European members facetsesame and flamf have teamed up to offer the chance to buy a matching brown ISO enter keys to go with SA True Retro!
Only a lime ISO enter was made available in the CtrlAlt buy, so this is your chance to get the key to complete your set for ISO.
This will be a very limited offer, with a maximum of 25 keys manufactured.
We have a price quote from SP and the maximum price will be around US $9.50 excluding shipping. Note that this price includes import into the EU. Final price will be reduced if someone in the US can assist with shipping and we gather enough interest.
If you can help, or you'd just like some keys, let us know!

Do we have any say on the alignment? I do like the DCS pictured above with the text in the center of the upper lobe rather than the SA one.Great question. The intention is for the text vertically aligned with the centre of wider, top row of the key, just like the DCS cap pictured.
This is consistent with the design for the lime key. SP have made ISO enters with this legend alignment for other buys, so I'm sure this will be fine.

You're looking at taking delivery from Signature Plastics and breaking down into probably no more than 8-12 parcels all going to the EU.
I'll stay in touch.

We've got show of hands for 15 of the caps so far, including organizers.
Also, a friendly US member has offered to assist with shipping, so we can probably take import duties out of the picture.
We should be sorted by the end of next week and put the order in at SP, with a production time of 8-12 weeks and then ship and re-ship.

Ah, hell. I already invested way more than I probably should have into this ... and I don't have any ISO keyboard ... but ... well ... I'm in for one anyway.The spirit of this buy, I don't have a board for this keyset either :p
Post by: flamf on Tue, 23 June 2015, 06:05:56
I'm interested in 3. I'm really sceptical that I will like the lime enter so this is a nice opportunity to get something else.Shouldn't be problem getting three, we expect coming out with spares in the end. But this set is worth it for sure :thumb:

We're working things out with thelectronicnub, who has very kindly offered to handle shipping and payment collection. He's got an ongoing buy demanding his attention right now (MX Locks), so as soon as that is cleared we'll get this going. Orders for his buy closed yesterday, July 6th, so within the next week or two we should have this organised and priced out.
Price should be in the range of 7-8.5$/cap + 7-8$ shipping and handling.
We've got 9 keycaps left between us two organizers if everyone follow through, so if anyone is interested in 1 or 2 more, let us know.
cheers

Looking forward to receiving SA Retro over here :D
Regarding this add-on, Signature Plastics are backed up with orders on their SA tooling until end of August, giving us a slot for this the first week of September.
So we'll start collection probably in a few weeks time, which also gives theelectronicnub good time to get his previous business out of the way.
We're confirmed for 25 caps @6.27$, excluding shipping from SP, but should come out at around 7$ a piece.
thelectronicnub will let us know in details regarding confirmation and payment in due time.
cheers

theelectronicnub, who will kindly be taking care of distribution and shipping from the US will receive all 25 keys as soon as SP can make them.
We'll set up a registration and payment form, once we have a confirmed order with SP.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions, and if you want to acquire 1 or 2 more caps than originally stated, that can probably be accomodated.
All the best, looking forward to seing the Retro set and this live :thumb:

Now, I also just received my Brown ISO keys, and there's a quite obvious issue:
[attach=1]
:rolleyes:
We DID order the keys with the correct text 'RETURN', so the error is on Signature Plastics. I'm fairly certain that we're entitled to replacements free of charge, and facetsesame, who handled the whole business with SP, will get in touch with them ASAP.
Unfortunately, shipping to participants is on our end, so you'll have to cover the cost of this yourselves. I'm hoping the we can talk theelectronicnub into helping us out again, since he did a fantistic job handling. I got my enter keys 6 days after the set, so I'm no rush to get the accurate keys and I'm guessing we'll have to be patient (still) as there is no shortage of SA action over at SP ;)

Oh man, that's a bit of a mistake on their part... Anyway, thanks for the update, happy to pay the shipping again. Hope they can fit them in in between Carbon sets somehow.

I got the "Enter". Thanks for running this! If there would be the corrected "Return", I also wouldn't mind paying the extra shipping.all keys that I have currently and have shipped out all have the enter legend. I'll be putting up a form for those of you who want replacements soon

I just noticed the form and filled it, hope it's enough that I mentioned I wanted it before they were made.
Absolutely, I haven't confirmed this, but I certainly think they sent out replacements for the full 25 keys that were originally ordered.

In other words, theelectronicnub should now have 30+ Brown ISO RETURN & ENTER keys in stock :)

Oh shoot. It is Friday and it is late... For some strange reason I filled out the replacement form. My mistake as I have not received my cap. Then it struck me. Did I even sign the original form? I know I expressed interest by posting a reply in this thread. Is there anyway of checking if I filled out the original form?
you did indeed fill out the original form but you never paid

:-X :-X :-X :-X I didn't...? Holy c****p... I can't recall I declined a payment on my PayPal account. Either way I f****d up obviously.
In that case I must humbly ask if it is too late now?
EDIT: Just signed-in to my PayPal account and see the payment request. I can't believe I missed it. It's strange because I cannot find any evidence of PayPal notifying me that I have a pending payment. Checked my e-mails and couldn't find anything. Damn you Friday 13th!!! Oh wait.. It is 00:30. Still I need to ask the above question **puppy eyes**.
