First things first. People will be asking a few questions so I've compiled a quick FAQ:
Why the sudden R4.5?
I've accidentally oversold a few hundred units of 62g Zealios. Other weights have not been confirmed yet, but I suspect may have also oversold a few hundred+ units. I usually try to keep a healthy buffer as inventory to prevent this from happening, but a minor record keeping error/glitch in the system caused more switches to be sold than originally allowed. Quite an embarrassing ****-up, and measures have been taken to make sure this doesn't happen again. Sorry in advance to those that are affected.
Any new changes?
No, no changes will be made. R4.5 will literally be an extension to R4.
When does the GB End?
Dec 25, 11:59pm PST. As per all my GBs, pre-order pricing will kick in after that time.
When do you expect to start shipping GB/pre-orders?
I expect to receive the shipment from Gateron before end of January (right before Chinese New Years), and will start pumping out orders in February or earlier, if shipment arrives early.
Will this affect my current order in R4?
In most cases, no. You will be contacted if you are one of the few that are affected. R4 orders are still being shipped daily and the goal is to get everyone's order (wherever possible) out before the holiday seasons.
Second round of Zeal60?
Zeal60 second round will be pushed back a bit. Probably will come back for Round 5 Zealio GB.
Lots of people have been PMing/emailing me for another round of Zealencios, so they'll be offered in this quick R4.5 as well. Likewise, screw-in stabs will also be offered at GB price.
