arrrggghhh! no hold-ups please !

First of all, i cannot understand why its so difficult to get '1136' T-Shirts out.
My copyshop could do that within hours and the logo is already there for a
while now.
But ok, there seem to be "several reasons", which is a fine excuse :-P

On the other hand i think, it's more important to announce, how to handle
those 50$-Club (as well as 100$-PartyPack) Coupons .
I think this is far more important for those ppl then to be sure they'll get their
promised T-Shirts the "next few weeks".

Just my personal opinion.

@logain

Wasn`t there some f&&k-up with the first logo? IIRC I think Team Amiga protested.
Did they ever pick another one?

Yes, the $50 & $100 partypack coupons are more important than a T-shirt but it is a part of the deal and hopefully this will be adressed also.

"Wasn`t there some f&&k-up with the first logo? IIRC I think Team Amiga protested. Did they ever pick another one?"

It wasn't the logo design, it was the name 'Team Amiga' that was the issue. When we submitted the name and design (the avatar is taken from this) we also created a 'Club Amiga' version so this was not the holdup.

There has since been some discussion with Amiga about creating a design that was more 'Club Med' inspired but it hasn't been formalized.

Our own thinking is that the Amiga platform is already a confusing oddity to most people, so tropical resorts are not the first thing we want to be associated with. The t-shirts are obviously a form of advertising and one that people should be able to readily identify with. However, if you think more of a beach theme is appropriate let us know. ;-)

@ne_one

So the new name is "Club Amiga"?

Mmm, nope I prefer the more easily associated with amiga form, erm I don`t qualify for club 18-30 anymore! ;-)

[Paul_Gadd]

I think they have done a wonderfull job knitting all those T-shirts by hand, that is the reason for the massive delay  :-D

@ne_one:

A beach theme??? Puh-lease, wtf does that have to do with Amiga? Do we get a free holiday to Mururoa with each A1? ;-)

[newbee]

Hmm

I wonder what they are doing to verify peoples details.

The coupon was some time ago and some peoples details would be different from their original ordering details...

I for one have "moved house" and would be ####ty if the x-girlfriend's new boyfriend scores a new "amiga  t-shirt".

Have you tried to contact Amiga Inc? Gives you a good excuse to test the phonelines :-D.

[MarkTime]

I agree.

I am always amazed how the answer to a broken promise around here is another promise.  Not t-shirts in the mail, just a promise to do what they already promised to do.

This is quite amazing...the first promise was enough of a promise, now they need to just do it..

[Kaminari]

I just can't believe we're congratulating Amiga Inc for *finally* *releasing* *something* :oops: Yoohoo, we've waited ten years for a T-shirt! :angry:

[Marky_D_Sahd]

Sorted out in a few weeks??  Here, give me the money, I'll take it down to T-Shirts Plus and they can knock 'em all out by tomorrow.  Give me the data base and I'll ship 'em out, too.  (hmm. To whom could I sell the Amiga.com database for a few extra??  Honey, we'll be getting that new car after all!)

[System]

Heeee I can't believe the latest Vapour Ware from Amiga is a T-Shirt, geez if they can't release a simple piece of clothing what hope do they have of anything else.
