All sold out.

If you missed out, Pound F5 for a while, as if I discover any cheaters, (one already turned himself in) then there will be bots coming back for sale.

May be a dumb question, but may I ask how many were made of each color?

It's a 50/50 mix of metal and plastic to get the coloring seen according to the man himself.

I'm betting the cheater caps will stick around a little longer as most of the people that missed first run are all probably doing things away from the keyboard.  Like sobbing uncontrollably.  Or having lunch.

It's only happened twice that I can think of, possibly three times and this was the last with this mold style. 24-30 seems right as to the amount of keys sold each time.
