I'll be giving them out for free as a thanks through raffle (or if shipping costs drastically change going through livinspeedbump I can offer raffle tickets for the caps to cover the different).

But otherwise everyone should have a fair shot at one.

Will the caps be shipped to the winners separately or with the Golbat kits? That would be pretty cool to not know who won until they all get shipped out.

Either way keep us updated and I am excited to see the caps!

Unfortunately with krytone having a baby recently it's highly unlikely that they'll be done before the boards are shipped to LSB

I realize I am so super late to this party, but is there any chance you have another slot opened up, or would be setting up a round 2 on this?

I'd consider selling my order to you if you were interested in my color choices.

I would definitely be up for that. Are we talking a straight transfer, or are you asking for more $$ than the GB?  ...Ill PM you.

Straight transfer I'm no punk. :-) I did purchase two colors. Glitch3d should hopefully be able to sort it out.

Err the last thing that I did was the buyer of the new order just PPed me the difference for shipping (if necessary. USA is flat rate)

Seems like it would be safer to paypal directly to you Glitch.  ...I actually filed out the order form, not expecting anything to come from it, but you should have my info. Either way, email an invoice, and I have money waiting.

At the very least it's the cheapest GB with an aluminum case IIRC?

If you exclude shipping, then definitely yes. And probably with shipping included as well.

Compared to some of the other 40% ish layouts that have been up recently I think the Golbat has been both the cheapest and my favorite layout. I've also always really liked sandwich style cases, especially on smaller form factor boards.

I can't wait to see the themes that people come up with :P

As I mentioned earlier I'm putting troubled minds on a purple alu and green acrylic board.


Also as a quick update I haven't heard back from GFW about the PCBs

So I was going to do an April Fools day joke saying that the boards were already shipped except that they actually should be shipping soon. I got word today that the PCBs are finished and GFW is packing everything.

Good news =)

Over half the boards have been checked / packed by GFW so we should expect shipping from China to leave soon.

I will most likely be doing a new form for buyers of the golbat to double check the address before shpping

The shipping from China will probably take less than the trip US -> Canada -> Germany. But I think this kit will definitely be worth the wait.

Packing over in China is just about done. Shipping to North America should be about a week.

If anyone is looking to take over a set, pm me. I got a pink plate, both styles, and a dark colored acrylic layer. Sooner then later is better :P

I have no idea who you think I am but I have no qualms with you posting in this thread. Why exactly is it up to me what is allowed and not allowed?

All questions of that nature should go to GL1TCH3D!

GLITCH3D, you're still going to send out a Google Docs form to confirm addresses right? I'll be moving out of my uni apartment soon and can't seem to remember which address I put down  :p
