During the morning of Nov. 16, 2015, I had a brief email conversation with Ivan directly regarding the status of this group buy. With his permission I am reposting the information.

The order began production a couple weeks ago and is still in production. Declining to mention/commit to a definite timeline, he did mention a couple more months for production and transit time.

So an update for you guys.

I hope that does a bit to settle some curiosity regarding this group buy.

Enjoy!

Is there any update on this? I sent a PM to Ivan yesterday and haven't heard anything yet. I saw that on December 4th he posted updates for his keycap GBs saying things were still in the works and to not send Paypal disputes.

Quote from: IvanIvanovich on Fri, 04 December 2015, 16:32:37

Sorry I have not been around for awhile.

I just would like to let you know things are still in the works. Please be patient. Sometimes things can take longer than what was initially expected.

If you can PLEASE stop initiating paypal disputes I would really appreciate it. I simply don't have the money to be refunding everyone as it is tied up in product.
If you have an urgent inquiry, please simply send an email. Starting paypal disputes to send a question is not helpful.
THANKS.

Does the same apply for this GB? If this GB isn't happening I would like to be able to participate in Whitefox GB, but I cannot commit the funds to Whitefox while this GB is still in limbo. I don't mind the waiting but this GB could really use an actual update.

I wonder if people still believe Ivan will come in and miraculously fix everything. I'm surprised nobody has commented after finding out he never sent an order in.

I have sent him forum PMs and emails with no response over the months. I think this is abandoned and would like my money back after this news.

"I do not know what the ETA is on that buy, only that it is in production." Is the message I received from him on 2/3/16 in an email chain regarding the status of the GB. If this is in fact bull****, please let us know Ivan.

BaconEggandCheeseBagel · « **Reply #187 on:** Tue, 15 March 2016, 09:49:10 »

Not a part of this GB, but if the guy who designs and producers the RS is coming in here saying that he never received payment and thus never started production, I don't think you need the person who is more than likely lying to come in here to tell you that he is not, in fact, lying...

That message was an attempt to inform the participants of this GB (not you) that I was lied directly to thru an email. Thanks for your smartass remark though.

Wasn't meant to be a smartass remark! Sorry it came off that way - I misconstrued what you were trying to imply through your post. :-/

So do people that are actually participating in this buy have any form of recourse? I have sent a Paypal dispute, but the dispute does not show up in the Resolution Center for my account...I believe since the transaction was back in July 2015 and was more than 180 days there might be nothing Paypal can do. Anybody have any experience in this?

If you paid with a credit card or bank and not paypal balance you can call your credit card company or bank and dispute the charge directly regardless if it has been past 180 days. Some credit card companys after a 190 day period will require you to fill out some quick paper work then mail it to them, but regardless they will help you get your money back.

It be great to get some input from the Mods, maybe HoffmanMyster? Is there any positive confirmation that this buy is boned other than the lack of order for Miami Nights?

I reached out to Ivan last night when things started getting shaky (before the news was posted in the GMK buy thread), to A) verify he is alive and well and B) follow up with a direct inquiry as to the status of these three buys. I did receive an email back from him last night (I mistakenly said in the GMK buy that he had not responded, which is not true - I didn't see his response at the time) and he said all is fine but he is not active much (I had not asked about the buys at this point). I have responded asking very pointedly for an update re: lack of orders placed. No word yet, but I will update as I can.
