$138.19 for a TKL mx blue and free shipping, very nice. Too bad they dont have the white cases.

Every single one of the Filcos on the US site shows backordered... somehow I am thinking they won't be available in the US from NCIX.

And I just recently bought a Ninja TKL at KeyboardCo for which I paid 174€ ($218).
It would have been cheaper although I'm in Berlin. FML.

Cheers,

Cry for you wallet.

I think that tell me I should start selling Filco too, possible same one you will only pay about 180 dollar shipped (with import fee if there is)..

Wow Filco with red switches, I thought those were to remain super limited and rare... they are now part of their regular Majestouch-2 line.

Red switches Filco will be brought to normal value on the ForSale forum.

Filco Ninja Red's are still quite rare, afaik. The shipment coming in tomorrow or Friday will have those, however. Also the Ficlo White with MX Blues seem to be rather rare as well. Only TKL MJ2 with MXBlue are in this shipment to Amazon. So sad.

In Canada Filco Ninja Red's aren't rare at all, maybe you should try shipping across the border :D

Seems like everything is backordered.  Guess I'll have to wait for Amazon to get their filco stock of ninja's.

Check the KeyboardCo vendor forum.  The shipment date as well as the expected stock have been posted in a sticky at the top of KeyboardCo's vendor forum.

And we're all F5'ing on Amazon hoping that links to the new batch will show up.  When that will be, we do not know.

Yes, the quoted time was wrong, but of no fault to EK. Amazon is just slow. Sorry!

It's a long shot but I hope they get one of these (http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=70738&vpn=FKBN104ML%2FEY2&manufacture=Filco) with MX brown switches.

Welcome to GH!

I don't think they have the exact colour, but have you tried WASDkeyboards or QWERkeys? I think their yellow looks pretty nice.

The WASD yellow is a bit lighter and looks a little weak imo compared to the Filco yellow. Not sure about QWERKeys

I really don't like their colors. My intention is to try out some other Cherry switches (I have that Filco with MX blacks) and maybe pay a friend with soldering chops if I absolutely need a different switch on mine.
