i'm going to make an educated guess here:

someone in this thread is a) the source of these keys
                                   b) lying

As my buddies and me used to say on the playground, he who smelt it dealt it.

How did you get 2?

I don't know. I thought everybody got 2. 486 got 5!!
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33029.msg629994#msg629994

I didn't say I had five. I was saying I want one. I don't have any yet.
You misunderstood me.
However If I get one, I'll know exactly who it is. I have only ever given my address to one person.

SP screwed it up.

Can anyone recall when SP didn't screw something up? Any company should want to ensure their company stays profitable, and that would include better quality control. This is
something SP severely lacks. Time and time again, they go through an entire production run just to realize they f**ked up. It's a damn shame they have no competition, as it
might motivate them to suck less.

The best way to utilize SP is with individual runs of a small set of keys.

With the massive orders, they DO tend to run into issues.

Good one, Dorkvader. Once again, the "who smelt it, dealt it" axiom holds true.

What does the design represent?

Hilarious thread! Did someone outside the US except taeyoug get something? Seems logical, unless mister x wants to save on shipping. Well, we should know in about a month. :D

Tsangan using stamps because his PayPal issue and mad connections all over the world.

The same Tsangan not having money for shipping has money for ordering keys from SP? Nah. :3
