[GB] Out of the Vault: Inspired by Fallout – Vault 13 - SA Row 3 (Shipped!)

[00zeRO]

Many nextgen console gamers around the world know about Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas; but many of us old school Pentium gamers remember back when 16 MB of RAM was the norm. This keycap commemorates the original game, Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game from the early 90′s. It is first in a series of Fallout-inspired keycaps and features the same Doubleshot SA Row 3 profile as the current Nuclear Data Group Buy set. Whether you purchase this single ‘cap to serve as a contrasting Blue/Yellow novelty addition to Samwisekoi and Matt3o’s awesome keycap Nuclear Data set, or as a stand alone feature to any mx compatible keyboard, this keycap will give your ‘board that post-apocalyptic look!

ABS color codes:

YY – Yellow ABS
BFK – Blue ABS







With this single keycap opening at the low low price of $1.50, you may just want to grab a hand full.

[SpAmRaY]

MOQ of 100?? What's the price it isn't listed?

I was told $1.50 each

MOQ of 100?? What's the price it isn't listed?

It appears we are having some technical difficulties. Word to the wise, if there is ever a problem with an image, let SP handle it from their end...

It appears I'm the first.

I am glad we were able to get the pricing fixed...

zero, are you... me?!

You forgot Borderlands, too.

In truth, I can't be you since I don't live in Italy...

I do wish to ask a favor: can you help me promote my keycap since the marketing group with PMK is unable to, plus it is closely tied with you and Samwisekoi's set, as in it will end the same day...

You forgot Borderlands, too.

Borderlands is likely going to be a bust since Gearbox Software made it clear that anything even resembling their stuff will garner a lawsuit...

[taylordcraig]

That's okay. BL sucks.
Bought five of these to get the ball rolling.

sure! not sure what I could do to promote though

So, I'm guessing that having a high moq might just win...I love it.

[00zeRO]

Call me nostalgic, but I miss the point and click of it all. Remember the roulette tables back then?:



Course now, they look like this:



My, how things have changed...

[00zeRO]

And then there are the cute, cuddly Deathclaws then:



And now:

Just give me my gatling laser and everything will be fine.

Op, how about a 'The Elder Scrolls' cap?

And the link is timing out when I click it

yes, the pmk link. It times out on mobile but not on my pc :gotme:

[libraryatnight]

I'm in on this one, super cool. I, too, miss the old isometric rpg style fallout. Not that these new ones aren't great, just miss the old style.

[JaccoW]

I'm just not entirely happy about the $9.76 shipping for international. Let me think about this. I don't have the funds to buy something else like Nuclear Data.

I have been told that they combine shipping if you would like to buy more than one to split with friends...

[Oobly]

MOQ was set to high... too many people starting GB's on PMK without asking the experienced guys for advice / coordinating their IC and GB starting times.

I really want a couple of these, but you're going to have to lower MOQ and raise the price to get them to tip.

I plan on buying up the remainder to make it tip...after failing at two with low MOQ and high prices, I have changed my strategy a bit.

Okay. I'll help out by ordering 5   (as soon as they fix the "forgot my password" function so I can log in)

[00zeRO]

For those wondering about sizing and shape, a few images for your consideration:

Row 3

And then as far as overall look:



Think Blue/Yellow instead of Green/White.

[00zeRO]

Something like this:



But it will be the single 1x1 keycap...and the blue may be darker...

With login issues I had much success pm'ing this guy http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=33080

[00zeRO]

We are 1/4 of the way there...

[00zeRO]

So, I'm playing New Vegas and it is cool to see places come up from the first Fallout game like Hub. It's also neat to hear about the Crimson Caravan again...

[Oobly]

Got my login working (thanks for the tip, SpAmRaY) and ordered 5. Will be great if these tip. I really want one to go with my Nuclear Data Green set.

[00zeRO]

31 up, 69 to go...Woot woot!

 

[00zeRO]

Let's roll the dice with Vault Boy!

[00zeRO]

Op, how about a 'The Elder Scrolls' cap?

Maybe...I will post an interest thread for it at some point. My familiarity with the Elder Scrolls is somewhat limited. Like, I know Daggerfall and Morrowind, and some of Oblivion but as for Skyrim, I only have the Mash-up on Minecraft for Xbox 360.

[Matt3o]

there you go http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61198.msg1458018#msg1458018

[00zeRO]

Awesome...thanks!

[00zeRO]

Update: 40/100...

60 more to go!

 

[Elrick]

I just bought into these babies ONLY because you mentioned SA PROFILE  .

Too late for me now, anything with the words "SA Profile" and my wallet falls down, opening itself to anything connected to this obscene profile  .

Who knows, I may create more in the SA profile in the future. I would rather see a novelty keycap that is completely different, than to have a DCS keycap that only barely matches OEM profile. We will see how they turn out.

48 bought, 52 to go! At only $1.44 per keycap it can be done!

Strike that, reverse it:

52 with 48 to go!

[00zeRO]

Only 6 days left to get in on this action. In the meantime, a profound statement from the Legion's master in New Vegas:



I wonder if the developer's really thought about this one?  )

[00zeRO]

This one is har-larious:

[00zeRO]

Old school cut scene:

[00zeRO]

I bet if we offered this as a giveaway for the most keycaps purchased, we could sell a whole lotta 'caps!:

[00zeRO]

Update...

54 up and 46 to go before this thing tips...

The success of this group buy will determine the future of Fallout keycapness

I want to buy the remainders but 46 of them is a bit much.

[iamtootallforthis]

I want this to tip

[00zeRO]

Looks like we did the impossible...either there was some generous entrepreneur out there, or there was a fast run on these, but they have tipped ladies and gentlemen...woot!

My first successfull GB...

After taking many knocks on the chin, I have finally arrived at selling one design! 

[Data]

Congrats triple-ought!

And congrats us for more awesome key caps!

[00zeRO]

Congrats triple-ought!

And congrats us for more awesome key caps!

You were the first to believe in the power of Vault 13!

[00zeRO]

Update: 128 up, next stop is 150. This will cause a price drop from $1.44 to $1.11.

Come on, 150!

 

[Oobly]

Gratz 00ZerO!!

These are going to look great on my Nuclear Data Green board!

[chrisq]

Got 10 to support the cause!

[bianco]

just ordered!

[00zeRO]

I will likely start an IC thread regarding future Fallout keycaps but...

I am considering all future Fallout themed Novelty keycaps to be SA Row 3 in support of people's existing Nuclear Data set.

Good idea, or bad idea?

Also, I have taken some criticism for the color difference. All Vault # keycaps will feature the Yellow on Blue in memory of the jumpsuits worn throughout the franchise. If other color choices are desired, I don't mind posting them as variants I suppose. My concern at this point is whether or not I will be able to get three digits inside the Vault 'sprocket.' I know that Melissa @ SP will help with that...

[DanielT]

Congratulations  This single key GB kicked ass  Great job

Finally, a win. It only took three tries...lol

Id it really copyrighted though, it's such a generic 50s character.

[AKmalamute]

Id it really copyrighted though, it's such a generic 50s character.

I'd say he's highly recognizable. So, not so much a copyright as a registered trademark. Now, Popeye in the same pose, that _might_ work. Although he's more a '40s char but still.

Hmm. Maybe you could talk to Overmare Studios about a pipbuck-pony key? Same overall feel but a quadrupedal female form of vaultboy. Or are fans of FoE too much of a niche market?

FoE?

[AKmalamute]

FoE?

Fallout: Equestria , a crossover fanfiction that has inspired hundreds of fan-fiction writers. Tens of millions of words exist across the varies works describing the place, and numerous Fallout-3 & Fallout-NV mods exist to make the game seem more pony-like.

Not at all interested in branching into that world...

[00zeRO]

Thank you to everyone for a successful Group Buy. Looks like we all get them for 95 cents each!!! How cool is that! Seriously, it has been awesome.

 

[Data]

That's freakin cool. 

[00zeRO]

That's freakin cool. 

Watch for future GB's featuring the same Profile and Row height. Series II will likely be SA Row 3 as well.

[SpAmRaY]

honestly when I first saw 100 I was like no way.....good to know it got twice that many orders! congrats on your first tipped buy.

[kalrand]

I actually think single key, or small set, group buys might have an easier time tipping than the full keysets.

[chrisq]

I actually think single key, or small set, group buys might have an easier time tipping than the full keysets.

Agreed. The key being only ~$1 made it a lot easier for me to order 10 of them than a set for ~$100...

[00zeRO]

Just emailed SP to see if they are still on schedule to have these babies shipping today...no final word just yet...

Kant weight~

[SpAmRaY]

If we ordered these with the nuclear green data caps won't they just ship them together?

[AKmalamute]

If we ordered these with the nuclear green data caps won't they just ship them together?

I emailed asking about combined shipping, because they were a 'related' product, and Melissa replied that, no since they're separate projects they'll have separate shipping times / costs.

So, since it's just one key, it may well ship sooner.

[Oobly]

And... they're on their way

I'll probably put one on my board as soon as they arrive even if it doesn't match... as a placeholder until Nuclear Data arrives and takes over the whole board.

[00zeRO]

I got my baker's dozen! Check it out!:

[Data]

Mine should be delivered today.
