edit: 3rd time to 500 posts :D
-
WTF? Rollback KILLED this thread! :-/
Did you save all the PM'ed updates and stuff?
-
I was up to date on all PM requests so nothing lost there.
-
I remember the OP promising me a free Pi key for coming up with the ****ing idea and even the font.
And I get a free Hammer & Sickle key for buying 100 of them. Yay!
-
quiet you
-
Ripster, I'll ship you a little something when I get my keys. Send me your info in a pm.
-
Thanks! All ordered.
-
Done!
Got it.
I might want to up my order on the Pi keys. Hmm... I'll have to think about it for a day or two.
-
OP Now fully restored from rollback and up to date.
Price Drop on Pi!!!
-
yayayayayay pi key price break
-
ordered 3x each :)
-
Hope pi keys can reach 500 each :party:
-
well, what are you waiting for to make a bigger order ? PM i3oilermaker the changes !
Also, welcome :D.
-
price breaks! very nice. Lets hit that 1,000 :rofl:
-
Well well well. Upped my order a little ;).
-
The 1k could be doable :D.
-
Wow, I haven't been here that long but this is definitely the greatest number of orders I've ever seen in a group buy. Anyone know if the current 877 hammer and sickle keys is a record.
-
I think the awesomeface went pretty high too, but am too lazy to check out the number xD.

red on white GH keycap went to 1300 iirc
-
red on white GH keycap went to 1300 iirc
So that's why they are used as freebies by everybody !
-
are these being shipped with the pool keys? would help keep postal costs down.
-
you can ask for them to be. But you'll have to wait then :P.
-
Next price breaks :
2000 - 0.40
5000 - 0.30
10000 - 0.15
50000 - 0.05
100000 - SP gives us money
We should aim for 100000 !
-

Not unless requested...the ship date could be several weeks apart.

49 keys till 1K break HAHA.
Why isn't pi more loved ? :(

You like Apple pi better than Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/)???

[ATTACH=CONFIG]50381[/ATTACH]
Apple pie is good
-
So close to 1000.

Surprised jdcarpe hasn't jumped on them :)

My wallet hates you enough, already. :)
I already have 100, what am I going to do with another 48???
-
LOL that is a good question
-

Divide 148 by Pi and it's 48 with heavy rounding. I think that's a sign man.

Did you get your Pi yet? Still waiting for mine.
-
Did you get your Pi yet? Still waiting for mine.
No, still waiting. At this point, I wouldn't even call it waiting. I'll just be pleasantly surprised one day when it shows up. :) I got bored trying to get a straight answer from Newark about my order. Maybe RS will let me order one from them.
-
i3, these WILL hit 1000. If half the people who ordered them would add ONE more key, we are there. I know it's only 9 cents difference, but that's 9 dollars to me!
-
Order sent for 2 of each.
-
I wonder what I am going to do with 50 hammer & sickle keys xD.

Share 4 friends or donate 2 geekhack :yo:
-
Need 45 hammers more 4 price drop, pls ! :attention:
-
They will most definitely be gifts in trades and sales. Sending some keys randomly might be a good idea. *considering*
-
Meh, I don't have that much keys. But I def do have some.
GAIZ, ORDER MORE AWESOME PI KEYS PLZZZZ.
-
c'mon guys, only 45 hammers more :doh:
-
38 hammers to gooooo!!!!
-
The savings is 9 cents per key.
For every six you're buying now at 60 cents, you'll be able to get seven for the same, or less money.
If everyone ordering six or more bumps their orders accordingly; I'd be unsurprised if that pushes it over.
-
Any chance Pi keys will reach the 500 tier?:confused:
-
If some people order more yes. if not no.
-
[ATTACH=CONFIG]50596[/ATTACH]
-
Well, people just expect price drops to happen out of nowhere.
If you want to get better prices, order more. Don't rely on others to get your 2 keycap price down.
I know it's obvious, but heh.
-
please push my White on Black Pi order to 5
-
please push my White on Black Pi order to 5
Done - Please PM in the future in case I miss a post.

Form filled for 2 of each!
-
Crazy close to 1000 now - and starting to get in striking distance of 500 for Pi
-
Jdcarpe should be happy now :D.
-
Ordered 2 of each pi key.
-
When this GB ends ?
-
When we hit the 500 pi keys price break. So order more !
-
Price break on hammer and sickles...just pmed to bump my hammrr order by 4 keys which should put us at 1000!
-
Wow - nice job guys!
Will probably close this mid next week so lets get Pi numbers up to 500!
-
When we hit the 500 pi keys price break. So order more !
I've ordered 8 of each pi :)

Can you double my order? (don't know if I need to PM)

Can you double my order? (don't know if I need to PM)
Normally I would like one so I don't miss it, but I got it this time :)
-
When we hit the 500 pi keys price break. So order more !
Oh, we'll hit 500. I still haven't put my order in yet.
Actually, if the order pace continues like this, we may well reach 1000: Record levels!
-
Putting a closing date on this because orders have screeched to a halt.
Orders will officially close on 5/24 at 12:00 PM (Noon) CST
-
order placed for pi!
-
Ordered some hammer and sickles!
-
Here is what I'm thinking for colors:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]51000[/ATTACH]
Gotta go NN for Pi Black...but open to suggestions on White.
-
Seems good !
And about white: Either take the full on flashy white to really make the key visible or the white that you decided to use for billiard set.
-
I do like the White from the billiard set, it is a creamier off white. I'm not a big fan of the super bright white.
Any other opinions?
-
Here is what I'm thinking for colors:
Gotta go NN for Pi Black...but open to suggestions on White.
Is that the same red from the LoD and Awesome Face keys? I think we should go with that red to match.
-
Forgot that we already decided on WFK for the Pi White. It is the GH standard white.
-
Is that the same red from the LoD and Awesome Face keys? I think we should go with that red to match.
Good question...does anyone know what red those are?
-
The red and yellow from the awesome faces look nice. Not sure what colour codes they were though.
-
I think YY on RA looks quite good...
[ATTACH=CONFIG]51049[/ATTACH]
-
YY is definitely the brightest yellow
-
Yeah, I'd be worried that with the graphic YY might be a bit too yellow. YCB wuold probably look a bit better IMO, but either works fine.
-
I don't think we should go with the brightest yellow. I like the one i3oilermaker posted more.
-
Here is the comparison
[ATTACH=CONFIG]51055[/ATTACH]
-
I prefer RCQ for the red (which was used for the red legends on poker suit r2), but RA is ok also. YCH looks better to me for the yellow. Good to see there is an end, that makes me happy knowing we are closer to getting them now.
-
gogo ych !
-
I think lysol is right...the more I look at pictures and compare to the colors I think we need a lighter red than RA and a little more pop on the yellow than YCB. YCB looks almost a little mustard like yellow next to the YY and YCH
[ATTACH=CONFIG]51058[/ATTACH]
-
those look crisp right there :)
Yellow is bright, but not too bright.
-
Yeah, I think that color combo is as close as possible to get to official with sp stock colors. Looks great.
-
I agreed to up my order if it would make a price break. I'm wondering if I have new quantities in my basket now...?
-
Captain you are at 18 hammer and 12 of each pi. Would you like to make any changes?
-
What happened to the 500 price tier? Went from $0.60 to $0.74. Inflation? Higher gas prices?
-

I got an updated price list from Melissa that had a price hike. I questioned it and she said it was a mistake. I will set it back.
-
Just put in my order.
I'm considering increasing it, to get to price tier 500
-
This is closing tomorrow! Who is going to step up and make these Pi keys cheap? :tea:
-
Up to 8 of each pi for me, please!
-
So I fill out the form and then you send me a paypal invoice? I would be in for 5 of each key :D
-

That is right. Don't expect an invoice right away, it will come in a couple of days after the buy closes.
-

Done! Getting close to the 500 mark - every little bit helps!

Nice. 26 more B on W

Invoices are just starting to go out. Sorry for the delay. I plan to send about half today and the other half either tomorrow or Thursday.
I'm not sure I did get your PM - Can you please resend?
-
Ok.
No need to resend, unless you still can add some more keys to my order.
In the PM I asked for 3 Pi keys each, instead of my currently 2.

I spent way too much time trying to get display drivers installed for my system on Arch. After that I got tired of trying, so I went for something easy and fast. It's working right out of the box, and I am having no issues. Well, my R.A.T. 7 is the ****tiest mouse I ever bought, but that's not the distro's fault.
Don't go all elitist on me about which distro I should use. I'll probably switch to a different distro when I am running it on a desktop computer.

I'm not elitist, mint is a nice distrib. I was just surprised as it's a completely different ideology. Like, almost the two extremes.
-

OT: I'm just happy someone is using Linux on the desktop besides me. I have to use Windows at work, so I'm no elitist...just taunting you a bit. Mint (and Ubuntu) run really well out-of-the-box.
-
It was more annoying that I didn't get Arch to run with the display drivers. The hybrid graphics card didn't want to play ball, but in Mint it runs just fine. I am sure it would be easier with hardware that isn't retarded ;D.
-
Payment snet!
Yes, I snet it!
-
...Well, my R.A.T. 7 is the S H I T tiest mouse I ever bought, but that's not the distro's fault....
You don't like it then?
-
I use mint at work because it'll run well on everything. I use it to test/play video/flash/transfer files, etc.
At home, I'm switching from crunchbang to archbang, though I need to do some modification to it for me to like it.

On topic :p I can't wait for these: This has been a massively successful IC, and I will greatly enjoy my PI keys. I think I have enough to replace all the function keys and the numpad.

jil_jil32 has 60 more than jdcarpe! All 3 of the reds are very close, but it seems like RA is the front runner. I'm going to take a look at the color ring tonight and decide for sure but your feedback is helpful!

(Hint: Lots of people will soon have keycap sets with RBV modifiers...)
-
Mob mentality indeed! xD.
I actually have no clue what I am going to do with these. I wonder if my wife wants to take some pictures with key caps. (She reads the forums, so let's hope she sees this)
jdcarpe, I think someone ordered 100 of the H&S =p.
RBV FTW! I rescind my RA vote. RBV IS A GO!

If it's between RR and RA, definitely RA.
But I like RBV :D
-
So I'm looking at the colors now and I think RBV may be too dark. I made two mockups to match to the best of my ability RA vs RBV

-
Well, if you point it out that way, RBV really seems too dark. RA would be suited better.
-
I like the contrast that RBV gives it. That's still my vote (or 100 votes).
But the RA from your mockup is almost an exact match to the actual flag color (at least the one that's on Wikipedia). RBV will match the modifiers on the Red Alert Round 2 set I'm ordering. So either way, I win!
-
I keep my vote on RA. :D.
-
I like it historically correct, so I vote for RA
-
RBV gets my vote for sheer compatibility with other sets and novelty keys I have.

I think matching other keys on our keyboards should take priority over historical accuracy.

Wait, which one is the color that will match the other sets? I'm confused now. I thought it was RBV...is it RA? Crap, well which ever color is the one that will match the other group buy novelty keys/sets already made gets my vote.
If it's between RA and RR then my votes goes for RA as RR is way too orange. But if it's between RBV, RR, and RA, then I'm voting RBV because I'm a selfish bastard and I want my novelty keys to match the red alert set I've ordered.
-
All invoices are sent. You are now officially allowed to complain if you were expecting one and did not get it!
-
I'd love to complain, but I already got an invoice and paid it :(
-
Was a lot cheaper than I thought it would be: I should have ordered more :p
My 10 votes go for RR, though I think either is fine.
Edit: Paid as well

Red Alert will be RBV. Even though I am ordering a Red Alert set too, I am still leaning towards RA since it is the right color for the concept. This is a tough one...

Just pull the trigger on RBV. You won't regret it. Of the few people who care enough about it to post an opinion, I think most would rather have the keys color match the Red Alert set. One of these days when I run a GB, maybe I will make a YCH on RBV set, I need to think about it and get creative.
-
I want my RA*!!!!
Who cares about how it goes with other keys, most of us will probably change their keycaps in two month again either way. So at least we could try to get the color of the flag.
If we are able to use the full palette of color of SP, why would we restrict ourselves just so we have always the same colors.
This group buy is about an hammer & sickle keycap, not an escape key for the red alert set.
-
^ I changed my mind and agree (not that anyone cares what I think). I would think most people would NOT use these with the Red Alerts set (I won't) and that a closer match to the actualy colors is more important.

Awww, but you said I should decide. Now I'm hurt. :Cry:
I believe the reason RBV was picked for the original Red Alert set and is now recommended for novelty keys is that RA is just too damn bright. Same reason we are using WFK for the white Pi keys, and not WA.
-
Just because I think your opinion does matter a bit more than mine, doesn't mean that I can't have mine :p.
-
absolutely right! I would be a bit disappointed if the colors doesn't match the original colors of the flag... the mockup in OP suggested that it will be near to the original (I know there's no real original, but there's no one with the darker red of rgv, it's always a bright red)
With the rgv it looks like something went wrong with the color.
But thats only my opinion...

If someone wants to corrupt me I have 20 votes to cast on a color and am open to suggestions.
Payment accepted with R4 caps :-D
-
for those who like matching colors: RA would match the ragnarock set and that cool new biohazard group buy
-

This is spot on. Everyone who placed an order placed with an expectation that the mockup was what they were buying.
-
paid seconds ago :D (first GH buy, and also my first doubleshots!)
-
Paid :D
-
The decision has been made. RA
Sorry matchers, I totally understand the point, but everyone who bought, did it with the assumption that it would look similar to the mockup, and RBV is significantly darker.
-
Fine with me!

NOOOOOO!!!1!!11!!
I'm actually fine with the choice.

CLEARALL
Wait, wrong GB. And actually I don’t care about the color at all. :P
-
Will they be here next week?
:D
-

Not exactly.

Can we have pink Hammer and Sickle if nobody cares about the color?

Sure, when you get your caps, sit them in direct sunlight for a few weeks. :)

Paid =) sorry for the delay.
-
Highlighted in OP the missing payments.
-
Cancel orders and proceed? You have waited long enough, in my opinion. Would that drop us out of any price tiers?
-
Well some didn't get their invoice until Friday of last week. Lets just get square...if you are highlighted, pay up or cancel.
-
I tried poking izza on irc about this thread, but he didn't respond.
Just a question - since it's my first gb - how long will the production take when you place the order at sp?
-
Usually 4-6 weeks I believe.
-
Closer to 4
-
Man, I can't wait for this one and the Billiards GB's. Hope they turn out good. lol
-
This is a very good GB :D
I WANT MY KEY CAPS!
-
I CAN’T WAIT!
Oh wait, I can. :P Patience, guys!! :D

Deadline of Monday sent to all outstanding orders.

Can't wait!

My only disappointment is not ordering more keys.
-
Looks great! Extra's still available at http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=32986.0

I wonder where mine are. I would have expected them to be here now. Things fro China get here even faster than from the US :P

Ahh ok, check out the link in my signature for some better pictures!
-
Got mine on Thursday! :D
-
Will there be another run of these?
-
No need - they are available right now! http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=32986.new#new
-
Have you send them to the Netherlands before? I am starting to get a bit worries because I haven't received them yet but someone I talked to in the UK already has received them.
-
I believe I have. It has been about 2 weeks since they shipped...I understand your concern, but some international shipments (looking at you Germany) can take 3-4 weeks if the customs for the country takes their time with the package.
-
I've also had a shipment take ~3-4 weeks (to Australia). Though rare, it has happened! Good luck with getting yours soon merijn.
-
Finally received them and made a quick pic ;)

I got mine up in Canada on 7/25/2012. So you guys in Europe should be seeing them next week.
They turned out great! Nice job.
