Invoices will be sent out through GB time

Does this mean "throughout" or "after GB ends"? In any case, if I place my order on Feb 15th I have the full day of Feb 20th to pay for this, yes?

I'm considering black and brass, a retro board with minimal colors sounds like a good option. :)

Correct, "through" GB period.

Why is that grey looks blue-ish to me? And that blue looks more like a hydro blue?

Same here. I thought the gray case was actually the same blue color as GMK Yuri mods until I realized that was GMK Carbon in the pictures instead.

Is there any sort of MOQ on the black? or will it be made no matter what?

Aaaahhhhhh !! Finally changed my mind from gray to dark red. I will use my Grade SA instead of GMK laser, I have been totally convinced by the look of the MSX YC-64  ;D

This would avoid me to get gray again  :))

I think the invoice will be made at the end of the preorder, around 15th of February.

Just paid both of my invoices. Really looking forward to getting these.

Maybe this has been answered before, but can I ask about how they will be packed? Will they be in custom-cut foam, or just packed with standard materials? I think that the first option is a more robust choice. Just want to make sure that they’ll be safe when sent internationally.

OP said they will send everyone their invoices throughout the GB period. Probably in order and probably slowly but you'll get one eventually. Two users have commented since your question saying they've received and paid the invoice.

Oh god. That's really carbon! oh well, no navy blue to match my Yuri then.. probably have to pass this time.

Anyone else going for brown? 
I'd be interested to see the lighter brown of this GB vs the darker brown.
I don't think I've *ever* seen anything offered in brown before. 
I feel like it's going to look absolutely BONKERS with GMK camping!

I'm so excited!

Ya I was between the brown and dark red for camping. I went with the red because it looks almost like the maroon keys in camping. I think it will go very well together.

According to what they stated in the first post, you have 5 days after you've received the invoice. I guess you could always re-enter within the GB period if you don't have the money now?

It was packed in a suitable custom-cut foam and a simple box in past GBs.

We will redo a better packing this time. Don't worry. ;D

Hi guys. Just want to explain about the quick invoicing.

The money in Yock's PP account is already frozen, and it needs time to reactive.

Or he has to put his own money to pay the order to factory.

We appreciate guys who paid so quickly.

If you need to distribute the budget and pay later, feel free to PM me. No worries.

Thank you guys! ;D

I had a hard time between that and Purple but Dark Red looks soooooooooooo good.

I think GMK Red Samurai or SA Royalty would go really well with it. I don't know if it'll blend too much though. I am interested in buying one or the other, either way.

On a side note, I also want either GMK Taro or GMK Black Lotus. I think Taro looks better, personally, but Lotus has really nice novelties.
