Just wanted to bump this, as I saw some posts on this.

Last week, I had a good chat with a new manufacturer, and I had some third parties visit them in Asia to confirm a few things. Basically, few things are moving.
I paid for a new sample mold for the 55g + BKE domes.
The mold will be produced after Sept 6, and samples delivered at the end of Sept to me.
After that, we will run through some QC and then see how to proceed.

The biggest thing about the domes is the quality. It is so immensely important to get the feeling and rubber right on it.
Once we have good samples, we'll be proceeding, but this is kinda "pending", but I made a little progress.

Lastly, in order to alleviate the whole "GB PROCESS", and "WAITING" period, I'll be skipping that here.
In any case, we have a small waiting game for the samples.

Some people who will receive the samples as they helped me on the backend for this to get it to where it is today:
- Platabear
- Quakemz
- Thedford
- Gajible

I have 70 domes of each total, and they get 10 each.

I hope this update is substantial enough, as I want to state that manufacturers are a dime a dozen, and hopefully we're closing in the one that can provide us the amazing feels that we desire.
