[CANCELLED]"Toro" Groupbuy [Hosted by KeyPop.net]

[KeyPop]

This groupbuy has been cancelled

Thank you to the person who shut down a near successful groupbuy.

UPDATE: We are not going to revive this group buy.

KeyPop.net is hosting their first groupbuy!
This groupbuy will be a joint effort between reddit and geekhack.

We figured since this was our first groupbuy, we'd release a design that we have been working very hard on for the past few weeks!
We present you with the
"TORO" Keycap
This keycap will be Doubleshot/ABS for the R4 Row(Esc / Number Row)

Although some of you are familiar with this creature, we've named it "Toro" for specific reasons. Please only refer to it as Toro and nothing more.

Attention please read!

So good!!! Will be filling the form for oh so many tomorrow!

[j2c8w6f8]

So cute!

[Grim Fandango]

Lol I have always loved this creature 

Looks awesome. I will opt out on account of I have bags of keypop keycaps lying around Will restrain myself. Though I am still contemplating an entire F-row in blue mana bottles.

No worries! We're confident these keycaps will hit the $0.51 cent mark by the deadline. You'll have plenty of time to think about it.
After the deadline we will be selling extras at our store.

[KeyPop]

2 Hours in and we've almost already gone up 2 price tiers!

[Rendom]

Is that a donkey?

[KeyPop]

Is that a donkey?

It's a character from a very popular animated film. Not a donkey but sort of a hybrid between a rabbit and bear.

[feng]

I love it! My favorite cartoon image. Will take some before the deadline.

[Plater]

Done, Ordered a bunch just for my Number keys! Thanks for organizing this!

[blueasjim]

Ordered. Thanks.

[KeyPop]

Everyone please be sure to include your Full Name in your shipping address. If you have not done so please PM me your Full Names.
One or two of the shipping addresses we received were incomplete. I will be emailing those who did not fill in the form correctly.

Already broke that 250 price tier! Great job everyone!

[WarNutts]

dont know where im gonna put them put ima order some anyway!! lol too cute.

[Deviruki]

Been waiting for this design to come out, glad there's a groupbuy.

Definitely going to fill out an order form for all three when I get home.

[Lastpilot]

Are you guys thinking of other variations since this has been super popular so far? Maybe a white on black?

We originally wanted to release white on black but oh god it looked horrendous.

We're open to other variations but we chose these specifically because they are most accurate to the originals(with the exception of the black)

Edit: For those of you curious as to what it looks like

If we get enough requests we'll add it to the groupbuy.
Please let us know!

[boost]

In for 2 of each

[tricheboars]

well i gotta get one of these for the ol' lady. she loves studio ghibi films like a fatty loves cupcakes.
i am going to paint/customize a QFR for her, and the blue to TORO is perfect.

oh sorry I mean. "TORO". 

Edit: We don't want the groupbuy to end abruptly :[ Sorry~ had to remove that part

[LadyPecs]

I can't tell if mine submitted, I'm on my tablet.

[KeyPop]

I can't tell if mine submitted, I'm on my tablet.

Nope, we didn't find any LadyPecs on our Order Form..
Last Order we received was from GaveYourMomAIDS from reddit
We're constantly increasing in numbers! We might even hit 500 by tonight!

EDIT: Just received your order!

[WarNutts]

orange and black would be sweet :0

Yeah, I had to do it in a different browser. Thank you!!! <3

[TheQsanity]

Wow biggest GB yet.

[Halverson]

Wow biggest GB yet.

And I haven't even placed my order yet!

Don't care for those two new mockups you did, something eery about them. Kind of like the black eyes make them evil, and the belly spot becomes a big Kirby mouth sucking up souls.

Perhaps you could try a leaf green on white cap? Something kind of forest-y?

The reason for green, this is on the T-shirt I'm wearing right now

We'd really like to, but by the time we can produce a suitable image/svg for the design, the groupbuy will be halfway done..Don't worry we have more similar keycaps in the making that we'll be releasing slowly.

[Halverson]

Oh I just meant, same design, but a leafy green colour on white style. And if you're doing more designs along these lines.....keep me in the know!

Coz these guys need a home on a cap

OH! Have you tried the white on a light grey maybe?

[Tarzan]

I'd be in for a dozen nice, white on dark green Toros as well  (Dark green on white, too!).  Not crazy about the black one, but golden would be fantastic.

[Cafeine]

Do I need them? Nooope. Do I want them? HELL YEAH.

[KeyPop]

If anyone can alert DT about the groupbuy, we'd be thankful.

[jwaz]

Damn it, I opened this hoping for a sushi design >_<

[Halverson]

Damn it, I opened this hoping for a sushi design >_<

Hahah mmmm tuna belly. But you raise a good point, sushi caps!

And OT, the green/white looks awesome! Again, without white for the eyes, even with light grey looks kind of off.

[gnubag]

What will be the date we can expect the keycaps to arrive (if the groupbuy ends on 03/27 and everybody pays in timely manner)

[KeyPop]

3~4 weeks after payment is made so 04/24/13 would be a safe bet!

[pixelpirate]

I've already placed an order, but if I would like to add more, should I just submit another order?

[tempr]

This GB stopped me from being a lurker .. HA! Great design by the way and I'd definitely consider participating in other Ghibli based GBs.

[KeyPop]

You can place another order but we'd strongly prefer that you email us at Sales@KeyPop.net or PM us here to me or nokcha

Yes to this.

I think Calcifer would lend himself well to a doubleshot key along this style.

The Orange/Black would be a cool addition, but I definitely love the low low prices so far, so if this can get the right MOQ I'm in for it too.

[pixelpirate]

I also would like to suggest another color combination:  Blue Toro on Dark Grey key.

[naisanza]

I just put down my order, but I would also love the white-on-black one!!

[rainb1ood]

form filled and ordered! this is awesome!

[metalliqaz]

I have never seen that thing before in my life...

[elton5354]

What about grey on green?

[Lelouch Leonhart]

Hi! I want to make an order too, but I want to wait until the 4th type is released. My vote is for Green on white! Should this pass I'd be ordering at least one of each! Hope there is a reminder from Keypop to their subscribed fans that a new Toro type will be available so I don't happen to forget! Kind regards!

[blueasjim]

So if there is a 4th color one added, do we make a separate order or just PM you to add on. I wasn't aware more colors were being added. Thanks.

[KeyPop]

We will continue taking count on the demand of the other variations of colors for now before we make a choice to add a new color. The more colors we have, the more keycaps. Although we'd love to have plenty of different variants, having too many color choices is too much work for us to sort out. But if the demand is large we will try to squeeze in 1 or 2 colors.

If by any chance a 4th or 5th color will be added you are free to submit another form but we'd strongly ask that you PM us here or drop us an email at Sales@keypop.net

Order numbers have been updated and we are already almost reaching the 500 keycap price tier for the Blue Toro keycaps!

Good to know. Thanks for timely reply. 

[whiskytango]

So how are you measuring demand for the alternate colors? Should people just post up which one they like? Or is there a form? If there is not a form, may I suggest a form to vote on a 4th (or 5th) color choice?

I vote for white legend on black keys.
Orange or yellow (or whatever that is) legends on black is a close second for me.
I would buy both.

We're currently working on a form for you guys to fill out. We will post it after nokcha gets back from work and I talk it out with him.
