Current Status: Complete
The group buy is complete. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Original Post
I am coordinating a group buy for silver metallic Phantom stickers. Shadovved is handling the backend (invoicing, production and shipping) and I'm in charge of the frontend (communication, orders and being awesome, (to quote Tym (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40788.0)).
GB Deadline: April 5th
ORDER FORM (http://mashby.com/phantom-sticker-group-buy/)
Details
The size of the sticker will be 6cm x 0.9cm and made out of reflective silver metallic material with 3M adhesive. If you're unfamilar with what the silver metallic stickers look like, they will be made of the same material as his earlier Cherry & GeekHack stickers (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40240.0). In the image below, the black color will be silver outline of the sticker.
(http://l.mashby.com/CAFu+)
Special thanks to 7bit for providing the original image (http://deskthority.net/wiki/File:PhantomLogo.png) from Deskthority Wiki and of course to HaveANiceDay (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=5082) for creating such a fantastic logo and releasing it as open source, so that this sticker could be made.
Sample Render
Fellow GeekHacker kaporkle (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20953) was kind enough to create a 3D render of what the final sticker COULD look like. This is not an exact measurement and recreation of the final sticker, but it will give you some idea of what the final product will look like.

There are gaps......so wont cover 100%, most likely will make it uglier
-
Anyone know if these are large enough to cover the logo on the plu87 boards?
Since they are cut outs, there's no background, so I wouldn't think it'd cover the logo.

Okay no problem, I can probably make or find something the same color of the plu case to cover the logo, then put this sticker on top.

Hell. Yes. My love for shiny objects and Phantom related goodies has finally been united.

Hm, this or Cherry Logo for my Phantom... I think this one, but then I'd need to get a few of these. Ugh.

Get this AND the cherry logo ;D
You wont be able to resist my new rendition, I believe!

I do enjoy red. Red Cherry Stickers will look good. I'll likely combine the Cherry red font with a silver Cherry logo.

Buy the Phantom too man! Sticker shoppe opening in around 2 weeks, good for yall to combine shipping with either SC2 or Phantom, or both! ;D
-
Updated the OP with the current count. It's only been about 12 hours, but we currently have a total of 52 stickers ordered.
Breakdown looks something like this:
Geekhack: 40
Deskthority: 10
Reddit: 2
-
We has 11 orders!
GH is in the lead, work on it people! :cool:
-
Start of the week tomorrow!! :-X
-
Just a quick update that we are up to 60 stickers ordered. There are still 12 days left in the GB, so I'm very excited with the results thus far.
Bundle Your Orders
I know that Shadovved has some remaining stickers in his previous group buys and he has some new stickers on the way, so remember you can bundle your stickers into a single order if you like. Everything still ships for the same $5.
You can see an image of all the stickers at this link (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40240.msg832600#msg832600).
-
I got 10.
-
Not all, there are still some in construction ;D
-
We are now up to 71 stickers!
-
I am not a Photoshop whiz, but I took a crack at what the sticker might look like. I did not exactly measure the area, etc., so don't take this image as the gospel of what the final sticker will look like. :p
-
If the previous picture didn't give you enough of an idea of just how bad I am at Photoshop, this next image will. :))
Kaporkle (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20953) was kind enough to do a 3D render of what the sticker COULD look like and it totally blew me away.
This is not an exact measurement and recreation of the final sticker, but it will give you some idea of what the final product will look like.
My crappy photoshop sticker bumped us up to 81 stickers ordered. I'm curious to see what this bad boy will do. :p
-
You can enjoy this while purchasing stickers!
-
Updated the OP with the full render and updated the totals. Now up to 85 stickers.
You can view the render on Flickr at this link (http://www.flickr.com/photos/52308907@N07/8601209423/) or I've attached it below.

Filled out form for 4! Thanks :D

Since you thread crapped in Prof's thread, I'll threadcrap in here. :P (kidding)
To these people, where please PM me with where you would like your PCB to go. I don't know if people still want their PCB to go to Prof pending the recent stuff with the GB. I don't know if people want their PCB shipped to Prof, WFD, myself, or to the owner of said PCB.

Wow! Thanks Glissant, you've pushed us that much closer to the next tier. :-*
-
8 is an odd number to buy. I demand you buy me two! :P (kidding, please don't)
-
OK.
mashby, could you add two more to my order, please? =)
-
I was kidding!
-
Oh, and 8 is actually an even number, not odd ;) .
I am not kidding :p
-
That's why I edited my post to "8 is an odd number *edit*to buy*edit*" :P
-
OK.
mashby, could you add two more to my order, please? =)
Your order has been updated to 10 stickers and we're now currently at 108 stickers ordered!
-
Price Update!
There was a math error in Shadovved's calculations for the original pricing tiers. He caught the error and lucky for us it means lower pricing tiers! So instead of $1.60 per sticker, the new lower price is $1.42 per sticker.
We are currently in our last week of the GB and we have 114 total stickers order. I've updated the OP, but the new pricing tiers are listed below.
Pricing Tiers
- $1.42 per sticker
- $1.37 per sticker ( > 200 )
- $1.32 per sticker ( > 300 )
-
mashby, can you change my order to 10 stickers, please? Thanks!

More of me punching the calculator wrongly for the area required for the stickers ;D
I think it must have been that late night thingy :p
EDIT: I will be combining shipping dates for the SC2 GB and the Phantom GB and my upcoming sticker shoppe so, feel free to combine orders till then, one time shipping ONLY!
*will be announcing when I stop accepting combined shipping with GBs when I finish up my shop thread once I am done with the different stickers*
-
Also up my order to 5
Done. Thank you affect656!
-
Three days remain for this group buy, so don't delay if you plan on ordering any.
Our current total is 136 stickers.
-
Only two days remain!
I put together a list of orders placed here on Geekhack, which you can find on the second post (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41486.msg829655#msg829655) of this thread. This will allow you to confirm that you have indeed placed an order for this group buy. If you don't see your name on the list, please PM me (or place an order) ;D
Current count is now 146.
-
Yay soon I can pretend to own a Phantom too :D
-
I may have to send another thing to Glissant...
-
Just a reminder that today is the final day to place your order (http://mashby.com/phantom-sticker-group-buy/).

Invoice received and paid!
-
Lots of payments have been received and I'm updating the list here, in the second post (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41486.msg829655#msg829655) of this thread.
Just a reminder that the faster the payments are received the faster the production can start. ;D
-
Out of the 38 orders that were placed, only 8 are currently unpaid. Not bad considering invoices have only been out for 3 days. :cool:
-
paidzzz
-
Out of all orders, only 4 payments are outstanding. 1 on Deskthority, 2 on GeekHack and 1 on Reddit. Not too shabby considering it's only been 5 days since the invoices went out.
Thanks to everyone for paying so quickly!
-
And then there were 3. :)
PM's were just sent to the three outstanding payments and hopefully we'll be able to close the invoicing phase today. Note to self, be sure to include a payment due date in future group buys. :rolleyes:
The next step will be production, which will take approximately 3 weeks. So the sooner we get the invoicing completed, the sooner we can begin production.

Production already starting/started ;D
-
I'm happy to report that with only 1 invoice outstanding, we've moved into the production phase!
The stickers will take approximately 3 weeks to have them produced. Once that's completed, Shadovved will ship them directly to you.
Thanks again to everyone for paying so quickly.

I am thrilled to announce that Shadovved has finished making the stickers!
(http://i.imgur.com/Qr6XOut.jpg)
He is currently in the process of sorting them and packing them up. Current ETA for shipping is next week, so if there are any other stickers you'd like to bundle (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40240.0) with this order to save on shipping, you have until 4/26 to get any additional orders in.

It's ironic this is the last phantom part that started, yet most will receive this before any other part.

Ordered and waited. The stickers made the long journey from Singapore to USA. Finally they arrived but I needed to sign for them. After a few days of missing the postman, I had take my lunch hour and drive to the post office to pick it up. Then, because I was busy with work, they kicked around in my car for a while. This weekend, while cleaning it out, I apparently threw them away by accident. All that time, money, and effort, only to toss them without ever even looking at them. I'm so effing frustrated :'(
-
:( How many did you get 'Qaz?
-
I dunno, two or three. If they just didn't come in the mail, I wouldn't be so pissed off. But my time is valuable. I picked through the trash in the heat today to no avail. Ugh. Who knows what happened to them.

I havent received any returns from failed delivery yet.....
So I'll say everyone received their stickers :))
