Target locked!

We've checked the times again and the planner (http://bit.ly/SJkw2M) accounts for the daylight savings change. :) But check the countdown timer (http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20121029T10&p0=240&msg=DIPCAPS+Trial+Sale) to confirm.

Is Sydney ahead of Melbourne by 1 hour?
-
Ah damn, sorry rayuki. :( We wanted to make it a decent time for everyone, at least for the trial sale, and this was the best we could come up with.
And akuJIWA, Melbourne should be the same time as Sydney!
-

I don't fancy my chances of getting in quick enough this evening - but I'll be making a purchase if you decide to make more.

Haha, I totally got fuct. 1 second too early.

Haha, I totally got fuct. 1 second too early.
BOOSH!

Yes, it's off. :/

LOLOL.
Why does GH keep telling me to review my posts?
-
You should have watched the forum time instead. Loads of people got a post in before me but none of them were for number 1! W00P!
-
LOLOL.
Why does GH keep telling me to review my posts?
You gotta disable that if you wanna be a sniper :D
-
#2 MOLTEN (Red & Gold) plz
-
Haha for some reason I read the post as having 5 of each available, so I didn't bother to be exact. Now I just realised it's one of each :P Grats to the people that got in!
-
LOL. First-timer, how to disable? :eek: :eek:
-
LOLOL.

Would appreciate if you could tell me how :D.

Guess all we could do is wait for his reply. Its either he "disregards" the 20 second off thingy, or just take it as it is =/
-
omg i can't wait, i want to buy all of them right now...
-
I was lucky!
-
LOL. First-timer, how to disable? :eek: :eek:
Profile -> Modify Profile -> Look and Layout -> "Don't warn on new replies made while posting."
you can also "Leave words uncensored." if you want to see people cussing instead of ***

But that would mean he has to restart the whole trial sale...
-
Unofficial because I'm bored results including time stamp (just showing sec after the minute) (looks like ~22 second to complete)(don't take these as what is real, they may change their mind on when it started, heh)

Or they decide to make it rare/ premium keycap?
-
W00P!
I bought windows 8 today. I meant to do alt+s to post but I pressed the win key by accident and ended up on a mystery page for about 20 seconds and shat myself. XD
Luckily I still managed to get in!

Now all I need is you open your cake shop :D.

Hey guys, thanks for posting!
The countdown timer was intended to be a guide to figure out timezones, but the rules said that forum timestamps would be the one taken into account. Sorry if you missed out because of that! Also, unfortunately two posts (snoopy and metafour) were before the tick of the hour.
Congrats to the following people: :)
#1 Alessandro SWIRL (Dark Choc & Gold)
#2 tinlong117 MOLTEN (Red & Gold)
#3 metalliqaz CANDY CANE (Red & Cream)
#4 Halverson STRIPE (Green & Gold)
#5 kmiller8 HAZE (Purple)
I'll send each of you a PM soon!
Don't worry if you missed out on one this time! Judging from the amazing response from you guys, we'll definitely be making more soon! Look out for them :D

I was refreshing the gh to make sure I followed the forum time instead of the countdown timer and ready to post with the laptop when I saw 17.59.58 (My mind : CANDY CANE IS MINE) click post .... REVIEW YOUR POST... * EMO *
-
Yay! Thank you!
Not to derail, but in reply to leeshjnn, my shop will be opening some time on thursday.

-

YES! At least I settled the review your post problem..... :P
-
If either of you want to ask me about the shop, post in my forum. Leave Jeroplane his thread. :)
-
Interesting way to figure out which ones to make first. Just sit back and see which were the most contested. Not bad.
I'm sure he's going to make lots more. Hope for cherry profile!
-
I think they all would have sold regardless - what about those people who missed the sale completely?
-
Yup, I completely missed it. Real shame since I was all over that candy striped keycap, really can't wait for the real sales of these!
-
Paid!
-
you sell only 5 keycaps ? =))
-
its all good guys who wanted one these will be up in classifieds for a ridiculous price sometime soon when someone decides to cash in.
-

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that these were prototypes and they are planning to produce a larger run soon.

"Depending on the level of interest ..." - unprecedented!
Except I think most of us, er, precedented the level of interest that was, ultimately, shown.
I'll just reword that bit in my head for now ...

........... I was stuck in traffic sigh...................................................................................total regret

oops forgot to snipe.
