No such luck. The staff there didn't really know what I was talking about at first, and then they couldn't remember if they had them or not. Then, one of the clerks thought that they might have them, but didn't really know where they are or what happened to them. Talk about organization. Overall they were more interested in playing on their computers then actually trying to help. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up trying to sell them online. This store has quite a "business" for selling things on eBay as well. For those in the Atlanta/Decatur area:

Peter, Universal is great. Most people get in through interning, I got in through years of blood, sweat and tears in record retail. Working with bands like U2 and their fans is amazing and I am thankful for this job every day!!!

I had purchased the remastered sets last week...before the buttons were even announced. I went back to the store, showed my sales receipt and received my button set.... Should work for all those who bought last week. Now if it was that easy getting tickets in 2009... Hello All in metro Boston,

I picked up my button set at Newbury Comics in Avon today. I had purchased the remastered sets last week…before the buttons were even announced. I went back to the store, showed my sales receipt and received my button set….

Should work for all those who bought last week.

Now if it was that easy getting tickets in 2009…

There is a European set and and a US set. For those who've bought their remastered stuff already, try calling the store back and see if they will give you the buttons. That's what I did here and they had not problem giving me the buttons even though I bought the remastered stuff days before. Sean, these are US promo buttons only.

Hey, I'm broke like no one's business! BUT! They are a great store (I've been shopping with them since they were on University Ave in Berkeley) and they DO have the buttons ... I know they do mail order, but I don't know if THIS applies. Just trying to give hope to someone if they want to TRY! modlang.com, but I'd call if I were you: (510) 486-1880. Good luck!!

I only shop indie, I never illegal download and if you were local you'd know why I will not shop at Rasputin and can't get to El Cerrito. Dang! I am so crazy about buttons (Ironically, I even buy custom buttons from a guy PotatoPotato that works at the Amoeba in SF, he is so cool) and I am heartbroken. I feel so bad for so many fans in this thread! Ah, but you know: it's a big planet and you can't blame the fellas or the people who work so hard for them. BTW, when I am on the East Coast, I love Newbury Comics and TONS of love for Music Millenium in the great NW! Okay, back to crying now... Oh man I can’t believe Amoeba in California got dissed!
