[IC] A round 2 novelty key group buy UPDATE W/Keycap list!
« on: Tue, 16 October 2012, 12:38:50 »
Edit: Here's my post later in the thread with the proposed keys available:

Okay, so because of the forum reset, I'm having trouble finding stock images of the old novelty keys. I did do a search through some other old threads, but I don't want to jack images without permission. If anyone has some pictures of the following, it'd be great:


Lotus
Guy escaping with keyboard
Keyboard


If anyone wants those keys.




Here's some of the ones I bought last time around. Don't think we'll do any flag keys this time, they usually get really low counts.





Anyways, here's my updated list of keys I want to run:
Biohazard: (both modifier and Esc keys)
- Red on White (matching Red Alert)
- Blue on Black (Maybe?) It would go with my upcoming doubleshot group buy
- White on Red (matching the abundant red mod sets)

Jolly Roger: Modifier only
-white on black
-black on white
-Red on White


Triforce: Esc and Mod
- Gold on Green ofc
- There is no good purple available from SP, so the gold on purple suggestion is out, but I'm open to others


Awesome Face:
White on Red
Black on Red (this for sure, its new)
Black on Yellow? (I don't particularly want to do the same colors, so throw em up, I'm open to whatever)


LOD:
- Black on Red
- Red on Black
- Willing to do colors that match keysets done by GH, CCnG etc, as well as anything else that looks sick.


Nuke I'll pass on because we just had the hazard group buy.


Escaping Keyboard Guy:
- White on Red
- Black on Red


PANIC:
Colors undecided


ANY Key:
Colors undecided



Socially Awkward Penguin: (Have .svg)
-Black on White





Bowser Flag: (Need .Svg, might make my own if I have to)
- Black on white lets us do the flag
- White on black gives us just a bowser key


Fox key (You'll know what its from)
- White on Black or Grey on Black
- Orange on Black







If you guys want to do a particular GH key I'll lump that in with this and donate the proceeds to GH as usual. Apparently the $350 I sent em wasn't near enough! Give me a color combo!




Anything I missed? Thats a lot of keys! Depending on how many we end up with, I'm planning on starting the group buy at the 50/100 price tier, as I'll just contribute and buy 100 of each to lower prices and have some/lots of extras to sell. That said, if a key gets very little interest even at a great price break, I'll drop it and save myself the effort.

I'll be selling some dyesub SC2 keys in the Imsto GB I think
Uhmmm MLP caps?
I'll get the Imsto GB up soon I promise. 2 midterms on wednesday, so probably asap after that. iMav finally accepted my $350 donation so I'll get my forum up whenever I have a few hours to spare.

To be clear though, we can do some dyesub keys in this group buy, but it should be mostly doubleshots. At the moment I'm thinking:

Red on white Biohazard from my avatar
Awesome Face
LOD
Jolly Roger (On actual black this time so it matches)
Escaping Keyboard Guy
Triforce
... and I have to get to class but a bunch more I can't remember off of the top of my head. I kinda want to do a dyesubbed Skyrim key but that might have to be in the imsto gb too.

I'd like to do some OS keys for sure but the question is which colors, there are so many different keysets available now that its hard to say which you'd want it for. You could do the typical white on black or black on white but it'd be pretty dull. Still, since most boards come with stock windows keys and are black or white, there might be some interest from those that don't have the funds to buy all the expensive doubleshot keysets.


@ Placebo guy: That sounds good, but why the Orange Cherry Esc?

We could do the awesome faces in all sorts of wacky combinations. Blue on white, orange on charcoal (for the upcoming set), green on white like ccng etc.. Replace the function row with rainbow coloured awesome faces!

Lol that's just the white balance. I don't think it'd mesh very well with most boards to put it on blue, I want to run it on WFK so its compatible with Red Alert 2.0. We could do other colors for it too but I don't want to encroach on the hazard logos group buy that is going on because that's awesome.


@ Elrick: Lol that took me a second!

I just want the new colors for the awesome face, LOD... Alot of the old color ones had been sold last time, I don't think it's a good idea to re-do them. People who want something just have a look at the classified or post a thread, I'm sure many one have extras.

For the Tri-Force, instead of gold on green (which I think I saw), I think Green on Royal Purple would be nice. Or some combination with Royal Purple. Heck, I'll take the gold on green too. All of the colors. Bring on the caps.

All kinds of tri-forces!

It would be nice if some of the novelty keys are made in colours that somehow match the recently made sets.

Would be nice to be able to customise a whole set without completely killing the colour scheme.

No, they feared a lawsuit.


Yeah I always do "flag" keys as mods before others.

I mentioned this before somewhere on the infamous Round4 thread but I'm interested in a "SHOUT" cap in replacement of the CapsLock key.  I know there were interest for this from other users so I'm sure we can drum up interest for this again.

Old keys and new ideas too. Throw em at me.

Again the main problem is going to be deciding colors. I'll probably set up some polls once we get some options.

For now, feel free to toss up ideas on ones you both want and think will do well in a group buy/rebuy. I'm willing to do new keys, but existing keys will be cheaper because I don't have to mark them up nearly as much since there's no legend fees.
