Hi! What do you think about to add back stainless steel or pvd weight increasing the price USD 25?

Is there an ordering option for non-Brazilians? I'm USian and don't have the required tax identification number.

You can put your equivalent identification/tax number, or you can leave blank.

Where do we stand with this project now? Was the MOQ met?

Love the layout, price is nice, but I am worried about no prototypes and the absence of weight. Did this hit MOQ?

Sorry, but the MOQ was not met.

That's too bad, I was looking forward to it. I hope you'll regroup and try again, though. It's an interesting board at a great price, but the ordering process was pretty off-putting for non-Brazilians, especially with the current anxiety around group buys.

When are refunds going out?

We will try in near future. All refunds were processed. Are you one of them?

Sorry, entirely my mistake! I received my refund right after the group buy period ended, but I didn't get a notification from PayPal.

I'm looking forward to seeing LM70 for sale again soon.
