Have you checked your junk/spam email?

Brian is very busy, but also very reliable. He recently posted on Denial that he is currently working on orders from May 2011. I ordered mine in April 2011, and got it last month. I'm amazed he gets through them as quickly as that given that it's a one man operation.

I wouldn't be worried by no confirmation email just yet, I seem to recall it took a while before I got mine. When you get the MC though, I am sure you will love it.

I saw one of these cartridges at World of Commodore in Toronto last Saturday. That's when I knew I had to have one.

What a terrific product - the cartridge looks like period cartridges and it even comes with a fantastic plastic case like stuff would come in the day. How can I not buy one?

Anyone who puts that kind of attention to detail deserves my hundred bucks. Hence, my spot in the queue.

Well the case is a little different from what a real VIC 20 cartridge would have come in, as in fact it comes in a VHS case. Real VIC 20 Cartridges came in rather unpractical cardboard boxes, which always got squashed in a big box of tapes, and then thrown away. As they were so impractical, and expensive to make, they went with the VHS case option. I think it's brilliant, they made the cover look spot on.

The case for the actual cartridge is a real VIC 20 cartridge that has been cleaned up, stripped down, had new innards put in, a reset button fitted, and a new sticker applied.

Like you say, terrific job, I am very pleased with mine. Some of the games I never would have imagined possible on the VIC 20.

I cannot wait to get mine either. It took Brian a while to email me as well but from what I have seen and heard it is well worth the wait and def. worth my $100.

I ordered one also to go along with my FE3 cart.
It took him a couple of weeks to reply.
Later,

"I have been extremely busy with day job over the past year and have had little spare time for hobbies.

I am currently working on orders placed in Dec 2011"
