If for some unfortunate reason a spot opens up, I would love to grab a set.

The moment it happens I'd be able to pay.

Watch for the extras after we ship out the original orders.

[Sinzz]

Either a classified here or on the website.

[NYC]

[TheQsanity]

What are the current prices and how many more are left? If this has expired... When will be the next one?

Prices are in the OP, and it's currently closed. There's no other planned group buy for these keys at the moment.

[sherryton]

Items should be coming in real soon.  It's been about a month!

[wiredPANDA]

Awesome news! 

[pmh1410]

i don't think so.
Normally, they need 6 week to do it.

[Sinzz]

I just hope there are enough extras so I can get myself a set... :crosses fingers:

[TheQsanity]

How soon or late could the next group buy for this be?

[swagpiratex]

There isn't one planned. You can only hope that you're fast enough when sherry or hazeluff put the extras on sale.

Let me know what you guys think.  There is a problem with the sublimation process I believe.  The orange looks a little red/orange.  Yellow looks like lime.  Blue is light blue.  Purple is dark blue.

We can still try to revise it with Melissa keeping her job.  Let me know.  I'll try to go with majority of the vote.  Should we try to re sample it to get it more perfect?  or is this fine?

[elton5354]

I am fine with it.

[Zifle]

I'd like to see the grey a little more grey, and not so blue, but other than that, I'm fine with it.

[Sinzz]

I think it looks fine. though, not having one is a bummer because they look great!

If this is just a sample, and not the whole run, then yes, I vote to get them re-made.

If a bunch have already been made, the I guess I can live with it.

[Hzza]

Get them remade, it's not what we asked for.

[cheezburgah]

I would prefer if the cats face was grey not blue. But otherwise it looks great.

[mickd]

Yeah I would prefer if they were fixed. The main thing for me is the nyan cat's body not being grey (but if we're going to fix them, might as well fix the tail colours too). But if they were already all made, I can live with it.

[sherryton]

SP's colors are limited.  If you own a PBT color ring, then you'll know the limitations. 

[Glissant]

The colors need to be done right, and if the sample isn't even right then I am afraid the final product won't be.
The cat being that blue is also a problem for me. Is it perhaps because of the white balance?

So what I am saying is that if Melissa can guarantee that the colors will NOT turn out like the sample, but will actually turn out as requested, then there is no need to re-sample. But if the process is this badly calibrated then we might have to ask them to re-sample.

Are their dye sub colors limit based on what they have in PBT? That seems strange to me.

SP made the original set, why can't they use the same colours as that?

It is the same color.  That's exactly how the first ones were made.

I believe she said the picture's color is on par with what she actually sees, but I will obtain the sample real soon.  I'll see what can be done. 

And yes, their dye sub colors are based on PBT because we chose the dye sub process.  I think imsto may be able to produce this with better colors, but the key cap is off white I believe.

[Glissant]

Alright. I see that they have just printed the exact same as the previous Nyan cat set with the alignment fix. Do you know if they are able to color correct or is this the closest they can get? I am pretty sure I have seen better colors in the PBT color ring.

By the way, does the rainbow on the backspace look a little low to anybody else? Or is it just an optical illusion?

[absolut3]

The rainbow on the backspace does look lower than the others... I thought the alignment was fixed?.. As for the colors, it could be better but I can live with it if it's due to limitations.

Edit: Took a closer look and it actually looks like the rainbow was printed with a slight slant and not straight on the backspace key

[i3oilermaker]

My 2 cents, the key looks good, but the yellow is more of a green.  If they can fix that I think it would look a lot better.

[KholdStare]

I'm okay with the colors, and the border looks better than what I remember seeing from previous sets so that's nice. The alignment from the backspace to the next key looks slightly off to me, but it's hard to tell from a photo; that'd be more of an issue than the colors ever would be to me.

[sherryton]

Melissa sent me the sample.  I'll take a better look, and I'll show you guys.  Thanks everyone for their input. 

[hazeluff]

The colors are the same as what they were last run. We tried to fix the purple, but the outcome seems to be the same as last time (probably because they lack a real purple).

Things that were addressed and changed were:
-Backspace legend not taking up the whole key.
-Backspace legend not being aligned with the left edge.

[WRXChris]

Yeah it's definitely the same colors as last time:


EDIT: just compared the two, and the new legend looks much better, especially Nyan's face!

[n00bca3k]

Looks good to me!

[cleeoo]

The colour of the cat looks fine to me. It might not be as grey as it should be, but I don't think it's that big of a problem. The colours of the rainbow could be better though. The yellow doesn't look yellow at all, and there isn't much distinction between the orange and the red. If there isn't much that can be done about it though, I think the keys look good enough!

I think if possible, the yellow should be fixed, if nothing else.

[mickd]

Yeah, I originally said it would be nice (but not necessary) to fix the grey on the cat, but it actually doesn't look that bad at all. Do what you can Sherryton Whatever we end up getting, I'll be happy to receive it!

[hazeluff]

We attempted to fix the purple as that was the most obviously "wrong" color as it's dark blue and not purple. But After changing it to a much more redder blue/purple, the printed key is still the same = /.

But most people didn't have a problem with the last set. So I think this might be as far as we may go with changes on this set. We'll see if we can do anything.

[cheezburgah]

Second look at the cap and I think it looks pretty good really and I am cool with it

[gimpster]

The backspace does look like it was printed at a slight tilt, though...

[BoxWithADot]

Posting so I know if there will be leftovers 

[Kellybear]

That tilt, lol.

[noog]

Theee tilllt.
