Hi everyone

Im officially home and beginning the long journey back to a full recovery. What that means for many of you is that Im shipping today and playing catch up. Im gonna be a day or two behind til the end of the week until Im 100% caught up. We plan to ship close to 100 orders today if thats any indication of my desire to get things back to normal.

I am shipping on a first come basis as always. I dont play favorites.

I got a new batch of ArcadeSD's in from Clay and we have plenty to go around. Inventory should be strong til Xmas. Spoke with Clay and the first update is coming very soon and I can tell you what lies ahead is pretty awesome. I plan to have some supporting artwork by the end of the year as well.

After a 2 year absence Track and Field upright cpos are back. Adding to site tonight.

Ast Deluxe side art finishing tomorrow and will be ready for sale next week.

MsPac Galaga Pacman cocktail glasses still being printed. Laying one color down every other day. Estimated shipping date end of October.

Still waiting on the remainder of Quantum sides to complete all outstanding orders. I have shipped every piece I received. Just need the rest and that is my #1 PRIORITY before anything else and I sincerely apologize to all who feel left out in the dark.

Food Fight side art being worked on right now. Fronts are done. Future considerations for bezel and marquee.

Lunar Lander side art and marquees (!) should be done by Tgiving.

Tapper glass marquees still working on art file. Getting closer. Date tbd.

ICB bezels still working on art file. No progress to report. Date tbd.

Reprinting MsPac glass bezels end of year if not sooner. May reprint Galaga bezels too. First quarter of 2012.

Black Widow side art, cpos and marquees hoping (praying) to be done end of year. Waiting on films from Scott Evans. The king!

I have taken an interest into getting Atari cabaret side art done now. Need to talk with Scott about films.

My personal project Id like to get done for some die hard collectors is Gauntlet 1 side art. The tall one. Just need to find the elusive films. This has been at the top of my list for several years now. Also plan to run the cpo that needs to be done right.

Please support your fellow repro guys who screen print and continue to bring the highest quality products to market with a signifigant time and upfront cost from their pockets: Rich, Michael, Anthony, Bill, Troy. Hope I didnt forget anyone. Ill blame the meds if I did!

Thank you for your continued patience and the many well wishes from so many of you. I cant thank you enough for being more than a business relationship. It really does give me extra drive to do my very best at Phoenixarcade.com

God bless.

Wow, the x-rays show why you needed the metal. I only wish you the best in your recovery and hope for a trouble-free/pain-free post-op. I'm familiar with back pain. issues and do not envy you in the least. Speedy recovery.
 
Those are some clean incisions, well approximated and healing nicely. Speedy recovery and take it easy!
 
that is some surgery.. i just had knee surgry for a torn meniscus (if thats how you spell it) like 6 weeks ago, so i feel for ya...medical technology is incredible now a days...

heres to a speedy recovery!!!
 
We were on box #83 when suddenly UPS showed up with Quantum!

We dropped everything and Im relieved to say ALL Quantum orders have shipped. Thats a load off my shoulders.

Will make up lots of ground again tomorrow and if this pace keeps up by Wednesday afternoon everything will be current.
 
Holy Frankenstein-ish picture there. Good luck on your recovery and class act job updating everyone with all those staples still in!

And a public thank you for the little Lunar Lander piece you sent out at what must have been days before your surgery. It's absolutely PERFECT! :beerchug: Thank you.
 
Man Darin, that's some serious, "Hulk Hogan" Level back surgery there.

wow Darin, my wife has a herrington rod done about 20+ years ago. I thought they stopped doing that.
