Quoted from Cheeks:Couldn't agree more. I have several PinStadiums, with plans to get more. I may even like whatever this belt thing turns out to be, but there is seriously NO CHANCE it could live up to the hype. The slowly opening door and a daily screenshot of the countdown clock? Seriously? There's building hype, and then there's beating it to death. I'm not trying to be a dick, and I don't mean any offense to Scott (who has proven he's a good and helpful guy), but I've seriously considered draining this entire thread because I can't take another announcement about the announcement.
Just a suggestion, if you're that sure these are going to sell out almost immediately, there's no need to beat us all over the head with the hype leading up to the release.
I do appreciate your feedback as always and yes I am just having fun with it and by no means have any intentions other than that. The fancy ads and videos are me just doing what I can in Photoshop and video editors (but now I use an great product called Affinity). Been trying to hone my skills in that arena because I enjoy it, but have no career in it by any means.
I do mention that things may sell rather quickly for the fact that there are a lot of kits and customers out there that I feel will really love this complimentary product for them. Many may not know the numbers and how busy it has been (doing 12-15 hour days), so just a small percentage of those ordering will make things go pretty rapidly.
It is a little intimidating, but I am prepared and have learned a lot with production and quality control.
Last year that Pin Stadium pre-order was interesting as there were like 100 of them that sold out in a few short weeks with 0 customers prior and just wishful supporters which was awesome and now we are into the thousands which I never thought would ever have happened. Especially considering the fact that when I made the Pin Stadiums, they had no name and I never had any intention of selling them. It was just a solution I felt I needed for my collection.
It was an unknown product even at it's initial launch and purely based upon trust which everything is in my opinion and it is still that way always. The good news is that I have had customers come over to see Orion's Belt working and in action to see it and they really enjoyed what has been created. Asking when they can get it and asking to get on the list etc. That is always a good feeling.
The Pin Stadium products are developed by the community with their feedback/ideas. Behind the scenes I have been compiling hundreds of requests and comments and discussed this with many about what their vision of the next line of products should be. The way I look at it is I am just putting it all together in a nice package for you all to enjoy. I want to make you all happy. It is still just Scott at Pin Stadium doing his thing (building each one and designing etc) and I hope this explains things better from this end. It's all good and thank you everyone for what you have done.
It has been a ton of work and I am looking forward to hearing what you think when this launches. Nothing has changed other than just getting excited for the new release that has taken all year (and then some) to put together.
