[GB] Polaris - GB Complete

[santela]

Good to hear there will be extras, although I might get in on Vega first if that happens before the Polaris extra units.

[Fredington]

Is there a plate file? And where could I get an FR4 plate cut?

Is there my Polaris? I can't find my Polaris... Let's try to ship it to my country using my mail forwarder in USA. Hope the last undelivered Polaris will be delivered through the all difficulties to its owner.

Or, if my suffering is as endless as anxiety, my Polaris doesn't exist in my reality, and so my existence is not valid.

I just have given up.

Lets see what there will be.

Polaris Extras, Batch 2 Announcement

This is the second and final batch of Polaris extras.
There will be roughly 300 units total, making it a bit larger than a typical batch of extras.
Cases are newly manufactured to match the carefully refinished weights.

Colorways are the following:
- E-white case, e-black weight
- E-black case, e-white weight

The reason for so few colors and all-ecoat is the following:
- Very few units into many colors = lots of wasted ecoat vat, terrible for environment.
- E-coat can be done fast, meaning the extras will arrive much sooner.

Plates will be full poly universal, putting typing comfort and uniformity first.
The case will be available in WKL and corner blocker variants (the certain happy layout, avoiding using the commonly used term from now on for the sake of trademarks and whatnot).
We are hoping to get this out by early 2021 before Chinese New Year in mid-February. As usual, this is just a typical ETA that can get pushed back, so do take it with a grain of salt.

Exciting news! Any word on pricing?

Also any pictures of e-black? I've seen e-white many times before but I'm not familiar with e-black.

Yes! Can finally try and get my hands on one! Where will it be available? KBD?

[mrvco]

Same question.

[krautcat]

Good news, everyone.

The last undelivered Polaris from groupbuy in the whole world have been delivered to Russia today.

Bad news: it has universal polycarbonate plate instead of WKL.

I hate KBDFans so much.

Even if you take the scalpers out of the equation it's a hugely popular board (and for good reason) at a very competitive price for the quality it delivers. Add the aftermarket price into the equation and you'll be lucky to get one at all let alone two. Your best bet would be order a black one and then post a trade for your weight with someone else's.

order a black one and then post a trade for your weight with someone else's.

I'm sure there will be plenty of e-white owners who will be looking to do the same. It's worth looking into.

Polaris Extras Batch 2 Announcement

Quick overview: 300 units, 355 USD, 3/29 19:00 PST at KBDfans.


Detailed:

As announced before, these units will be available in the following configuration(s):
- Winkeyless or corner-blocker (the certain happy layout),
- E-white + E-black weight or E-black + E-white weight,
- Locked to polycarbonate universal plate.

Price is noticeably higher than before due to two main reasons:
- Material price increase (metals have gone up around 35% in cost compared to last year),
- Conversion rates from RMB to USD skyrocketing.

Units will be listed at KBDfans' storefront at 3/29 19:00 PST (3/30 10:00 Beijing time).

All sales are final, for these are extras and more units can't be produced as a replacements margin. We've done our best to QC these to high standards, but do keep this in mind if you are particularly sensitive to imperfections.

Once these units are sold, the Polaris group buy will be fully concluded.




Edit: Sold out; GB complete.
