If the GB is launching THAT soon how long will we have to pay invoices? I'm going to a convention next week and that's going to be a drain on finances until I get paid the week after... I'd rather not have to let go of my V1 until after I have my V3!

You can't catch everyone

Maybe 6PM would work better, as it'd be 11PM in the UK, midnight for most of Europe, 1AM for the rest of Europe, 6AM for west AU and 8AM for east.

I'm from east and 8 AM is perfectly okay for me. Even if it's 3 on the morning, it's a Lightsaver.

Really hope quantity is increased so more keyboard lover will have chance to get in!

it doesnt matter when you run it, if people want it that badly then they'll put an alarm on during the night

When Elton talked about posting the time of the sale, I thought this. People certainly seem to be caught up on it though.

Given the hype, a limited GB of 1000 lightsavers should cover it 👌

Some people have things to attend during the day, such as work.

You have to take into account that some area will be during the middle of the day or night no matter what time it starts... Asking for it to be a convenient time for anyone other than the person running the GB seems like an exercise in futility to me.

Cut the discussion short and tell us the GB date!

Limit 1 per person should go without saying. There are so many people that want this, it isn't right to allow people to profit off reselling extras.

Been on the IC for a while and seeing all the interest that came after me, I cam only cross my fingers on getting one.

@elton5354

If the viper GB was any indication then there will be 100 units available? You could split the slots up in batches if you want to try to make it a little more "fair" for people in other time zones. Or raffle. Personally I'm on the raffle train.

Elton has a system that's allowed him to ship many GBs. Please stop spamming the thread with your ideas about alternate systems. It isn't going to change anything. It's just noise

Why can't the maker just fulfil everyone's needs by producing them in batches? I know it takes a lot of time and stuff like that. However at those prices, I'd imagine this approach would be profitable while eliminating the enormous amount of disappointments.

It is a lot of work and time to run group buys and keeping it limited causes less headache and issues for the GB runner. This is the third iteration of this particular board so I would expect there will eventually be a fourth if people think they are going to miss out on this.
