Didn't pick the Abductor but now I wish I had. Reminds me of the pirate robot from Dragon Ball.

Thanks everyone for your support and participation in the giveaway. I will update you on the results in a few days.

whizzard · « **Reply #63 on:** Wed, 15 July 2015, 12:55:20 »

Hey everyone, just a little update. The winners have .. well... won. Right now I just need to get estimates on international shipping and contact those from outside USA that won a key. Once everything is set I will let everyone know. I don't want to send out keys until I know everyone is good with shipping fees and all that just in case it changes who gets what. I think most of you will be happy. I was interested to see what keys were chosen the most, it will help me in figuring out what to cast more of next time.

In other news, my new 3D printer had a part break. And this after I spent a good part of two days modeling my newest design idea. All I needed was one print so I could hit it with some clay and putty detailing and make the prototype... but isn't that how it goes sometimes. So I am waiting to hear from the company so I can send it out for a warranty repair. I am going to try making the same design using standard sculpture though. It is pretty neat, it is modeled after a 1960s-70's Russian Cosmonaut helmet.

Anyhow... I will get the invoices out to the international winners within the next day or so, hoping to ship everything by next Monday. Shouldn't be too much to ship, like 7-10 dollars or so each due to the small light package. I will update soon.

catdogpaw · « **Reply #64 on:** Wed, 15 July 2015, 13:00:05 »

Thanks for the update, whizzard!

I hope that those who participated in the giveaway (and didn't win) get first dibs to buy the caps when you offer them for sale!

TastaturenAuslese · « **Reply #65 on:** Wed, 15 July 2015, 13:22:26 »

Congrats to the winners ! Is everyone contacted individually or is there a post showing who won what?

whizzard · « **Reply #66 on:** Wed, 15 July 2015, 13:25:39 »

I can do that for you guys once I send out the info to the internationals, only fair really

*edit: I will contact you with a pm to keep people's privacy

I would let you know what you won, but it actually depends on if everyone that is international decides they want a key. If you wanted an ice cube, I am trying to get them to everyone international that picked one.. because I have a few of each I should have plenty but just to be sure. If you picked Abductor, Punisher, Angry, then I can't garauntee you will get that exact key .. but as I said I am doing my best to get everyone what they wanted. If you get the key and are completely unhappy with it, I will refund the shipping fee.

I want everyone to be happy, but it isn't always possible. But I am going to do my best

**edit: Just for clarity... I already have everyone's rankings and roll scores figured out, but if an INT winner drops out, it will change it all up.

lolpes · « **Reply #79 on:** Fri, 17 July 2015, 12:35:02 »

You can just send me all my pics and then I'll be very happy

I picked the ice cubes first so hope I get one

you did a wonderfull job with the caps and the giveaway, couldn't be happier

so congrats to you, and to everyone that won

Highest roll was a 34... and the invoices were not sent out in winning order, just the order of my inbox from the giveaway. There were also 3 ties, and I had to do tiebreaker roll offs. Lowest roll was a 5, and wins the weird donkey key.

*edit: in the future, I think I will keep track and if someone ties, just re-roll.

catdogpaw · « **Reply #83 on:** Fri, 17 July 2015, 13:11:43 »

Got a PM too! This was a fun raffle, whizzard. I'm excited to see what I get in the mail

whizzard · « **Reply #84 on:** Fri, 17 July 2015, 13:20:23 »

You guys are quick! Already have half the invoices paid.

Just a note on INT shipping... the amount I sent was made using a shipping calculator and the estimate of 5oz. If the shipping goes any lower I will refund everyone the difference. If it goes higher don't worry about it.

mason · « **Reply #85 on:** Fri, 17 July 2015, 13:21:17 »

I can't wait until these arrive, I'll make sure to post pictures

whizzard · « **Reply #86 on:** Fri, 17 July 2015, 14:09:09 »

Thanks everyone, I am really happy to see all your excitement! I hope the keys live up to it

Just as a reminder, I am using the shipping address you sent me in the entry email and not your paypal registered addresses. Everyone sent their addresses in the mail so it shouldn't be a problem but I want to be clear.

Unless we discussed a change in shipping or whatever, as long as you put the right address in your entry email, everything should go smoothly. And I am glad so many of you are in on the ground floor of this little project, and if for any reason you aren't happy with what you get.. send me a PM when you get it and I will do what I can to make ya happy. I called it an "ALPHA" giveaway because it is my first foray into this sort of thing but it seems to be going pretty smoothly. Hopefully I don't mess much up

Most invoices are already paid, and I will start putting together the packages tonight. I am hoping to send them all out to the world on Monday. I will keep ya all updated.

I deleted the giveaway pic when I cleared out the top post. In case anyone was curious or trying to remember what they requested, here it is:

*edit: interesting note: The top key picked other than ice cubes was "H" the green/purple abductor

So the ice cubes were the most picked? That surprises me, but now you know what the people want

Those were my third and second choices respectively - hopefully that means no-one else wanted the awesome orange Abductor! Why did I go for an ice cube over the orange Angry though?!

Lol the donkey key is just as I said it would be... random, strange and esoteric. I think it is funny how people are rooting to have the low roll just for it.

Now to an update. Since the OEM style of ice cubes were coveted in the giveaway, (even though I think the high profile are cool too) I might craft a couple extra just so every winner who picked either "O" or "P" as their first or second choice will get what they want. Unless they give me problems (they have before.. hard to get them with no errors) it shouldn't delay things and I can have them ready for shipping Monday. If it does I will let you all know.

Reason I want to do this is to make more of ya happy... I don't see why this should be an issue. Even if it takes a day or two longer, I think it is worth it for everyone to get what they asked for.

Good news is after I figured out who gets what, 95 percent of ya got either your first or second pick.

Good news, the molds for the few extra ice cubes is coming out great! (I forgot the other molds broke due to a mistake of mine so I needed a new one)... I wouldn't be able to do this for the Abductor, Punisher, Angrys, because those keys take over 24 hours "in the oven" as I think of it, plus each key takes at least a half hour of finish work. Luckily, the ice cubes are pretty fast and is more of getting the formula right to get a good key.

So we are still on schedule.

Yea the double / tripleshot keys are a real labor of love, takes a lot of time and you can waste an entire day on a key that duds out. The ice cubes really come down to how fast I can work and make no mistakes, hard to explain but not quite as much time and difficulty. Yeah, right now I am enjoying it, hope I continue to! I just wish my 3D printer didn't break because I was going to make a really sweet key using that and some hand sculpting.

I RMA'd it should be a week or two to get it back fixed.

ironpup · « **Reply #98 on:** Sat, 18 July 2015, 16:49:41 »

Love your work, they're all so cool, especially the angrys, and the fact that you're giving some away makes them that much cooler

I think another really cool thing you can do is add some stuff into the ice cubes like glitter (as you know it's all the rage rn) or maybe just a little bit a dye to make very subtlety dyed, trans caps

whizzard · « **Reply #99 on:** Sun, 19 July 2015, 05:15:35 »

Thanks everyone for your positive words, it makes me feel more confident going forward. It can be hard to share your work with strangers, especially here where quality is so important. Putting out your personal art work can be a little stressful, but you all have been very kind and supportive. This is still an "Alpha" project but it is moving right along. Really fun little hobby to have. I am casting the last few extra caps so most all of you should be happy with what you end up winning from the giveaway.

I have gotten a few messages asking about donating a couple bucks to the project... if you would like to donate, the paypal email is:

Anything donated will be folded back into the project itself. This of course is completely optional, and any support is of course appreciated. I have never taken a donation before, but I think just sending to that address should work.

I will let you know if there are any delays on shipping out the giveaway caps, thanks!
