish.. no matter how long it takes to meet the minimum.
