I wasn't on GH for a while and it seems like people are selling their colorful (pink/purple..etc) click clack keycaps.
Where did you guys get them from?

Clickclack has his own vendor forums now.

He started it off by having a guessing game. Then few days later follow it up with selling the special run keys that he did a while ago.

That time stamp is more than an hour after the key caps went on sale on EK... Why do we need NY Post when you can have a personal stringer.

You check the Ripster subforum periodically.

Gin was kind enough to give my subforum the exclusive scoop.

Check the timestamp.

The Ripster Subforum is like the NY Post compared to the Main Keyforum NY Times.

I'm always the first to see when the keys are restocked/on sale.. =)

I posted it in ripster's thread in his sub at ~2AM yesterday. No one seems to notice so I just took a jack o' lantern key for myself.

I will probably trade one jack key for 2 special run keys later if anyone is interested. I won't sell for cash though.

Hey wait.  Those aren't links.

Thought this was about seeing them first, not posting about it. Those are indeed time stamps from PayPal receipts.

Yours was the last one. The non-skulls go a lot slower.

LOL I thought it was a skull, the skull got lost in the red mist. The candy corn are like a cool key cap with the top chopped off.
edit: or rather pre-shaping. Maybe I will have a go at carving the skull into it

No, the layer thicknesses on the candy corn skull and plain candy corn are very different. The plain cap is also more pleasant to actually use due to the smooth top.

I dunno I have had a weird thing for these caps for long before I got one, before I joined GH or before I knew how sought after they were.
Used to look at them on EK often wondering if they would ever restock. Now I have a few that I have paid silly money for but to me even then they are worth it.
Only got one in use currently - the topre tri colour, it's a beautiful bit of plastic. Pics don't do them justice.
