      Finally got my pins as well. Card got a bit mangled, due to pin side of buttons facing it. Ah well, buttons were the main thing for me anyway. Thanks for the follow-through.

      Received mine in the mail today. I had totally forgotten and wasn't expecting anything to come of it.
      Admiration for following through.

      Creator Pyro_k on April 25

      I got my pins today! They're real nice. The card has a few slight indents from where the pins were pressing against it, but you can hardly tell from the front. Didn't mind the wait either, since I wasn't exactly in a huge rush to get these, so it was a pleasant surprise when they finally arrived.

      Creator Darwen on April 25

      I got my pins. I can't believe I actually got my pins.

      I apologize for still being a debbie downer, but the card print is a bit beat up due kinda crappy packing. Other than that, no real complaints other than the delay.

    11. Missing_small

      Creator Cielle on April 25

      Got a response from VCR -

      "Everything has finally been sent, I apologize for the disgustingly long delay"

      And the updates have their first comment affirming that someone new has received their pins. :)

    12. Missing_small

      Creator Cielle on April 21

      Sent messages to raemz and VCR today. I'll let you guys know if I hear anything back.

      Late April almost into May. Still nothing.

      Creator Tharnis on March 21

      @Funky I still haven't seen anything, unfortunately. I'm glad for those who did receive them, personally I'm going to try and forget about all this. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised if they actually get here!

      And I completely agree with what @Darwen said.

    15. Drago.small

      Creator FunkyLoiso on March 7

      I'm surprised at how non-offending the comments here are :> That's nice, and @Darwen I totally support your post.
      It's interesting how may people are still waiting for their packages. And are the packages still coming? If someone has recently received their artbook, please, post here!

      March. Nothing over here.

      You're killing us, raemz. There's no way the post office messed up this many orders.

      I hear ya Darwen, I've given up on ever seeing anything.

      Creator Kohkie Tamano on January 27

      Never got my buttons. Really wanted the art book, but settled for the buttons, but I'm really disappointed that I still haven't gotten mine.

    21. Drewnukem.small

      Creator Darwen on January 14

      Well it's blatantly obvious those of us still waiting, at least in the continental US, aren't getting jack anytime in the forseeable future. I was upset over the fact that the $20 pledge was closed without any warning before I could pledge, but I understood and accepted it, just pledging $10. I was upset over the fact that this was continually delayed without any word, and I even accepted that. But for a bunch of us to still not have anything, then attempt to contact raemz directly, and still not hear anything back. It's not upsetting anymore, it's just sad. I'm all for pledging money towards a respectable project, especially one for such a great visual novel and its developers; hell, $10 is the least I can do in tribute for the experience of Katawa Shoujo. But for me to give something towards this, having set goals and milestones, and for so many of them to be passed and ignored without a single word, and then to say that the project has been successfully completed with so many of us missing out a MONTH later, with STILL no word, is unacceptable. The postal service is nowhere near that slow, and this is obviously not an isolated incident. It isn't even about the money. It's about the ideal, about quid-pro-quo. After giving something, we receive nothing except having that which so many of us looked forward to being continually beaten like a red-headed stepchild.

      Please feel free to attack me for my comment not being "respectful and considerate." I don't care anymore.

      Still waiting for my buttons too..

      Creator Tharnis on January 3

      Still waiting too, but I'm in the EU so it might have had something to do with that + holidays.
      I just hope they make it before my birthday :P

    24. Missing_small

      Creator Cielle on January 2

      Yep - I too remain buttonless at the moment.

      Creator NoMoreVillains on January 2

      Anybody else still have yet to get their buttons? Not really complaining, just waiting. Of course, it would be pretty cool to get them right on anniversary of KS's release.

      Nothing in Redmond, WA yet.

    27. Drewnukem.small

      Creator Darwen on December 22

      Is there any way to track the shipments, or determine when they've been shipped? The wait is killing me and I just want to know when to start worrying, since it's been over a week since the 13th and I live in the continental US.

      @guillem If I've got you right, and you're talking about a digital version of the Tomorrow/Today artbook, it was said on the twitter that they will release it after the Winter Comic Market :P

      Well, this leaves me with a unique problem: I sort of moved to Japan for a year. Might be kind of hard to get my delayed buttons...

      Ok guys, I've got a response from VCR, here is what he wrote:
      "I'm so sorry OTL. There's been a lot of issues and I am still trying hard to finish them. I can't give a date because of it. I haven't updated the Kickstarter yet because I'm still trying to work at it, but here's the problem: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15357325/IMG_20121002_133927.jpg. Basically there's been an issue with the button machine Ive been using and it hasn't been pressing right, resulting in that, and this is currently how many errors I've had so far: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15357325/IMG_20121002_133055.jpg.";

      So yeah, I think we still have to wait :|

      Creator Cielle on October 11, 2012

      ...and right after that I noted David's post under the latest update. Good call, man.

      Creator Cielle on October 11, 2012

      - I've sent a message to weee on here about a day ago. I have not yet received a response.
      - A cursory browsing of the KS forums didn't turn up anything about Kickstarter. I may not have been looking deep enough.
      - Can't comment on IRC.
      - Reddit has a KS subsection in which a couple 4LS members have posted, though weee is not among them that I know of.

      Those are the ideas I have, anyway. Though I have no idea which other members of 4LS were involved with this or maintain contact with weee.

      Creator bjm on October 7, 2012

      Has anyone tried contacting weee directly recently? Could be that just slipped her or vcr's or whoever's mind and they don't receive any notifications from the kickstarter comments.
