Order placed.
I had to cut back slightly on my original IC, sorry about that. A few large bills during the meanwhile have put a bit of a curb on my spending.
But 6 different colours ordered! :D
Purchased! Thanks for the GB :)
in for manyyyy leds~!! thanks for this, much needed :-*
Will this be open on June 30th, or does it end midnight on the 29th? :s
I assume it's the former, but just like to check
Had to sit down, look at all my planned builds, and decide which color LED I'd want in each of them. :))
Finally put in my order though. Thanks for running this buy! :thumb:
Any vague idea of how many of each colour were ordered?
I understand if you'd prefer not release figures.

He told me he ordered extras of each color, if that's what you're worried about.

No - just vaguely curious how many (tens of?) thousand LEDs will be flying around as part of this GB.

I don't have the individual numbers in front of me, but about 70K total LEDs were purchased (+ extras), about a quarter of it was Sky Blue.
Manufacturing has started on the order. Current lead time provided to me today is 10 days for production, a couple days for QC in the factory, then shipping out of China. So still on track, if not a few days early.
How do those numbers compare to what you expected based on the Interest Check?
7/18: production has finished - customs data and export packaging is being prepared!

Its quite refreshing to see GB's finish faster, hopefully shipping will be fast like this too. By the way I saw something weird on Discord, can purple leds cause damage to ABS? (UV and stuff)

They can cause a little yellowing in my experience, but nothing major.

over an extremely long period of time, possibly, and probably only on the inside of the cap
likely about as much impact as regular sun exposure (i.e. if you have a window in your room)
although less so on GMK, my sets are the same color as when i bought them, and they basically sit in the sun all day
I lied! Unexpected hold in Kentucky for inspection by either the FDA (unlikely) or Department of Agriculture (more likely?):Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ih1RUPq.png)
Scans usually don't take that long for a box like this one, so would expect release today or tomorrow. Shipping likely to still commence on Monday but will keep everyone apprised.

I hope nothing living hitched a ride with the LEDs. :)
Thank you for the update.
Delays like this are out of your control but communication such as the above goes a long way towards keeping everyone informed of progress - very much appreciated :)
A lot of sorting going on today - very happy with how the Sky Blue and UV turned out. They were the two colors I was a bit worried about in making the 1.8mm version, but as you can see below, the color is vibrant (and super bright for the Sky Blue).That UV will look godlike with any purple set, especially with the Laser.

Really sorry for the delay, there is not an excuse, it's just taken me longer than I expected to sort them all and I apologize for that.

Your communication during the process has been tremendous. Thank you.
My LEDs came in yesterday! :thumb:

Got mine Thursday. As always, I should have ordered more.
I'm really amused that my order fit so neatly (https://www.dropbox.com/s/jskdxuqw1e79xf1/2017-08-23%2022.13.51.jpg?raw=true) into a box. Was going to post pic when I received originally but forgot :).

That is a *lot* of LEDs! :eek:
