And what do we say, now that we have our shiny new precious?

Is it worth the wait? If so, perhaps it would be a good idea to revisit threads elsewhere demanding the blood of the maker. If not, how do you suppose showing off such an awesome piece of kit might impact someone else on the fence about ordering the same thing?

Not trying to be a dick, but every time AMM's phone number changes or he stops responding to PM/email, I start getting PM/email because I know him, personally, and know where he lives and builds these things.

If the product is not worth the agonizing wait and lack of communication, then it doesn't make sense to show it off when it finally arrives, as if shiny tig puddles make everything all better.

If the product IS worth the wait and stressful lack of communication, then it doesn't make sense to trip motherfucking balls all over the internet about it, riding high on the Wambulance, and trying to find any possible way to make sure AMM knows just how pissed you are about thing, if you're then going to hoist the product on high like some kind of dysfunctional trophy.

FoTown - this is not directed at you. This is meant for everyone, because there are always at least a dozen guys out there losing their shit over AMM's communication and logistics. The simple fact of the matter is this: By now, everyone should know AMM delivers - when he finally does deliver - exceptional, consistent quality pieces, but you're gonna have to wait it out... maybe much, much longer than you expected.

I'm not standing up for the way Mike runs his side hustle, because I know the biggest thing holding him back from making a killing at this full time is his own lack of financial planning. I'm just saying, AMM delays and lack of communication is nothing new. We've been dealing with this shit for years, now. If you are STILL sending him payment in advance for this stuff, then you're pretty much saying you're cool with being dicked around for a while.

Fool me once, shame on thee, but fool me again...
