[Shipped] Weezer Double Shot Keycap Group Buy
« on: Tue, 10 April 2012, 14:03:15 »
Production Progress Bar:
║██████████████████████████║

This is the official order thread for the Weezer Group Buy this Cherry MX key will be a Row 2 key to replace the "W" key or any key in the row below the numbers.  I have gotten initial approval from Melissa and price quotes below.  I would like to skip the whole IC and just hope that we make it to 50, which I think we should have no trouble doing.  If we do not make 50, I will cancel the GB.

A guy walked up and said: "You know washing your car doesn't make it faster, right?"
I popped the hood and replied: "Yeah... But that turbo does."

I sent it to Melissa already, I was upfront with her what it was and that I do not know if it is copyrighted.  She sent me quotes.  It is a possibility legal may step in, but for now we are on.

For my own curiosity why is it no-one bakes in the legend fee?  The worst variance (for this one) is ~$.23 more than the true cost.

Code: [Select]
50 @ $3.32    $166
 75 @ $2.36    $177
100 @ $1.89    $189
150 @ $1.41    $211.50
200 @ $1.175   $235
250 @ $1.03    $257.50
500 @ $0.74    $370

So I beat on the numbers some more... fix the $$ typo up top, $.23 not $.13, and get 50% more keycaps for only $11 ... SP and their crazy price tiers.

Sent PM for 2 keys. Also if this sort of thing is cool with SP, I suggest a future Foo Fighters F key.

I would imagine that both of these keys are in the clear since they're basically just letters. Here's hoping.

I would consider doing a FF afterwards if we can make the Weezer key a reality.  Lets get those orders in! :biggrin1:

The logo is legally protected so I'm sure they will cancel. Maybe try and get approval to use it?

That may be the case - but Melissa has given me the initial go-ahead.  If it cancels, bummer, but right now it is on.

What if you made it dye-subbed pbt and in a shade of blue that matches the dye sub group buy I did?

(It's pretty darn close to the blue album color).

P.s. I love that album.

I'm a big Weezer fan (even their new stuff), hopefully SP doesn't pull the plug.
