If it's okay with ye_cole and anyone would like to take my GB spot, I could use the money elsewhere at the moment.
I'll take your spot if it's open. Pm on Reddit at: shortdash
Or if anyone else wants to drop out, send me a Pm please! :)

I'm located in the US (SoCal). I see that you're in Asia so I'm not sure if a GB transfer would be allowed. We can check we ye_cole though

Hey guys, Sorry for the lack of updates recently!

Here's a screenshot of my recent conversation. As you can see, it's taking the factory a while, and I'm not sure why.

https://imgur.com/a/5faVu

Also, if you have any transfer requests, PLEASE send them to my reddit account (guess_whos_black) I'm far more active on there. Feel completely free to spam me until i get your thing done by the way.

So, yeah. I'm so so sorry for all the delays, but for some reason the factory just seems to take forever? I'm honestly not sure why, and they haven't really given me a reason either.

No worries. Pretty much par for the course as far as I'm concerned.

Hey ye_cole! I sent you a message on reddit and also here on GK about an address change on my account since I am moving this next month! I don't want this to get sent to my old address. :P

Shoot me confirmation when you see this or shoot me a pm if you have any questions!

I'm looking forward to this set!

Thanks for following up! I've been asking the factory for updates every 3 or so days, and they're pretty much telling me to keep waiting at the moment. Once again, I'm so sorry for the delays, but I don't really have any control over what happens on their end.

I don't want to answer for ye_cole but I will say is that it appears that Maxkey may be experiencing delays because of molds. There are a couple other GB sets that are also delayed because of mold issues.

When was the order placed to Maxkey? Just asking because I noticed Maxkey Flamingo has samples now

And based from their GB info it ran after this GB just wondering why theirs are done already (molds?)

punksinatra, AFAIK ours was delayed a bit because we requested more accurate colors -- the first samples didn't quite nail the colors so we voted to request a more accurate color-match which incurred some delay (plus this was in the midst of Chinese New Year) ... correct me if I'm wrong ye_cole :)

correct. :)

also, if they gave me an accurate timeline, we should be getting sample pictures today or tomorrow.

Maybe it is just the light, but to me they look not like the colours from the renders at all.
The left looks more like a blueish dark grey, not like a dark blue. Looks way of, or is it just me?
The grey I expected to be lighter, but checking pics from the "real" SA set, it might fit.

Pretty much impossible to say how close this is to the OG set without a direct comparison.

I can't get a comparison just yet, as they haven't shipped. However, I did send them sample chips, and I've requested that they take photos with the chips next to the caps.

Great! I'm going to be making the final payment soon then. (the other half). People have cancelled/dropped, so if I can get to it, i may be offering extras (US ONLY) for a short period of time. They've just asked me for the final quantity of sets (to start production) so it should be happening very soon now.

I'll keep everybody updated. (TLDR: maybe 9 extras in the next 72 hours).

Specifically: 9 people refunded for NA. Asian region may have 1-20 refunds.

So, the caps below the color chip are the recent samples they made? what are the caps above the color chips? the previous incorrect color samples?

Both caps are the same color.

I don't think I can make it- I'm sending a close family member to there to transfer in person however. He lives about an hour away from their factory!
