(GB) TOXIC (shipping)

[rowdy]

Those greens are completely different.

I'd be really disappointed if they turn out like the ones Panda just posted (looks like a pale green rather than a toxic green as per Bro Caps picture)

The color also appears differently to your eyes depending what other colors are next to it. Put it next to some greens and the toxic caps look more yellow, next to some shades of yellow it ends up looking more green. It is a really cool color and I hope more people make sets with custom colors at SP since there is no charge for a new color.

No charge for new colours ... with the size of the Toxic GB I would imagine PMK are making lots of money even after factoring in R&D for the colour

Which is good for them, good for GH, and good for the relationship between us

I don't think it was overly large by any means, certainly not as big as the hype.  )

Thanks bun--I appreciate the update! You're a saint to the community, please don't go anywhere!!

Tell Racoon thanks too--we know you guys are rocking it out right now

[Fire Brand]

So since these are going to be shipped soon I wondered has the toxic box been dropped now, or did I just miss them :x

Also any update on the special event for those that qualified for toxic bots but didn't get them?

No charge for new colours ... with the size of the Toxic GB I would imagine PMK are making lots of money even after factoring in R&D for the colour

There isn't really R&D for a new color. You send PMK a pantone code, they request a sample of ABS in that color from their plastic manufacturer, and then they make a sample key for you to verify if the color is what you want. The only stipulations is you have to be able to use up a certain quantity of raw ABS (or PBT for that matter I think) in your buy. If you want a cool neon text color that may not be enough plastic utilized, but if you have modifiers and/or alphas you will probably easily use up enough plastic for them to make the purchase of a new color.

Thanks for the detail!

I probably need to learn more about the keycap manufacturing supply chain processes )

[DanielT]

Also for PBT you can get custom colors, the same thing was done for the Galaxy Class GB where the color was not available.

You can also outright buy a colour of plastic that then only you can use - it costs about $600, but then it is your personal stock of that individual colour.

from my understanding

its slightly better than that

so

that $600 dollars isnt a fee, that $600 dollars buys x amount of the plastic, and that tone or shade or whatever is then yours

then

when you order anything in that colour, you get a discount on the cost because you already "own" x amount of the plastic, once that plastic runs out, that shade is still exclusive to you, however obviously you would lose said discount once more needs to be ordered

Wow!  I really didn't realise keycap manufacturing was so complicated

I wonder if you could "colour squat" - pay the $600 for a certain colour, and not do anything with it except stop others from using it

Anyway, enough chatter about that, back on topic this GB gotta change from "production" to "shipping" soon!

Not quite. As you can see 139 and 140 are pretty different for being only 1 number apart.


I don't think you could really "squat" on a color though. It just means If I bought PMS 139, and you wanted to use that color, you couldn't use my supply of 139. You would have to buy your own, since it isn't Signature Plastics material, it's mine, they're just holding on to it for me.

I work at a print company and its the same sort of system. If a customer buys a roll of adhesive vinyl for us to use, we can't sell that particular roll of vinyl to any other customer. It's their roll, we're just holding on to it for them. If another customer wanted to print on the same material, they absolutely can. They just have to buy their own roll, since the roll we have isn't ours to sell.

That makes more sense.

And still, while "1 number apart" isnt really the same in terms of 139 and 140, you could just get 145 or 146 instead and they both look realllyy similar to 139. But it doesnt matter anyway lol

I PM'd you a little while back asking about possible extras, but never got a response.

Not sure if it was ignored for being stupid (wouldn't blame ya) or if you just missed it.

Should I PM you again?

Looking for reverse mod set to go with my extra Toxic Alphas.

we will be putting all extras up once the gb shipping is concluded now sir

i wouldnt have ignored your pm even if my answer was a little boring, some seem to go missing or not get sent, some i may occasionally miss during a busy time, as if i come on to say 30 pms, as soon as i  click inbox, i lose the new notification for all of them, so occasionally i may miss the odd one from a page back or something

Ticket very slow

[Monidas]

Thanks for the tip. I have, though, like 3 or 4 times now. I dunno, I have been trying since March, yet I can't get an answer on this one.

Anyway, I will wait a bit, in case he sees this post.

Thanks for the help, though

I'm still debating if I should harvest the LEDs from mine.. or sell it on the classifieds for someone else to harvest.. but, I can tell you from first hand experience that the LEDs on the Mionix is VERY similar to what i've seen in toxic pics.
