Aside from blanks the BBv2 is one of the few artisans that I enjoy (not a fan of super-detailed caps). PLEASE LORD GIVE ME YOUR RAFFLE-BASED BLESSINGS

Last V2s  :eek: but I am still two short of my end game! Last V1 reapers as well, definitely going to be a bitter sweet sale.

Pretty hyped about the new reaper and what he can do with different colours etc and v3 should be pretty interesting, kinda forgot Miami v2 was going to be one of the last ones before v3 comes out.

Hella hyped for the sale though, just hope I can get my hands on a Miami v2 and a cosmic reaper!

Oh my god. If I don't get in on this I'll miss my last ever chance of getting my dream bro. I mean I love Reaper V1 and I need one still, but... ****. I love the Brobot v2 and a sky blue/sparkly blue one in BS or MX is my ultimate of ultimates. There's no chance of getting the ones I missed before I had a chance to get into bros like Northern Lights or Icestorm or Jellybean or even the powderpuff blue from Easter, and now if I don't get lucky during this my dream dies. T_T I'm not rich and can't afford to pay above retail and I don't have trade fodder to get what I need, I am so screwed.

Gonna cry over here. Probably going to hit during the time I'm gone too and it's going to be insanely difficult to even enter even though it's a raffle. T_T

I'm sad to see the v2 go.
I enjoy so many of the different v2s and I know I'll never get them, but it will seem to even more difficult once I don't have any new v2s to trade for them.

I hope to at least get one of the Cosmos, v2 or Reaper, but wish I could get them all since I love the space theme.

Super excited to see the full sale list and what the v3 looks like (or other possible new styles as well).

Man, if this sale really has the cosmos, miami, v1 and v2 reapers, and the last run of v2 brobots, I can almost feel sorry for people that have a dibs ticket. Can you imagine trying to pick a singular bro from this sale? Let alone trying to keep in mind that there could be even more desirable bros in future sales.

I think the hard part is picking which ones, since you are limited to how many you can get but you have more options than that.

Seeing how it's the last v2s and v1 reapers, i think it's a good decision to use your ticket on this. Although there might be some regret when the v3 and v2 reaper come out, there will probably be more designs/ color schemes that will tickle your fancy that you will get over missing out on the first run.

I agree, and being the last chance to definitely secure a v2 / v1 reaper it would be hard to skip out on it.

Last v2 and Reaper v1?  Damn, I'm yet to see either in person and they look like great caps.

Unfortunately pretty as they are I don't think spacey sparkly blues or Miami brightness fit my plans, so I might have to be a douche and go for caps I don't want just so I have something to trade for those I do.  Seems really wrong when so many people love these :-[

I'm a sad panda to see them go but also super excited for the future. Bros a freaking evil genius when it comes to design so I feel safe know or I guess not knowing what he's got cooking up in his laboratory. I really do want a reaper though  :eek: !

Man I just saw that new announcement. Luckily I have managed to acquire a V2 and Reaper before this day. Probably never letting them go now, forever staying on my board!

I'm assuming this also means a preview of a V3? I'm just guessing.

Either way, I was already hyped, now my brain is positively exploding with excitement.

Yeah, it's sad.  I prefer the more simple V1 Reaper to the V2.  I am interested to see what the V3 Bot is though.

Same.  I really hope this shows up though:

I'm hoping to just get one brocap... I've entered about 6-7 raffles on ctrlalt and a few through email and haven't got one yet. v2's are my favorite artisan cap and I love seeing pictures of them and hope to own one myself without having to pay the high prices.

Have patience - some people wait months and months until they get their first artisan (Bro Cap or other).

But the joy when you get your first one will make the wait seem bearable.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Don't really see why he feels he should 'break even' for the cap when it sounds like he's 100% responsible for the "inflation" of the price.  Seems rather silly to me.   :))

Oh you can be sure I've been waiting months and months haha. I'm patient and if its meant to happen, I know I'll get it eventually. It's just that this is the last shot to get one in a sale so my chances are looking slim.

You see that all the time though. With Bros and certainly CCs. It's always someone else's fault about the price.

I could go stick my V2 up on reddit/classifieds right now, and say "guize I'm lookin' for $400, I'm juss tryin' to break even and that's how much I bought it for."

See? I can be greedy as **** but it's not my fault. Lol. I wouldn't do that, but I'm just saying. That's the logic people tend to use.

Someone might find a few left over after the sale.

There might be special giveaways from time to time.

One or two might be donated to competitions run on GH.

People might decide to sell their collections on GH.

Remember that Bro Caps are not supposed to be sold above retail price, lest you incur Bro's wrath ;)

I'm hoping to just get one brocap... I've entered about 6-7 raffles on ctrlalt and a few through email and haven't got one yet. v2's are my favorite artisan cap and I love seeing pictures of them and hope to own one myself without having to pay the high prices.

Have patience - some people wait months and months until they get their first artisan (Bro Cap or other).

But the joy when you get your first one will make the wait seem bearable.

But what if I miss out on the last chance to win a v2 :(
Remember that Bro Caps are not supposed to be sold above retail price, lest you incur Bro's wrath ;)
Beside those back door PM's with insane amounts of money being thrown around for Bro's that are never made for people to see.  :rolleyes:

Someone might find a few left over after the sale.

There might be special giveaways from time to time.

One or two might be donated to competitions run on GH.

People might decide to sell their collections on GH.

Very true, guess I've just gotta sit and hope and keep an eye out for anything that comes up with my fingers crossed  :cool:


Beg or trade.

I really hope I don't get to the point where I have to beg for one  :-[ and I've got nothing that I don't want that would hold much value in a trade unfortunately.

Why are we not naming and shaming the people doing big money PM deals against Bro's wishes?  It's great knowing there are a-holes amongst us, but if I don't know who they are how am I supposed to play even a small part in stopping it?

And I assume these people(?) known by so many of you are blacklisted from sales?  If not why not?

Well you would be starting a witch hunt so that not good, also no matter how assy it is pretty bad thing to do, but you would be surprised the people that come out asking for lots and they turn around publicly and say they don't :X never bought any but have had offers, crazy crazy hhkb priced offers O.o.

Hopefully Bro has a Miami bro ready for Baldgye :c I guess Airtree can get one too, but only if I get my fairydust brocap >:I

Unnecessary **** stirring and pointless. Deals will continue to go via PMs.

This would be about as useful as attempting to shame/naming people who spend big money on clacks.

Exactly this. And if it is all happening via PM and is looked down upon, exactly which party do you think will open up and admit it?

Yeah as much as I sigh about the backdoor trading of Bros, some of which we never even got the chance for, there isn't really anything we can do about it since it's all via PM and underground.

Unfortunately it also pretty much means that I'll never get any of my dream caps because there aren't that many light blue/blue sparkle ones, and they're all the kind that are inaccessible unless you have a sick collection already or absurd amounts of money. I don't expect to ever be able to put any V2 on a board. My one I have is Topre, and I'm not getting any Topre boards. I don't expect to ever get a v1 Reaper. My luck with raffles is nil. *sigh* I'm still aching for this sale and everything in it, but... I just don't expect anything to happen. :/ It'd take a miracle and I'm not due for any of those. My 'miracle' was that my tire blowing out Saturday didn't cause an accident and just wiped out all my spare funds.

Agh. Too much stress.

Just going to put this out there as someone openly involved with pm trades and sales of brobots, I've been much more successful than I thought I would be in my hunt for a full F-Row of Reapers yet I've barely paid over the RRP for any of the caps and all trades have been fair, and from my hunting people consider Reapers rarer than v2's.

If your honest and straight up about it, don't pressure people and don't just pm spam people who own reapers asking to buy them for $200 or something, you'll be fine with a simple [WTB] thread that you bump when you can. Most people on here are pretty solid blokes and blokets who aren't really interested in screwing others over for a single cap.

Be chill, be cool and relax. The long hunt for the **** you want is far more rewarding than a 'Buy now' will ever be ;)

I don't know how you do it because Iv never gotten a direct offer. Is my thread ;-; but again too legit :p
As for those saying they won't get anything keep the faith up I didn't get one until like 5 people said I should get I should get one (I'm still very happy) you will get something just got to think there must be easily over 1000 people that enter each sale it's more a game of attrition that anything try for life by enough and you will succeed.

@Nai if you don't have a mx bro by the end of the year I'll trade you one for your topre one, I also don't own topre but I think I could let one go to a good home :p
