The raffle is still going on, we wanted to do the raffle closer to color sampling.

Do you have an expected timeline for sampling, approval, manufacturing, and delivery to vendors?

Colors are set in stone and production is going on at this time.


Edit: By production, I mean we are about to start production soon. I will post samples when I receive them.

I'm sure Mcnos is doing everything he can to ensure the manufacturer is getting the color right. It would be best for all of us to patiently wait and let the man do his thing. If this somehow extends over 6 months and you no longer feel like a part of it, just hit me up and I'll buy your spot to save all the potential drama.

I have been in contact with Zf and while I have nothing to do with this GB, just wanted to give a quick update for everyone.

Arctic is currently finishing up the color matching process. After that it will begin production right away. No real timeline, but just a ROUGH guess would be these should be completed around middle of May.

Thanks Mike, you are correct. This is the stage we are at for this time. CNY and other situations have put us behind schedule and I apologise for the delay.

I'm not happy with R1 samples so I am having them re-do.

@Mcnos,

Any chance you could show us how the R1 came out? Any photos?! I understand if changes are going to happen to the colors/legends but I am just chomping at the bit to see how these are starting to look!

Totally understand if you don't want to share because it was that far off, but I just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. 

Appreciate your hard work on this gorgeous set. <3

Keep in mind, that the color is being re-done and JTK was using different pantone materials than what I have on hand.

I am working to get this completely correct.

So the gray is giving you a hard time? What about the blue accents and white alphas?

The white should be the same as Hana. I like the purity of it.

As for the gray, it should be an easy fix

The blue-gray is the challenge.

Mcnos,

Just curious because I am unfamiliar with these types of delays. I totally agree that making sure it is right is more important than speed, but do you have a new ETA for when this amazing set will be in our hands?

I have an ice-themed board just waiting for these caps so that it can finally be posted on /r/mk. :P

Most likely you'll receive an email, if you bought arctic, to enter the raffle for the chance to buy an artisan. Limited keys so not everyone will get to buy one.
