Title: [IC] Out of the Vault - Junktown II (Starting April 1st, No Joke!)

Hello Everyone! Back with something new. In order of appearance below, each new legend you see could not be possible without harlw (Brotherhood of Steel Helmet) and mogo (Lucky 38) from our 00Keys team. Also a nod to MikeTheTiger who pushed for Blue/Yellow Mini Nukes to be a thing. Let me know what you think:

Since there have been people who are questioning whether Silver/Black should be a colorway in this set, I have generated the following brief one question survey. Please stop by and fill the form out and let your opinion be heard:

Material Survey Form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4Fmu4LbI638jptt9V0WxA2TurKh54zmU7tLbawUxrI-5z-A/viewform?usp=send_form)

(Set of all 16 keys, same profile)

Manufacturer: Signature Plastics

Size and Material: 1x1u ABS and Polycarbonate Translucent (same plastic used in making safety glasses)

Pick-a-Profile: Choose from SA Row 1, SA Row 3, or DSA. Each set is 16 keys seen pictured in one profile of your choice.

Pricing: $50 USD Shipped US/$65 USD Shipped International

Material Reference Photos of DCS (from my own collection taken with my 8m camera phone):

Just in case someone is new to SA and wonders just how they can fit a standard factory direct keyboard with OEM, here is a picture of a Razer Esc OEM profile keycap next to a SA Row 3 'cap. DSA would be much squattier:

FAQ's:

More
Q: Why make a large set? Why not just break it up into single colors?
 A: Organization and communication ease. It is far easier to invoice/pack orders in terms of complete sets of 16 keys than breaking it down to each individual colorway. Mistakes can be minimized using this method, and MOQ's are easier to obtain when each order can count across the board and not simply to one colorway set. This also allows for a lower MOQ overall and will thus ensure that the entire profile set will be made.

Q: Can I buy more than one set?
 A: Yes. You may purchase as many sets as you like. Remember that US shipping will be included in the price of each set, and only a $10 charge per order (not set) for shipping International regardless of the amount of keycap sets purchased.

Polycarbonate plastic comes in several colors not just clear. I will post some example pics later in the OP to explain better.

Cost is something people are worried about. If I were to cull this back to say 12 keys for $40 (getting rid of Vault 21), would that be better?

The price point definitley makes it more attractive, but I'd rather not loose the vault 21.

Also, we already have so many mini nukes! And it'd be nice to have some vault keys in different colors.

Then, I may open up single colorway sets in addition to compete 16 key sets. Thinking each 4 pack of a single color to be $20 USD. Then, full sets are discounted by $15 ($65) if they go that route. It makes is a little more complex on my end, but it ensure everything still gets made.

I will try to sent out a mass email to those who have opted in for email updates in the past few GB's and Extras. This will happen soon, definitely not today. We need more buzz to be generated in this IC phase...I will not go through another GB failure (see Matrix/Blanks GB disaster)

No worries. I will be emailing those who opted in for the email update here in a few days to alert them of the GB. I am waiting to email Melissa for an 'All Clear' on the legends used for this set. Once I get that done, I will open the GB. Looks like April Fool's Day for start (tentative)

How does one opt in for these emails  :p ?

Also, if its $10-$15 shipping per order regardless of number of sets, could I try to gauge interest from international buyers? (would be mainly located UK) to reduce shipping fee per person? Would help reach MOQ as well probs (apologies if this is somehow inappropriate though, unsure of rules/etiquette)

People who have purchased from me in the past using the form whether GB or Extras sale have a survey question to which they either answer yes or no to being on the email list.

As for the other, by all means. I have people who create their own sub group buys in their country/region/area and then submit a bulk order to me to fill. I have no problem with this, and you are right it will help get to MOQ. I will say that I am not responsible for orders done in such a way once they leave my possession, it is up to the GB leader in each respective country. I will not be accountable for some sort of shinanigans someone else is trying to pull on others (see IvanIvanovich Miami Nights as an example of how not to do a GB).

Post by: richfiles on Sun, 19 March 2017, 13:47:52
If this did get culled this back... I'd say DEFINITELY keep vault 21, keep the Blue/Yellow, and the Red/green poly, but ditch the silver+black. I guess I do see others liking the silver/black... I just don't know how common that is, and I get that maybe that fits the whole vegas chips theme, but it just... doesn't jive with anything else I got. I'm not sure it really honestly pays to split color sets up. If three color sets costs almost the same as the whole batch of four, then it only pays if you want one or two colors. I think the risk there is not meeting MOQ.

I'm definitely in for Row 3... I'm heavily invested in row 3, with my Danger Zone keyboard. In all honesty, I'm starting to really like DSA more and more, ever since getting a DSA-like typewriter from a thrift shop with Marquart switches.

I'm just not sold on the silver/black. Everything else... EPIC!

I like this set and would be in for an SA R1 or R3 set.

If this did get culled this back... I'd say DEFINITELY keep vault 21, keep the Blue/Yellow, and the Red/green poly, but ditch the silver+black. I guess see others liking the silver/black... I just don't know how common that is, and I get that maybe that fits the whole vegas chips theme, but it just... doesn't jive with anything else I got. I'm not sure it really honestly pays to split color sets up. If three color sets costs almost the same as the whole batch of four, then it only pays if you want one or two colors.

Since there have been those requesting a change for Silver/Black colorway, I have added the following Material Survey Form to OP: Material Survey Form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4Fmu4LbI638jptt9V0WxA2TurKh54zmU7tLbawUxrI-5z-A/viewform?usp=send_form)

I see the vault keys as... I don't know, almost like trophies, to be honest. Just as special as the other designs, like the bombs, the Brotherhood helmet, the Nuka-Cola, etc... Cotta catch 'em all, right!  ;D I don't know off the top of my head just how many vaults have been featured across all the games, but several have been prominent, and I'd love to see them all featured eventually. Each Vault key is representative of a place in the Fallout universe. The unique novelty icons are the fun ones, the cool keys to have... But the Vault keys... They speak to the Fallout story!

For me, I'd rather give up a color set than give up any of the unique symbols depicted on the actual keys, vaults included! :D

I'd also rather pay full price if the choice were everything vs giving up a symbol, if that were a limiting factor. I'll have to think about the survey.

As for DSA... I literally have nothing in DSA, so it's so hard for me to invest in anything DSA. That's compounded by the fact that I only have general need for three keyboards... My Danger Zone key set to go with my Kerbal Space Program instrument panel (and is the keyboard that gets the Fallout themed keys), my Apple //c based wireless keyboard, which I hope to build someday, and the typewriter key caps I got for my 1939 Philco radio cabinet PC case... I'm not one to change up my keyboards. I get something, and then stick with it for a decade and a half, fix it, replace it, cry when it's gone, and build an epic custom keyboard, realizing I never knew how good it could be.

I would DEFINITELY use DSA on the wireless keyboard, if I were doing it from scratch, but I'm not. I have a sweet Alps Amber keyboard out of an Apple //c, and I'm dead set on using those AMAZING Alps switches. If Danger Zone ever re-released in DSA... Eh... I might actually consider buying into DSA, but unless that ever happens no can do. Gotta stick with the SA R3 set!

As for this set of keys in SA R3... Like I said, I'm 120% in!  :p

**EDIT** LOL, I didn't finish refining this before you replied! No problem... I just meant that if Data ever did such a thing, i'd probably be on board, but as you said, I don't actually expect it (not in this decade, for certain). I do love SA, and am fine with my keyboard as it is. It's the distinct lack of anything DSA in my collection that makes me reluctant to invest in DSA novelties, preferring the SA Row 3 that I already am invested in. I just never knew how darned smexy those DSAs could be!  :cool:

Would be cool...but I have not heard Data mention anything about DSA version. Closest thing would be if I were to make my own DSA Fallout Jumpsuit set, but I would only do a single layout one and done set. But, TBH I really have no desire to run anything but my novelties.

This questionnaire is ambiguous in its wording and a little confusing. If I'm understanding it correctly, I'd amend the form for clarity's sake:

I am pondering replacing Metallic Silver/Black ABS with another colorway. If you had a choice, what would colorway would you like to see in its place?
  • Don't remove it! I like the Silver & Black ABS
  • White on Black ABS
  • White ABS on Blue Polycarbonate
  • White ABS on Orange Polycarbonate
  • White ABS on Yellow Polycarbonate
(Remember, when talking about color combos, as in print media, it's Text/Legend color "on" background/surround color, i.e. WoB and BoW)

So, this is what happened with the wording. The title section only gives so many characters that you can see. So, I was writing it in a stream of consciousness style and it was horrible. Since I typed out my thoughts in paragraph format, I gathered the thoughts a little better...sorry for any confusion.

Due to an underwhelming response regarding colorways, as Overseer of this here Vault, make the following proclaimation: Black on Metallic Silver will be the 4th colorway in the Junktown II set. However, I acknowledge that many would like to see colorful PC colors and White on Black. So, may there ever be a next time. Overseer out.

Hopefully there's enough interest for this group to run. Maybe in the future running less caps at a lower cost might be a good idea.

I don't think it should be that much of an issue. Zero's keys are top notch and the Fallout theme attracts a following. The more caps the better. :thumb:

If anyone remembers last time. I started with 12 keys for $40 with some gimmicky pricing discount structure which even confused me. After the first few days, and the first several invoices, I made a change and brought the count to 8 keys for $25. It still did extremely well. I think that 16 different, unique keys for $50 (free US shipping and $10 flat international) would be appealing. To those who would rather break up the set, I say coordinate with other people and split them among yourselves. Become a community of sharing and trading...

Just think, with me a person gets 16 keys, but with Bro Caps, maybe they get one if they win the raffle for a chance to buy one. I am not picking on artisans as I am a fan, only trying to make a point as to the value of a set of rare 00Key 'caps.
