Title: Hot Pink Filco FKBN87M/PWC
Post by: digitalleftovers on Tue, 12 April 2011, 14:49:53

I would like to know if this pink filco is available for special order, or if it may potentially be available in the future, through The Keyboard Company.

As far as I can tell, it is only distributed in China, but it doesn't hurt to ask.  Ideally, I would love it if these became available on amazon in the US =).  I wanted to create this thread so others could chime if they wanted to express interest.

The Diatec site reads: "China limited model is now available!"  But... Does it HAVE to be limited???

No, I noticed that post this morning.  I would be interested, but shipping from china is going to put a board like this into RealForce price-land.  That is why I wanted to check to see if Bruce had a take on availability, first.

Yeah, Bruce.  Please get this one and put them on Amazon.  I'm sure it'd be sold out in a matter of hours if not minutes. lol

I have two of the full-sized pink Filcos with blues...one for my wife and one for my daughter. They love them!

There are a lot of things going on at Filco. We nick-named the Pink one figleaf today, somehow it made me think of lingerie.
We're concentrating a lot on getting Majestouch 2 models available all round and we have a couple of other really sweet limited editions coming along.
I can't say that we will get the Pink one though, I think that is sewn up, but I can ask.
The next two months or so will see a lot of new Filco models going onto Amazon - the iwantmeters are going to be straining!
I will keep you up to date as best I can.

Psyched on it Bruce. A special edition Cherry Blue Filco would warm my loins.

I took a bit of a flyer and got a few of these into UK. Not sure if they'll be of interest, but I like them.  Japanese in Italian Red (http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=833)

I presume Italian red is something like Ferrari Red w/o worrying about trademarks ?

BTW speaking about Italian something, what about the Filco w IT layout ?

WHY...why are you doing this to me?!? Excuse me while I go hide my wallet...

2 months ago I never figured I'd collect keyboards. Now I have to actively restrain myself from buying them.

After the bad experience I had with a Ducky, I might be getting a couple Majestouch-2's in the coming months.

Limited Editions are always welcome.

Those Japanese Filco look fantastic.

Seems that they're selling quite good! Only 6 left.
