Its that time of year again!
Is Signature Plastics going to make my dreams come true and offer them up again?
-
I thought you were announcing the grab bags and I got very excited for a moment. :(
-
Changed the title!!!
-
Ah first I was excited, now I'm kinda let down =[
-
With USPS international shipping fees having gone up, it would make crap bags even less enticing for those of us not in CONUS.

Not exactly enticing for those in the US either.

Every year these things come up and I debate it
And I don't know why
What use do I have for all of these keys?

Why...Unicorn Vomit layouts of course. :thumb:

That loses its appeal the first time you try it with a crap bag.

They say it will be available on march 11th :)

I love the idea of opening a bag and never knowing what might be in there. It's sort of like buying key cap lottery tickets. Unfortunately I don't think anything in the bags is worth very much on its own, so it's less of a treasure hunt and more of a blind box gotta catch 'em all Pokemans obsession. :))
I still have 3 1/2 bags to sort through I just bought from various GH members, but I will buy more of these anyway. I think I am more in to key caps than keyboards.
-
Just checked the site, but no joy. I wonder when they'll be available today.
-
Office hours seem to be Monday-Thursday 8 to 4:30. But that is office hours I don't know if that's the same as store hours.

Already out of stock, or have they not been updated yet?

Duh... I didn't even consider that they're PST, so they open at 10:00 a.m. in my timezone.
Edit: They're up now! ;D

Just snagged 1! Guess this means I should grab the clueboard switch tester I was eyeing up.

Mine is on the way :) $19 shipping hurts, but it is 3 pounds lol

I don't understand the prices. It should be $13.45 for a medium, flat-rate box.

I'm in WA, only 1.5 hours away and shipping was still 9ish dollars. I got two sets! Hopefully I get atleast a few peculiar/unique keycaps

I would love to have one of those 2x2 caps, like the green one in the second pic.

You guys complaining about shipping? How does $49.03 sound?

Yea, same price to the UK. I'm not willing to pay more money for shipping than the bag, although it would've been nice! It's a pass from me.
-
That was quick...they are now out of stock.

Sadly yes:( i wanted one but not for 85$ with shipping.. could buy a full set for that price.
-
I don't think they have as many now as they used to.
A small part might be the number of people buying them, but I suspect their manufacturing techniques have improved sufficiently that there are less and less defective keys, and hence less crap bags.
Please post pictures of what was in your bag, if you were able to snag one :)
-
Just got a shipping notice! I hope they arrive tomorrow since I'm only 1.5 hours away.
Looks like they'll have grab bags up tomorrow as well if anyone else is interested.
-
Just in time for the weekend, quick glance at the two bags looks like I got some Retro SA, Carbon SA, a bunch of random G20, DSA Eve, and POS keycaps. Will sort them out tonight and post pics!
-
It will be interesting to see if anyone has any really good nuggets therein.
Maybe expecting a few Sadsters due to the not-so-long-ago run.

I've been seeing a boatload of jukebox modifiers, which is pretty sweet IMO.

I am really sad I wasn't paying close enough attention and missed this, AGAIN

Some of the recent sales were on:
26-Jan-2012
10-Dec-2012
30-Jul-2013
26-Feb-2014
02-Sep-2015
17-Oct-2015
Although the last two might have just been different posts about the same thing.
So it looks like end of year and middle of year, maybe, and probably depends on how many reject keycaps they have to go around.

Bring these back!!

The Grab Bags are coming back. Keep a watch on the status page. No date yet, but here's the latest:
Grab Bags A few 'hot keys' in the next round, but they will come at a higher price TBD.
Anyone with an idea what the "hot" keys are? :p

Probably something rare or desirable. A Hapster or two, maybe? A few specials that were not available for separate purpose perhaps.
