Thank you! Its safe to say, the community loved it. We got some press on the set, too. I think that helped bring in some buyers from outside of the mech community.

We will have a limited number of extras when the order ships. Stay tuned if you missed it.

Impressive! I missed this completely anyway.

If I have money when those extras go up I'll probably pick up base/alphas. Really unique.

My portion of the set that I ordered from zFrontier just arrived. Colors look great on everything  ;D

Strange that the alternate chinese vendor shipped out quicker than the main vendor tho, I'll be waiting for my base kit :x

If anyone also needs some ISO enters I have two extra ..

This was their update on 5/30:

“05/30/2018 Good news! Factory is packing up everyones order and getting ready to ship to me. They told me end of this week or early next week! Once they arrive shipping will happen VERY quickly. Extras will be made available to new customers once everyones order is fulfilled, not before. I am going to prepare a form to add extra child kits to your existing order so I can ship together. “


so should be soon, but zFrontier definitely got it earlier

zFrontier is preparing to ship my order to me. Hopefully will have it by the end of the week, early next. Because of the way they packed the orders, its going to be VERY expensive to ship to me. I decided against the cheaper method of sea transport and opted for air at great personal expense. The good news is that the orders are already packed up, so once they arrive all I need to do is slap on shipping labels (and open up some of them to inspect and add some Drifter themed TKC stickers.

Thanks for your continued patience.

May be jumping the gun here a little but what's the word on extras? I know on the site it  says that limited extras will be available once they ship to. Is that still looking like a possibility?

I ordered extra child kits, so Im going to probably open the raffle back up for a little bit once they ship. I feel bad for prematurely setting up the raffle in the first place; TBH I was inundated with emails "what about extras?" 10x a day. Didnt expect the factory to forget to send them... They tell me Ill have them by the end of the month. Ill post the raffle form here if I reopen it, as well as a link on my site. Make sure you sign up on the site for update (bottom of home page)

Hey everyone! You've been patiently waiting. 
 
Product Page Preview (https://thekey.company/collections/group-buys-current/products/dsa-drifter-restock)

Heres the details: 
We got our extras. Limited numbers. Never going to make this set again. 
The base mods and alpha kits are packed with together. I only have a very limited number of alpha only kits.   
 
GB participants who entered the raffle have been invoiced. If you didnt get an invoice, check your spam filters, the email came from orders@thekey.company. You have until tomorrow at noon to complete your order. 
 
Part of the stock is going to people who entered the "big raffle". Please, make sure orders@thekey.company (http://MAILTO:ORDERS@THEKEY.COMPANY) isnt going to your spam, or you wont get your invoice. Those will be going out next week. 
 
Lastly, we are going to periodically add stock to the site at random times. The only way to know when those times are is to: 
A. Put your F5 key to the test! 
B. Sign up (https://thekey.company/pages/sign-up) to the site and we will send out emails giving our subscribers first dibs on the inventory. We will announce on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/thekey.company/) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TheKeyDOTcompany/), too, so be sure to follow us.   
 
Good luck everyone! Thanks for reading.   
 
**TL;DR Drifter extras are in. Only way to know when they'll be available is to Sign up (https://thekey.company/pages/sign-up) or break your F5 key.**

So, I just recently noticed an issue with one of my kits, only just because I was using standard space for a while. For some reason, I received 6u spacebars instead of 7u spacebars in my compatibility kit. Was this issue prevalent? This effectively like it's the number of boards I can use this on to just one.
