Post by: petereps on Wed, 23 July 2014, 10:20:16: I know what the hashbang is, but could anyone fill me in on what the duck means? Sorry for the dumb question!

Post by: DanielT on Wed, 23 July 2014, 11:38:08: The duck is an insider thingy on DT forum related to an important user ;) Other than that is a cool design, if you have 2 ducks on your keyboard everyone will say "what the.... is with that duck" :P
This set is for coolness factor :thumb:

how do you get a 1 .5 duck?
I'm really tempted but it's like $60 if I get one kit of each color.
I don't need hashbangs, anyone want to split? You take #! I take ducks.

Contact Facetsesame! He is offering deals on split kits like that. Message him on GH or DT. Tab (1.5) is not going to be available for this round, but possibly in the future!

I'm glad all mine tipped 8) . But you need to wait for the other GB's coming down the line for us desperate addicts here. More shall come and we shall be showered in ABS goodness for years to come.

Post by: Pyrelink on Wed, 06 August 2014, 21:23:33: Yeah.. Probably overstated that "until the end of time" part. I am sure there will be plenty more group buys that I will sink my soul into.

Glad you got your kits. Just proves that promoting over here on GH was well worth it, as we couldn't have done it without yours and Taylorcraig's orders ;)

Now we wait and place bets on whether we will see these or Round 5 in our mailbox first...

Post by: facetsesame on Sat, 20 September 2014, 17:22:15: Shipping notices have been sent out by SP! So if we're lucky, the US buyers may see their caps later this coming week...

I'll have to wait a little longer for mine, but will post pics when I have them.

Some extra Extras should be available, if you're interested please PM me!

Title: Re: [GB] Honey Sphericals Extras (Now Shipping!) Extra Extras Available!
Post by: facetsesame on Mon, 13 October 2014, 17:26:02: Hi all,

Sorry I haven't been active with this. As you may have seen by now, SP manufactured the #! keys as row 3 and not row 1.

To compensate for the error, replacement row 1 keys have been sent out for free. These keys should now have all shipped.

However, the legend tooling for the row 1 keys was remade on a different machine by SP.
This has created a much bolder looking legend than the original, which was design to blend in with SP's standard Gorton Modified font.

The #! key in the middle is the row 3 key with the original legend. The surrounding keys are the replacement row 1 keys with the modified legend.
[attachimg=1]
Sorry about the quality, I've only had these a few days and haven't been able to shoot them in daylight yet.

I was disappointed with the changed legend at first, but without the context it's distinctive and I like it. IMO it looks a lot better in person too.

When prompted by SP after I reported this a few days ago, I asked if it was feasible to remake the Row 1 keys and I haven't received a response.

As nobody seems to be unhappy with the result, unless many of you have been keeping quiet with your complaints (please let me know!), I will probably leave it there.

If you have any comments - or any pics of your keys - I'd love to hear from you.

p.s. As I now have the keys on hand, Extra Extras will be available shortly!
Title: Re: [GB] Honey Sphericals Extras (Now Shipping!) Extra Extras Available!
Post by: facetsesame on Tue, 14 October 2014, 16:58:20: I haven't had any new comments on the row 1 #! legend either here or on DT.

Since I have no tangible mandate to press for remanufactured row 1 keys, I will advise SP to discard my enquiry - I'm sure they've already done so anyway.

I expect the original #! legend will remain lost, but if it is reordered in a future GB I would consider paying the legend fee for it to be remade.
