[GB] Gonna take you right into the ... DANGER ZONE! [Shipped]

[Data]

I'm willing to ask MD to get us a quote on this.  It would be the absolute final change.  Let me know what you think.



This is the GROUP BUY phase.  The time for adding keys has long since passed.  I'm only entertaining these changes because we have several months before actual production begins, and because I want people to be happy with the set.  I like the idea of near-universal adaptability -- that was the whole point of going with Row 3.  But it will never be perfect.  Some keyboards will be left behind.  Thus, we have the Goose Pack.   

Included are:
Scooped homing keys for Num Pad, QWERTY, COLEMAK, and DVORAK
Danger Zone flair for Planck and ErgoDox
Highlighted Enter key for Planck
1.5u Backspace for Infinity and HHKB-type layouts

I love it! If this goes, I am definitely in...once I get rid of some novelties and the SA Retro Burgundy base kit, that is...

edit:

[Data]

The small Blank Pack is now available for $6.49.

FYI, blanks and space bars are unlikely to have any tiered pricing.

[bbrotha]

Any chance we can get yellow spacebars in there? 

[Data]

Nope.   

[00zeRO]

Any chance we can get yellow spacebars in there? 

Try some other obscure lego theme set in the IC's...probably a year away from production on that one... 

[Data]

FYI, we've unlocked the first price breaks for the Base Kit and NumPad.

Every kit has either tipped or is very close except for JD40.

JD40 gets no love. 

[00zeRO]

Any word on the Goose kit?

If my JD40 didn't have purple plates I would totally get in on that.

If i could find a JD40 i would be on it lol.

I asked this earlier but didn't find a response - does the base kit have any type of homing on F and J by default, either scoops, bars, or nipples? The renders don't show anything.

EDIT: I found them, wtb new eyes

Base kit renders are very well done to expose nips, pardon the pun

I never noticed that until you just now pointed them out.

Am I blind or does the base render not show any difference on F/J?


EDIT: I am blind, separate F/J homing nips are exposed below the main section.

Those renders only just went up this morning. The banner has been up for a few days.

My original renders had bumps on the homing keys, including in the Maverick Pack, but they are hard to see (low contrast).
 

[00zeRO]

Just letting you know that I officially joined the drop!

Still curious about the Goose Pack, Data? 

[Data]

Zero the Hero.   

Goose Pack is still awaiting pricing from SP.  I haven't heard anything from Alex or Kunal yet today.

I imagine it will be its own drop, right?

[Data]

No it will be added to the current drop as a child kit, like the space bars and blanks were.

[00zeRO]

Hmm...I hope MD will not charge secondary shipping should I submit a second order for the Goose and it actually make it...

To avoid that, just add it to your existing order from the My Transactions page.

[whmeltonjr]

Is the third drop for base sets 500?

[00zeRO]

I certainly will...hopefully SP will get back to you soon, there are only 7 days left!

[Data]

Is the third drop for base sets 500?

It would be 250 or 300, but I'm not sure if MD asked for a price at that tier.  They will update it if we get that high.  Don't expect a huge price drop beyond 300 sets.

The above Goose Pack is now available for purchase.  It's quite a bit more expensive than I thought, but that's what happens when you add **** mid-GB. 

I'm sure it's at the lowest MOQ so we can get it cleared for production within 7 days.

Just added it...hope it tips...I can't believe I am in so far on this set...

...in preparation I sold my Base kit of SA Retro Burgundy, and will be selling novelties...thanks again for doing this set Data.

Geez don't sell your retro's because later on you WILL regret that awful decision.  Especially when a few years pass by and you see some lucky person showing his Retro Ware online I bet you'll be teary eyed because you gave it up on a false premise, that you need some money urgently.

Money can always be acquired by various means BUT the Retro isn't.  I'm into this Danger Zone set as well because it's a very nice colour-way with clear legends reminding everyone out there that you have a jet-fighter style of setup before you.  Surprised why there isn't more gamers after this key-set.

If you game then you aint serious, unless you have the Danger Zone installed into your keyboard (FACT)  .

[bocahgundul]

IM IN YEEEEEEEEEY MY FIRST CUSTOM KEYCAPSSS OR MIGHT I SAY FIRST EXPENSIVE KEYCAPS

[Gurkanical]

If I buy this, this will be my first SA key set. I really want them. Shipping to Australia, and then converting it to Australia makes the price so steep, (will cost more than my actual keyboard). Anyone from Australia getting one out of curiosity? And will it be worth the 120 dollars or so? I also plan to add the Numbad pack to fit my full size board in the future, which adds to the total of $159.99 AUD. rip wallet.

I'm not from Australia but shipping to where I'm at + the currency conversion will cost me more than a brand new keyboard as well but this set is definitely a keeper in my opinion  So buy with confidence if you're really loving the colorway and design of this set

Thanks for the commentary. I loved being able to type on the SA Retro as it took me back to my Commodore days, but I should have purchased the NumPad set with it. Since I am going all in on the Danger Zone (which was inspired by my Vault keys, btw) and the sheer fact that it will look sexy on my full-size white case Shine II with Blazing Blue LED's, I win in this. [Bonus is that all my Row 3 Novelties will not be out of place with this set]

Only bummer is that I have to wait until Feb-March to type on them... 

[Data]

Yeah, settle in.  We're in for a long ride on this one.

No afterburners necessary, eh Top?

Miramar?... I have a cool story for you bro,

Once, I had a 5 day class in a building adjacent to Miramar. Everytime a jet took off, the building would shake and the instructor would have to stop for several minutes until we could hear him again. This happened several times an hour. It was fantastic.

Yes, I experienced that nearly every day for 6 years.  It never got old.   

These were F-16s.  I can only imagine the majestic roar of Tomcats and Hornets.

Is Goose still only at 12?

Is Goose still only at 12?

Numbers were last updated on Thursday afternoon.  I wouldn't expect to see another update until Monday.  Safe bet it's way more than 12.

Yeah nothing happens at MassDrop over any weekend period.  They have to go home and see their loved ones as well, so you'll have to wait till Monday to see all the updated information.

I'm wondering if these have the same textures as the Nuclear Data set -- sort of a semi-gloss, textured surface.

These would look great in a smooth glossy texture.

I've also never had SA or uniform 3rd-row before... but does this set ever look good...

Yeah, they'll be Semi-Gloss like Nuclear Data and many other SA sets.  It's the only finish available for the 1.75u, 2.25u, and 2.75u keys in Row 3.  It's also the only finish available for space bars if the document I have is correct.  Best to have everything match.
