Lol I have always loved this creature ;D
Looks awesome. I will opt out on account of I have bags of keypop keycaps lying around :) Will restrain myself. Though I am still contemplating an entire F-row in blue mana bottles.
Is that a donkey?
Are you guys thinking of other variations since this has been super popular so far? Maybe a white on black?
I can't tell if mine submitted, I'm on my tablet.

Nope, we didn't find any LadyPecs on our Order Form..
Last Order we received was from GaveYourMomAIDS from reddit
We're constantly increasing in numbers! We might even hit 500 by tonight!
EDIT: Just received your order!
Wow biggest GB yet.
Wow biggest GB yet.
And I haven't even placed my order yet! :D
Don't care for those two new mockups you did, something eery about them. Kind of like the black eyes make them evil, and the belly spot becomes a big Kirby mouth sucking up souls.
Perhaps you could try a leaf green on white cap? Something kind of forest-y?
The reason for green, this is on the T-shirt I'm wearing right nowShow Image(http://www.threadless.com/imgs/products/2896/636x460design_01.jpg)
Damn it, I opened this hoping for a sushi design >_<
What will be the date we can expect the keycaps to arrive (if the groupbuy ends on 03/27 and everybody pays in timely manner)3~4 weeks after payment is made so 04/24/13 would be a safe bet!
I've already placed an order, but if I would like to add more, should I just submit another order?
Damn it, I opened this hoping for a sushi design >_<Yes to this.

We will continue taking count on the demand of the other variations of colors for now before we make a choice to add a new color. The more colors we have, the more keycaps. Although we'd love to have plenty of different variants, having too many color choices is too much work for us to sort out. But if the demand is large we will try to squeeze in 1 or 2 colors.
If by any chance a 4th or 5th color will be added you are free to submit another form but we'd strongly ask that you PM us here or drop us an email at Sales@keypop.net
Order numbers have been updated and we are already almost reaching the 500 keycap price tier for the Blue Toro keycaps!
So how are you measuring demand for the alternate colors? Should people just post up which one they like? Or is there a form? If there is not a form, may I suggest a form to vote on a 4th (or 5th) color choice?
I vote for white legend on black keys.
Orange or yellow (or whatever that is) legends on black is a close second for me.
I would buy both.

We're currently working on a form for you guys to fill out. We will post it after nokcha gets back from work and I talk it out with him.

If they reach 52 cents I would have to buy some. And with the international shipping fee, it only makes sense to buy 10+..... ;)
I never participated in a group buy before, but this is too awesome to resist!
So If I wanted to get 4 blue, 5 gray, and 4 white keycaps, that would be 10.66.
Add that with the shipping(+4.5), that would be 15.16.
How do I pay this on paypal? Who do I send the money to? Thank you!
EDIT: Oh, didn't see the order form. So I pay after the deadline, right?
And if the price lowers, will I receive that benefit even though I ordered earlier?
This group buy is awesome and I would love to participate!
It says in the order form that the shipping address must match my Paypal address. I have recently moved from my Confirmed Paypal address and will be moving after April again. Will there be a problem if I listed my current address? Would I be able to alter my address with you if I after April (I read that you estimate that these will be shipped at the end of April)?
Also I would like to say that the orange/black key and white/black key would be awesome as an option as well.
Your shipping address must be finalized before payment is processed which would be 1 or 2 days after the deadline when we have finished sending out invoices. Please plan ahead.

Thanks for the quick reply and for your hard work on this Group Buy. Will it be ok if I used my girlfriend's address just to make sure that they get somewhere? I do not think that they are in my Paypal though.
May I have an estimation about how much it cost international shipping of 30 keycaps? Not sure if it's better doing two 15-kecaps shipment for $9.25 each or a bigger shipment.

20 keycaps away from breaking the 500 price tier mark for the Blue Toro!
Bravo Gentlemen! Almost reaching the 500 price tier in under 24 hours is a feat in itself!Show Image(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wGd2NtdnflY/UQ5C3j9bXOI/AAAAAAAAI9U/ErAkjFd5KBY/s1600/citizen-kane-clapping.jpg)
Once we get atleast 75 votes for one color on the polls, we'll include the color in the groupbuy.
Currently Dark Green on White seems to be the most popular by far.

And now you have passed 500 in under 24, grats! Once green goes up, I'll have to add some more to my order :D And I'll message you involving shipping once those are up.

It is ALWAYS better to ship in one big shipment than separate. with about 30 keycaps you should only see a difference of an extra dollar or two in the shipping cost.

How much to add tracking/insurance?
Navy blue on a grey would look awesome too!
Just ordered 2 Forests, hopefully there are a lot of people that want them so we can cut the price.
thanks again, for the additional key.
What would it cost for shipping 20 keys international? And 30?

New Price Tiers broken for Forest Toro($1.06) and Blue Toro($0.56)
I'll try to get estimates for shipping prices on large bulk orders. Please keep in mind we may add an extra dollar or two for sorting fees if your order is very large. We hope you guys don't mind.

You had only broken the tier of price, but the amount of each TOROs are not right value.
How can I update my order if I want to change quantities?
As promised,
So far our ESTIMATED costs for slightly large orders (~50 keycaps) is about $4-5 more. For around 30 keycaps please expect a $2-4 increase. This does not include the sorting fee.
For any orders that are enormous(around 100) please note that we will be using priority mail. A small flat rate box is around $25 while the medium flat rate box is around $45. Please keep in mind that these rates for priority is not giving us any form of profit. These are the actual rates for the Post Office.
We do offer cheaper solutions for shipping but that is entirely your risk. We have rarely had packages fail to be delivered(with the exception of China), so most likely your packages should not have any problems reaching you unless you have entered your shipping address incorrectly.
We've been a bit slow on updates lately because I've caught the flu but we'll try our best to keep you updated.
The estimated costs may differ slightly(a dollar or two) when it comes to the actual invoicing and when we calculate more accurately.
We've hit some new ridiculously high numbers for all designs!
Please be aware that there are NO PRICE TIERS AFTER 1000 unless we hit 2500 which is very unlikely.
Please keep in mind. We'd like to strongly suggest against purchasing our keycaps for commercial purposes as all extras will be sold at our webshop(support us!). The primary reason we decided to release group buys to the public was to offer our keycaps at affordable prices for the community to enjoy.
We hope you guys understand!

I just want to demonstrate that we are 8 Spanish dudes buying circa 70 keycaps for non-commercial and totally private pleasure ;)

hmm, i vote for purple & pink on white next . Do you think James ?
I vote for white on black next!
It is perfectly fine to buy some extras to sell later. We just wanted to avoid people who would buy large amounts (100+) for pure commercial purposes.
If you'd like to buy our keycaps for commercial reasons please contact us and we can work something out.
We aren't necessarily outright banning this but we'd strongly recommend against it because we did pay for the legend fees and already planned on selling extras in our webstorehmm, i vote for purple & pink on white next . Do you think James ?
Those are some bold colors there~ Not sure how many grown men would like those colors ;]I vote for white on black next!
haha . I think you should open more options vote [:d]QuoteI'm a grown man, and I love pink n purple! (No, I don't like ponies)

I'm one guy buying an absurd amount for personal use :|
I don't know what happened but all the orders have increased dramatically over night. Congrats gents and ladies!
We spent nearly 2 weeks organizing orders and replying to PMs. Fixing/changing orders. Constantly updating the numbers.
We were already half way done calculating invoices and this happens.
Completely ridiculous. We have heavy assumption this individual was from reddit via this link.

I was looking forward to these caps, too bad it won't happen now.
I do have to say though that this response probably didn't help if you wanted to argue your case with SP to try and get them to make it:
"If you haven't noticed yet, our intention was to copy totoro but we simply renamed it for obvious reasons." (http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1aveub/%E0%B2%A0_%E0%B2%A0_052_for_a_keycap_keypopnet/c915yxl)
You might have been able to argue for artistic differences and that it merely resembles it, it is not the likeness of it, if you hadn't said that. Unless, of course, SP is like Youtube and just yanks it and doesn't really review cases.
From what I've seen/heard SP is exactly like YouTube.

That's unfortunate then.
Hopefully this doesn't put Keypop off for doing future GBs. They are by far one of the most professional, prompt, and personable key cap companies I have bought from. They were doing a fantastic job with this GB and I would love to buy from them in the future.

It's not that SP doesn't want to make these keycaps -- they could potentially be sued for mass-producing copyrighted material for financial gain. SP would be stupid not to decline. It's very understandable, but whoever reported it still a ****head.
And that's why SP suxIts not SP's fault as we fully understand their position on this. We're just very irked that someone would go as far as reporting us.
Guys, it was me. Stealing is bad, mmkay. You wouldn't download a catbus.I would.

Just a note as a Disney underling myself: Disney produces the English dubs and owns the US distribution of some of Studio Ghibli's films. They don't own the studio.

Wait, did Toby come back?
Also, this really sucks. Any chance since we had such a high MOQ that we could move this over to GMK? I was really looking forward to several 50cent keys!
:( I was looking forward to these little guys arriving on my keyboard. I had a feeling it was one of those people on reddit since they seemed against the concept for some reason. I hope this doesn't affect possible future group buys from you guys! sorry to hear the bad news :(Reddit is kind of a hateful community. Especially anything involving geekhack. All the ripster hate propaganda kinda sets the mood for them. It was probably a redditor just because numerously more people read reddit.

Ah, yes...Let's blame Ripster for everything
Probably the same thing with GMK, but why not have Imsto make them. I'm sure he has plenty of white blank Thick PBT R4 caps :)
I was looking forward to keypop's GB as much as everyone ... I still want a forest Toro :(
I don't mean to step on anyone's toes, but umm ... not sure when this happened ...

We contacted imsto(he was online when we pmed him) and he seems to have logged off now.
Hopefully I'll hear back from him soon.

All you have to do is get legal permission from the copyright owner. Very easy to do usually and of no cost (likely).
oh....
Sdiearly just gave me the link....
I do not know this is an GB here, just someone show me the image, I thought it's his ....
then it's a mistake. I should say sorry to keypop. will stop the producing of the Toro.
U may keep on the GB. thanks.
why don't u make the GB going on?

I see, factories in US or EU or SP will not make these kind of logos with copyright. but people usually like those logos with copy right...That is the point (for the most part) of copyrighting something: to protect something you consider valuable to you or others. It's a good thing if someone likes their logo to them, you just have to go through them to get it.

Funny because looks like some company in China went ahead and started manufacturing these in thick dye sub. And they look quite good too. lol
