Subj.

Shipping Oct 31. Yellow (which were missing last time EK had them), red, orange, blue. No whites, no otaku.

Yellow is tempting, but I prefer no print...

Nothing a good organic solvent can't correct.

Haha. Actually, I might get it for my Type-S with print.

I guess being impatient is not a virtue. My yellow / blue sets should be arriving from Iomania today. They had the same selection, so I guess lettered white caps and all five types of blanks are no longer available. Too bad I missed the group buy.

Mine came in from iomania today, it's okay we didn't pay much extra anyways and beats missing out on them again anyways, that would suck ;(

Well, why didn't you order a tenkeyless-sized roof along with them?

Cuz David insisted that they don't have any, can't order something when the seller says they don't have lol ;(

I RMA half the keys piecemeal because they deviate from the correct orientation by 30 arcminutes.

Interesting, maybe I snagged the last one? It's still not as nice as the Bird Electron ones with beveled edges, I might have to take a router to it.

Actually that dye penetrate quite deep into the plastic.

No guarantee of the keycaps surviving this ordeal was stated or implied.

Tempted to buy the red set just to finish off the collection, and then I can finally do the RGB configuration, kinda steep just for 2 red ctrl keys though

Finish off the collection? You have the other 9 sets?

BTW, the case color on our 10th anniversary 87U's is bumming me out. Yellow just doesn't look as good on it as it does on the regular black 87Us. I wonder if it's the world telling me I have to go all out Lister and get another 87U?..

Gin · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 24 October 2011, 14:20:20 »

Omg! You owe me

The skull keycaps tipped me toward purchasing the yellow ones.

litster · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 24 October 2011, 15:14:26 »

My hunch was correct, it was the world telling me to get the new 87UB 45g. And a bunch of other stuff.

If anyone is interested what quantities are left (updated 10/25):

Red - 14
Orange - 20
Blue - 21
Yellow - 15

i can't assume red is selling the best since I dont know what the starting quatities were, but its the lowest quantity available.

Update: Yellow seems to be catching up to Red...which will sell out first.
