Title: Re: Bro Bots!
Post by: i3oilermaker on Fri, 08 March 2013, 12:39:07: All sold out.

If you missed out, Pound F5 for a while, as if I discover any cheaters, (one already turned himself in) then there will be bots coming back for sale.

May be a dumb question, but may I ask how many were made of each color?
Title: Re: Bro Bots!
Post by: tjcaustin on Fri, 08 March 2013, 12:42:51: Probably one of each like last time. Glad I just snuck in with getting the bronzebot.

Too bad I was busy when I got the email and missed out on the ~~red alert~~KLAXON bot.

It's a 50/50 mix of metal and plastic to get the coloring seen according to the man himself.

Post by: tjcaustin on Fri, 08 March 2013, 13:09:49: I'm betting the cheater caps will stick around a little longer as most of the people that missed first run are all probably doing things away from the keyboard. Like sobbing uncontrollably. Or having lunch.

It's only happened twice that I can think of, possibly three times and this was the last with this mold style. 24-30 seems right as to the amount of keys sold each time.

Nope, untouched gray blanks. It's just the sunset of the harsh Wisconsin winter that's giving it that off shade/color
