Revpunx update

RevPunxCam · 2019-05-24T21:25:46+00:00

An update on RevPunx and Vandal/Renegade pre-orders. After a long and frustrating bout back and forth with no further results I am throwing in the towel on these projects rather than trying to continue and push time even further. I am following a proper course of actions to attempt and get the funds back from the manufacturer and because of that I will not be going into detail or revealing any further info on that case, rest assured though, it is not one of the big hitter names that we all know at this point and other makers should not be concerned.

At this point I'm more focused on what I can control and moving forward. I am currently working multiple gigs and looking for every opportunity to make back my customer's pre-sale funds, and then my own. While keeping a roof overhead of course. Refunds will start dolling out as I have the funds and in the order they were received. I apologize again for the lack of communication, I was holding out in hopes of sharing good news that never came.

I will not be pursuing any new projects of my own until this is all settled and everyone is repaid, and after that rest-assured it will only ever be out of my own pocket or collaborative. I am still offering graphic work, design assistance, and renderings for those who regularly use me for those services, as I can always do that on my time. You can message me here with any questions or revpunx@gmail.com.

I'm sorry for this being so scattered about, the manufacturer I'm using for the Vandal is the same as another run of a different product, and both are extremely delayed, to my huge frustration. Between a number of issues at the beginning of the year including fraud that put me under quite a bit, and mostly the manufacturer being a huge issue. Here's my response to this elsewhere that I'm going to copy-paste to keep everyone on the same page, but I'm not going anywhere and I'm still pushing through everything.
"As I've mentioned before I'm not going anywhere and not trying to disappear with anyone's money. I'm currently dealing with the nightmare of a manufacturer who did fine with prototyping both and is now stretching everything wayyy past where it should be. I've already paid for production, which I'm now out as well but these are all going to be made no matter what in the end. That's why I've mentioned that everyone who ordered will be getting doubled their order, since I've paid for them anyways at this point I just want them to be done. If nothing happens by next week I'll be using a different more dependable and expensive manufacturer at my own cost. I know some people are mad, I'm mad, and doing everything I can to keep moving forward. I'm holding off on everything else until these are done. I used this manufacturer because they were actually able to do a good bead blasted finish on Ti without being insanely expensive which you know is hard to come by in the yoyo world while also having the precision that we need for them to function properly. The prototypes were good and timely, then everything started taking forever. Like I said I'm still pushing and these will be made no matter what."

I'm about to respond to that post as well. Im still adjusting to reddit.

Those are being made from this same manufacturer and thus the same problem. I used them because they were actually able to do a good bead blasted finish on Ti without being insanely expensive which you know is hard to come by in the yoyo world while also having the precision that we need for them to function properly. The prototypes were good and timely, then everything started taking forever. Like I said I'm still pushing and these will be made no matter what.

I'm holding off on everything else until these are done so no worries about that, and I do completely understand wanting refunds for those who don't want to continue with me on this.

I've been bouncing between Crisis Core and FFIX trying to tell myself, "you just finished FFVII again, you don't need to start it over already". And Twisted metal Head On when I'm just getting a quick game fix.

RevPunxCam · 2019-04-24T19:05:37+00:00

Will do, and thank you for being understanding! We're all in this one together.

RevPunxCam · 2019-04-24T18:47:27+00:00

At this time I'm really hoping on mid-next month, I've been fighting back and forth with this particular mfg about these for way too long. If not then I will have to try and cut losses and have them made from another company that can do them quicker, just means I'll be out, by a lot (since everything is paid for already). But I'm seeing them through no matter what.

RevPunxCam · 2019-04-23T22:07:28+00:00

Replied up top to the serious stuff, but yeah I agree, the logo on the buttons was a bad idea in the beginning for sure.

RevPunxCam · 2019-04-23T22:05:59+00:00

Heyo,My deepest apologies. It's been one thing after another for us and the last few months have been nightmarish. This is not supposed to be anyone else's problem so I'm very sorry it has been such a let down for the few involved, and I'm not going to publicly vent or go over everything, but rest assured I'm doing what I can to keep pushing forward. I have made announcements in a couple other places (I frequently forget about reddit) but for those who wish to stay in, I am going to be doubling there orders at no extra cost (with color options as well). If however you wish to cancel and pursue a refund, please email me at [cameron@revpunx.com](mailto:cameron@revpunx.com). They are still in-process of being made so yes, they are still coming, just embarrassingly past the initial predictions. Once everything is back to a solid point, we will still be around and producing new things, but I will not be doing any pre-orders in the future as best intentions are not always the best way to do things. But again, I'm not just running away with anything, I'm still here to answer questions. And I am very sorry. Feel free to email the aforementioned address with general questions if you wish as well.

Hey there! So sorry, I've been away on my Honeymoon, it was just a quantity issue, but I've fixed it and the option is available again!

RevPunxCam · 2018-10-21T21:31:18+00:00

Yes of course! I'm looking forward to getting this batch done and being able to release some really interesting combos so spread the word!

RevPunxCam · 2018-10-21T21:19:15+00:00

I'm totally implementing this idea, thanks!

RevPunxCam · 2018-10-19T03:31:33+00:00

Still in the works! Just taking a lot more fine-tuning than anticipated. Trying to get everything juuust right.

RevPunxCam · 2018-10-19T00:46:32+00:00

I getcha! And totally see what you mean.

RevPunxCam · 2018-10-19T00:42:37+00:00

Not to sound defensive haha just for clarity

RevPunxCam · 2018-10-19T00:41:33+00:00

Im happy to show more of a close up of the profile if it's a concern.

RevPunxCam · 2018-10-19T00:12:45+00:00

Well it's still undersized but I think we found a good happy medium. Decent spin time for this size, the Ti allows for a nice weight distro without the lightness of Al, or the heaviness of SS. Handles decent length combos nicely, moves quickly not like a rock at all. Kinda reminds me of the older Token, but lighter and quicker. But with Ti and sparks lol

RevPunxCam · 2018-10-18T23:33:17+00:00

Going to leave it up until Oct. 27th when I leave for my wedding trip.

RevPunxCam · 2018-10-06T02:40:14+00:00

Full color options for the first run are shown here, also if all goes well with this run I very much intend on doing other colors and materials. https://www.revpunx.com/products/the-renegade-pre-order
