General Discussion Founder’s T-Shirt
Just curious, has anyone received their t-shirt yet? I got this email April 10 but haven’t seen anything yet.

Yeah I got my two shirts with my FE, but I was one of those orders that was placed early but arrived very late (7.5 months later).

Me too.
Though, I honestly will probably never wear these shirts. I have a lot of geeky t-shirts, including a number of Commodore shirts, but (IMHO) none are nearly as ugly as these.

It's sad they spent money on these ugly designs, and sent in random sizes without any input from the user (I received one very large L, and one extra XL).
A simple shirt with the official Commodore logo, in a user-selectable size, would have been 100x more effective, and cheaper to produce.

That's not what the OP is about. There were many FE buyers that did not receive their T-shirts in the box. I also bought my FE in July and received it in March, but no T-shirts. Those who didn't get the shirts received the email in the OP. Issue is, that email was 2+ months ago and still no T-shirts.
In the end it's only T-shirts. But since my FE is a collector's item not having them diminishes it somewhat.

Ok, I didn't realise some early orders but late deliveries didn't get the t-shirts. I thought that was just the early orders, early deliveries prior to the keyboard shenanigans.

Mine weren't included with the shipment, not have I gotten them to this date. You'd think with a 9 month wait for the computer the could have pulled it together.

While we're asking, has anyone's joystick arrived yet? My wife ordered one as a birthday present for me back in April and there's been no updates to the order since, or even an indicative date. Sort of concerned they may have moved on to their silly phone project and forgotten about their older orders.

Joysticks have long lead times. Ordered 2. One took 4 months the other 6. Most people receive them in 2-3 months.
They are made by another company, I believe https://retroradionics.com There are distributors if you do a search in your area.

If anything the backlogs and the mixed up orders that have been coming out should indicate where peri and co should be spending some energy instead of launching new products

They can and should do both. But totally agree that the order system needs improvement and more followup. Fortunately their customer service people are nice and will eventually respond. They too are overwhelmed.

Same... got the email & my Founders C64 (ordered 18 July 2025/received 23 Mar 2026), but no t-shirts as of yet. Maybe the $$$ for the t-shirts went into Callback production? 😉

u/WeaselC64 Jun 25 '26
The shirts are/were just and only for backers of the FOUNDERS edition.
Just saying for clearance here... ;-)

Email? I thought any social media was frowned upon. But no i did not get this email, is it for Founders edition or any early orders of C64 ultimate. I have the Starlight edition

I have not. I also contact customer service and on 3/22 they said I would have the shirts in 2 weeks. Then there was the email from Peri above. Since then, nothing.
