This project will happen even if a single preorder doesn't come in. However I don't have a good feel on qty so I'm doing the preorder discount.

Both sides and front screen printed from Scott Evans Atari films for $230 shipped in the 48 states. All other areas by quote. Full prepayment is required for the discount. You may paypal me directly [email protected]

Target ship date is April 1st or sooner. I have a solid track record of following through on projects dating back to 2001.

Preorder discount period ends on Feb 5th. After that the price will go up.

Thanks,
Darin
 
Pre-order payment sent. My reproduction Quantum is becoming a reality....


Best,

Bill
 
Nice to see some more repro art for the Vectors being done. :D

and dont try to order a set from me, you're banned for backing ram-controls lying and theivery.

and for talking smack about scott evans who makes this possible to do the vector art.

Ive got plenty more vector art to make too.

Not going to try and order from you as previously stated, so no need to flatter yourself. I make a nice comment to support your effort and you respond with this?

I never supported Ram-Controls, so please stop spreading that lie. All you were doing was bashing him and that wasn't helping anything. We needed him to get online and address the issues and not stay away because of a virtual lynch mob had formed. Sorry you cannot see the difference. I wanted Dave to make things right, and that is very different than supporting the lies and broken promises.

Feel free to quote the post that I was "talking smack about scott evans" in and we can discuss it. I fear the sarcasm may have been lost on you.

Of course, here I am writing this crap in your pre-order thread. Seriously man, lighten up a little bit and you might enjoy life a little more. It seems you hate me because I call you out for being negative. Looks like that trend will continue based on this incident. I'm still glad that the art is getting done. Also, glad to hear that more vector art is in the works.

Good luck with the pre-order... And don't worry, not trying to make nice so I can order stuff...

I am sure that Darin is not the only one that wants nothing to do with you after you telling Scott to "go fawn over your Atari crap".

Saying that to someone that has made numerous trips to where the Atari films are kept (a good 7 hour drive round-trip for him) and has spent countless hours searching for films he's been asked to find is like slapping him in the face.

And trust me, finding anything in particular in there is like finding a needle in a haystack, but much more of a pain because heavy pallets need to be cleared and moved just to get to the next one (oh and don't bother showing up without a pallet jack, which will need to be lifted over other pallets to get to other ones). I think it's safe to say that going there to look for films is not something that he ever looks forward to doing.

But he does it. Why? To help fellow collectors, collectors who care enough about their games to want accurate silksceened reproductions, restore their games.

And this is the thanks he gets? By telling him to go fawn over his Atari crap?

Thanks for pointing out the post and explaining why there was an elevated offense taken to what was just some normal KLOV banter to me. I don't think it was unreasonable to say he was thread crapping. I understand he was a little closer to the issue than all the rest of us, but Stuffmonger was stoked about the artwork and AtariScott just started bashing it. I agree with him that the content of the images was suspect, but as a kid that grew up with a 2600, that artwork is was part of that nostalgia no matter if it makes sense or not.

Didn't see the point of bringing someone down that was stoked about his purchase. The fawning comment was meant to be funny and even Scott seemed to volley right back and even played along with the comment. Well, at least I know one of the reasons Darin hates me. At least you can probably see a pattern emerging that I have been getting on Darin for being negative and it was the same thing that happened with Scott. At least I am consistent.

Also, I really do appreciate Scott's efforts saving the Atari legacy. Atari is by far my favorite manufacturer. It is cool that this artwork is being produced along with the slew of other Quantum items being done. Good luck on the projects! I will try and keep my comments more respectful such as the one I first posted in this thread. The less thread crapping the better...

well if you're not happy with the way I'm defending others from getting SCREWED by ram-controls then bugger off. perhaps you missed the 21+ page thread about him.

did you want me to be one of the clueless people saying, well he will come through. he makes the best products. probably just overwhelmed. blah blah blah. spare me. we all know damn well there's problems and playing softball with this guy wont do anything.

Why would we need more people saying don't worry Ram-Controls will come through? Honestly we needed more action from Dave and less talking from everyone else.

The sticky thread that the moderators created was a step in the right direction. People need their product, others needed to be warned. People posting how long they have been waiting and that they have received little or no communication, fake tracking numbers, all speak for themselves. It is sad that we need a moderated thread on this forum so Dave can keep track of his business.

I obviously don't know the history between you and Dave, but did notice that you even have a dig against him in your signature. Certainly your right to do so. It comes across more like you are kicking a man while he is down than warning innocent buyers. Especially since your signature is more of an inside joke than a public service announcement.
 
Not sure which is worse.
ArcRivial not selling to others because they "part out" or buy parts from "part-outs"
or others who dont want to buy from other Repro Heros because they took a stand and voiced an opinion on what was happening with RamControls. myself included.
Not singling anyone collector out but I have had the same response.

What happened and continues to happen with Dave effects all us
whether anyone wants to admit that or not.
IT DOES.

This hobby isnt big enough to choose sides
and the loyal following he once had seems to be shrinking as of late.
as the "Ram Effect" continues...

So how about that Quantum Side Art? :D

You just dont get it! This has been going on for 4+ years dude. He hasnt fallen down just once recently. There is a history there. My beef with you was when this started getting out of hand and you came right at me for going right at him. Get it? You defend a guy like this and I have a right to say screw you. You should apologize to all the people who got screwed by him for backing him up.

My sig is meant as humor and I have gotten many positive comments on it. Eventually I'll think of something else and replace it.

Can you please just not say anything in threads I start?

I didn't defend Dave, damn sure didn't back him up. Don't interpret my dislike for your behavior to mean I was supporting Dave. The two are not related at all. I "came right at you" as you put it because of you and your behavior and that is all. Please stop trying to propagate the lie that I was backing him up. As I even posted in one of the threads, Dave did not even make something right on a deal I had with him. I will not order from him again. No problem with a message being out there that people shouldn't order from Dave. How the message is delivered makes a big difference. The problem needs to be fixed once and for all. Hopefully Dave will finally agree to sale though someone reliable. People still ordering from him are just enabling him to continue as is.

Yes, your signature is funny. It is also not a surprise that Dave is the but of your joke.
