Now that Vault 13 SA Group Buy has exceeded my expectations, I have decided to run a second installment in the Fallout-inspired series.
This set will be introducing two new legends for the Fallout 3 fans: Vault 101, New and Improved Vault 13, and Nuka Cola (for all fans, :D)
Thanks to Mogo, these are the final legends:
Parent Deal:

I don't think they were ever for purchase.

A disclaimer has now been added to each child deal on PMK. SP will work with the shipping on the child deals if you buy multiples and request it.
The disclaimer now reads as follows:
*depending on the size of your order, we can refund the duplicate shipping when requested*
Post by: JaccoW on Tue, 23 December 2014, 08:35:49
Subtotal $19.16
Calculated Shipping $19.50*
Total $38.66

Sigh...Make sure you make your requests known and they'll refund you

Seems awful silly that SP can't handle the extra shipping charges on their end.I was told that each child deal is treated as a separate GB and they they need to ensure that the shipping is covered in each. In hindsight I should have followed Matt3o's advice and made all keycaps available in one big parent deal...
Maybe next time in Series III

I hope people seriously consider the Irradiated Vaults (http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/irradiated-vaults-sa-row-3-double-shot-set-vault-101-vault-13/) child deal. Polycarbonate AND GID plastic doubleshot is about as rare as it gets with SA-profile keycaps, and I'd love for the child deal to tip!

Well, let's see if we can cause the Irradiated Vaults to tip...it seems to have stalled out at 8 orders. We only need 7 more to go.We managed to get the new mockups up on the Child Deal:
http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/irradiated-vaults-sa-row-3-double-shot-set-vault-101-vault-13/
Now, hopefully the "*Note that this color combination has never been produced – quality may be compromised – purchase at your own risk*" disclaimer doesn't scare too many people away.

Quick update, Parent Deal is now at 82 purchased, so we are at the $6.28 per set price point! Very nice indeed!
Oh and the Irradiated Vaults has now tipped and will be going into production. If we can sell just 7 more sets, they will be almost half the price! We can do this...you guys are awesome. :thumb:

I've ordered from PMK before but not with multiple child deals, so I have a question:Please read the last couple of posts on the IC on GH pls. I will try to link it here later...it stacks only in initial order, but shouldn't when they reinvoice you after the GB ends...

Now we only need one more for the main deal. ;)
I'm gonna have so much fun making pictures of those GID keys with the giant blacklight I dug up from a corner of my room. It makes GID things look great!

Purchased 2x of the Parent deal and 1x Irradiated set.
I love Fallout 3 but am having a very difficult time getting into New Vegas. That sucks but I guess I'll finish it one day.
I love them both, but I understand. There are good things to each one. Factions can get annoying because of the lack of freedom, but...it does add an element of role-play that is nice to see in the overpowered FPS gaming around now...

MOZ was the one that made these. He moved to a different continent since then and I believe said he would never do them again. But who knows... Maybe someone will pick up on the idea when the next anniversary comes around ;)Shameless crosspost (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43865.msg1592832#msg1592832).

One other thing, this Group Buy is history in the making. It is the first Novelty Keycap set using SA Row 3 profile that will feature PolyCarb keycaps with Glow-in-the-Dark legends. This has never been done before, but I am sure it'll be awesome! AFAIK there have never been any Poly Carbonate SA keycaps created to date. Very fun indeed.I'll be brave enough to admit I haven't played Fallout (so many things, so little time...), but I'm really intrigued to see how the glow-in-the-dark and polycarbonate works, and in SA family too totally seals the deal - I had to order some! Thanks for blazing (and intertwining!) this pair of trails! :D

I used to have a single (what I assume to be) polycarb SA cap from a grabbag:

CONGLATURATION !!!
The GB has closed with 254 sets purchased on the parent deal, pushing it well beyond the lowest possible price per unit ($3.37).
The Irradiated Vaults child deal has sold 102 sets, pushing the price down to $2.52.
The Nuclear Data Orange child deal has sold 50 sets, exactly enough to reduce the price to $3.33 per set.
The Rad Hard Yellow and Nuclear Data Green child deals sold 43 and 48 sets, respectively, meaning they remained at $5.28 per set at the closing bell, but still an admirable amount bought!
Big thanks to everyone involved and everyone who supported! Now the waiting game begins. :P

I kinda regret not buying the orange set now, it came out cooler than I imagined. Can't wait to see the glow in the dark ones in person.
Those ones especially look good. I believe the orange is the same as JDs Hack'd By Geeks set, I can't wait to put them together on a board.

Mine has just been sitting at USPS in Kent, WA since the 4th. Not sure what's going on with that.It's just USPS's ****ty tracking. They either haven't scanned it in a while or haven't uploaded the tracking data to the web site. If you call them they can probably give you a better idea where it is.
It'll show up soon, and then a day or two later the tracking will finally update and show DELIVERED. Like, no ****, thanks for nothing USPS. Happens to me all the time.
On a lighter note... Received my Series II caps on Saturday. They are amazing. I already have a few of them on my Dox and looking for other places to use them. :D

Mine has just been sitting at USPS in Kent, WA since the 4th. Not sure what's going on with that.It's just USPS's ****ty tracking. They either haven't scanned it in a while or haven't uploaded the tracking data to the web site. If you call them they can probably give you a better idea where it is.
It'll show up soon, and then a day or two later the tracking will finally update and show DELIVERED. Like, no ****, thanks for nothing USPS. Happens to me all the time.
On a lighter note... Received my Series II caps on Saturday. They are amazing. I already have a few of them on my Dox and looking for other places to use them. :D
Wow, the tracking really is ****ty. I recieved my package today even though it says that it is still in Los Angeles.
I'm not really that satisfied with the white legends on the GID caps, they didn't come out as bright as i hoped, but they are still very nice.

Seems like international tracking is not half bad:

GID mean Glow-in-the-Dark. That material is not white by nature, but a yellowish glassy color. But, if you put it under a blacklight, and it should shine...but, thank you for your feedback.

I just took a flashlight to see how they look charged up in the dark, and damn, they look wayyy better in the dark. Seems like a good excuse to buy a backlight keyboard!I'm not really that satisfied with the white legends on the GID caps, they didn't come out as bright as i hoped, but they are still very nice.Mine has just been sitting at USPS in Kent, WA since the 4th.

I'll try showing some different settings for those caps. Like mounted on a white LED, UV LEDs or just charging it to its maximum brightness with a blacklight. :P
I can't wait... ;D

UV LED underneath. I could see a whole board with keycaps like these working quite well to be honest.
Great work OOzeRO! :thumb:

Thanks for the shout out in the video. Just a heads up, my name on here is pronounced, Double-oh zero...like 007 but with a zero. Still cool, and by the way my Facebook account name is 000, so it all works out. I love how they look in the blacklight, shame they loose charge so fast when not illuminated...

. The yellows look awesome!

Got mine todayI think so as well, and I don't normally like yellow.
I am thinking that Series III with be free of any child deals, and will likely be one big novelty set introducing a couple of New Vegas keycaps. IC will be coming soon...in the meantime, which colors would you (anyone) like to see next time?

I think a big set is a great idea, something like 12 or 16 keys for a full top row split between 4 colour ways?
For colours, I think a OAS on GE or GX to match Hack'd By Geeks (https://ctrlalt.io/buys/hack-d-by-geeks) SA set (the geekhack theme).
