Any update on the Iron165 collaboration?
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Pacific | 6 days left!

or just any updates at all

Yup, here's a general update and an update on the Iron165 Collab:
In general, everything is running just fine.
In regards to the Iron165 Collab (previously announced on reddit):
The collaboration will be sold as in stock with the units being ordered soon. There will be 15 units available.Each Iron165 kit will come with a top piece, bottom piece, forged carbon plate, custom cerakoted weight and two custom cerakoted badges (one S+R and one Pacific). Lastly, each raffle winner for the collaboration will win an invoice for a GMK Pacific Base Kit (this will be required to be bought). If someone wins that has already purchased a base kit, they will have the chance to provide a receipt with the same email address as their raffle entry indicating such and then the base kit will be removed from their invoice.
Pricing and date are still TBA but date should be a few months out because the order is going to be put in soon.

IMO I would do it so only people that purchased a base kit can be eligible to enter the raffle. I'd think that would incentivize more people to purchase a base kit now as well.

This definitely would be the most ideal way to have it although it's not really legal in places like the UK and EU. Furthermore, there are further restrictions on sharing of customer data in those regions which made this the next most ideal way of running it.

Numbers won't be posted but if anyone is concerned regarding making sure that funds are donated to Wounded Warrior Project, I will gladly post proof when that happens.

Have there been any updates regarding the Iron? Debating picking up another board instead if this one is still months off.
