Shipping fees will be invoiced separately after I get the boards in hand and have QC'd them.

I will contact you at that time to confirm your shipping details.

Form will start accepting submissions January 25th, 5PM PST

Buy Details
To make the buy more manageable for me, this run will be limited to 50 units. One per person. FCFS.
You will not be able to edit the form after you have submitted it. Please make sure that your response is accurate.
If absolutely necessary, PM me about order changes on GeekHack or Discord (much more likely to respond).

For those that get a spot, the payment is due 24 hours after receipt of the invoice. The invoice amount will include kit price and whatever extras you chose as well as PayPal fees. This invoice will NOT include shipping fees. As stated before, that will be invoiced at a later date.

I'm still undecided on that. Honestly not sure how helpful it would really be to people.

So hyped for this! Glad I could finally snag a nice Alice layout board.

Some people have expressed interest in a CF plate for their Fallacy kits. Please read before filling the form out.

This form is for people who are in the Fallacy Group Buy and would like to add on a Carbon Fiber plate (and/or a PCB) to their orders. As such these items will be shipping with your main kit order.

$50 for additional PCB
$40 for Carbon Fiber plate

PLEASE NOTE: This is for Fallacy Group Buy participants ONLY. Form submissions from other people will be ignored. The add-ons will be shipped with your Fallacy kit.

Further Notes:
1) I have decided to move away from PayPal. This will be invoiced with Stripe. An email will be sent to you with a link to pay for the add-ons. The invoice will include a standard 3% transaction fee.
2) If the orders I receive do not meet the MOQ I was provided, I will be cancelling these add-ons.

Any update?

Esheu2 · « **Reply #31 on:** Thu, 02 April 2020, 20:15:47 »

Oops, sorry for neglecting this thread. Copy pasted from Discord server:
Production update.
For the case:
Production of the aluminum parts is under way. Brass is still delayed unfortunately. My contact is currently on a business trip, but I expect to be given some video or photo updates from him once he gets back.

For the PCB:
I chose purple for the circuit board color. The circuit board has been made. It is now just waiting to get the SMD components soldered on (might take a while due to huge backlog. I was told it might take over a month).

yicaoyimu · « **Reply #32 on:** Wed, 15 April 2020, 14:24:50 »

Any chance for extra or round 2? I got into Alice too late and missed this

Esheu2 · « **Reply #33 on:** Thu, 04 June 2020, 12:25:30 »

Update for those not in my Discord: The boards are being shipped to me at this moment. Please be prepared to confirm your shipping address.

I apologize for the delays in this group buy. Thank you for your patience.
