Yes they are. This is from yesterday: (http://www.kbdist.com/updates/)

As for the Sky Dolch, we are one fifth done with the shipping. We still need to get a lot completed, and we are working on shipping everything out as soon as we can.

Wow, no joke! ETF is (no surprise) a freaking boss.

Just ordered one from the marketpalce! So glad I'm able to get my hands on this set! It's look amazing. Any chance extra modifiers will go on sale?


Thanks again for all your hard work bringing an awesome site like that.

Of course there's a chance, a huge chance

Same here. I kept checking kbdist for updates in general and then found out about the sky fugus through some reddit comments.. 

[dfrib]

I just received my Sky Dolch, and it's generally looking great 

A few keys of the E profile rows (function & numbers keys) had some issues in the back, however, where one of the four "flanges" (which limits key attachment dephs to the switches) where smeared about, particularly raised above the plane of intended depth limit, resulting in these keys being raised higher than its neighbours, when attached to my keyboard. I noticed that this particular flange (the one directed towards the user of the keyboard, for each key),  when not smeared about, seemed to be present for some keys, and absent for other, so I assume it isn't necessary that this flange is present, given that the remaining three are intact.

(http://imgur.com/a/SusMb - Pardon the poor quality, the best my camera could do ...)

Is this smeared flange situation common, and something I should attempt to correct myself (sharp scissor etc)? I haven't ever "worked" with GMK plastic, so I don't want to attempt some fix that might brittle-kill the whole mx stem slider. Or, is this a manufactoring issue that should be prompted to request replacements?

Thanks!

[dubious]

o gawd....
I hope a large batch of replacements isn't in order

There's a chance I'm super stoked about that!

I have came up with pricing and this is what we are seeing.

Please add in if you want to see the kits together or separate!

Base: $135 - 148 keys
Magenta+Shift Pack: $56 ~45 keys
RGBYO: $42 - 29 keys

It seem there is confusion to all the accent kits. They were all made and they should be ready with the Sky Dolch. Estimated shipping date is 3/28.

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=88163.0

I couldn't pass up on those accent kits, because I've been wanting these since I got the Sky Dolch set in.

Just a quick question, what are the "Sky Dolch & Sky Dolch Accessories" vs. "Sky Dolch Kit"?

What gaiden just said. The Sky Dolch accessories are the following items:

RGBYOD
Magenta Dolch (including Yellow Shifts)
Miami Accent

This excludes the Sky Dolch Accent Kit.

Sherry, when were yellow shifts dropped from the group buy? I was kind of counting on these for my CMY theme, and they didn't show up with my magenta mod pack

[TheWhiteAndTheBlue]

Just got the set in and it looks gorgeous! I did, however have a couple of issues.

• I also had a couple of keys that had the extra bit of plastic underneath that caused them to stick upon bottoming out.
• The standard spacebar had some unfortunate scratches on the top of it right out of the box.

Should I send something in through the regular Contact page on the Originative website?

Thanks for looking into it. This is the colorway of my dreams and I'm super happy with every other part of the set. 

[kawasaki161]

Apparently my package (#7230) arrived yesterday (it didn't). I'll give it another few days (probably until Tuesday), maybe they just scanned it early (or it ended up at the customs office again:( ) if it didn't arrive by then I'll message support again, it's like Skeletor all over again .

[Chazmondo]

Got mine . Now I have to decide between Hydro and Sky Dolch!

I don't have the broken bit of plastic sticking up on mine but I do see that the whole set has either 3-4 flanges or just a half molded (derp) 4th flange on a handful of my caps.

Checking against my GMK TA set; I don't see this non-uniformity present there.
I'll check my GMK Skeletor set when I get home.

You may want to call your regional customs office. The way USPS tracking are done, they mark the packet as "Delivered" once it has been handed over to the local mail handler (In your case it's probably Deustche Post or something similar).

This is how it works in the UK also. My packet has been marked as Delivered and I know for a fact that it's waiting at the local post depot because I just got a slip from Royal Mail yesterday demanding me to hand over my hard-earned cash for customs

Hey Sherry! Will there be extra sets of the Magenta Dolch up on the store?

[-musubi]

Will there be another GB phase for Sky Dolch or is it just going to be stocked in the store from now on?

[tron]

Just finished my road kit + Sky Dolch. Finally have a proper left side calc/macro pad with a great colorway 

[sherryton]

Yeah, there'll be like a group buy / pre-order phase.
