Wait a sec so these will be sent out as they produced? We don't have to wait till a set date for them to close the GB then start the production?

This should answer your question:

There's no deadline for this group buy yet. We will start production whenever we receive 20 orders. If your order is the 21st, you would need to wait for the 40th order and then the 2nd batch of production will start. But of course, if if takes more than a month to have 20 orders, we will start production without MOQ anyway. If we don't have 20 orders by September 15th, we will start the first batch production on the day right away.

So between the start and now there have already been 20? Because I'm confused at how you received your order so fast.

Does it make it feel nice and sturdy with the weights? I'm in the gb here. I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect.

That's nearly 2.6 pounds. Quite hefty! The price is hefty as well; about 96 US dollars per pound. I would still like to have a high-profile anodized aluminum Poker II case, but I might have to pass on this one. I hope that there will be another GB for a simpler case -- just the case without decorative brass inlays. Thanks for the information.

...and thumb pcb switches...

What is a thumb PCB switch and what does it do? Never heard of it, just saw it on the picture.
