We will not be able to get the Cherry keys redone. I spoke with the Cherry China representative, and he said they wouldn't allow the usage of any Cherry logo for keycaps. He wouldn't even consider letting me place an order for those keycaps directly with him

Einschreiben HYPE!
No, seriously, can't wait. My 60% has been without keycaps for too long!

That moment when you get three notifications from your postman and only know what two of those are...

What a pity!
Since they had 'the first version of cherry logo' led caps made in last 1953 retro GB, why don't they also consider the red one?
Might be their future business plan so no other party allowed as this red cherry led key must be hot in the market.

That's really a pity, as they are very decorative indeed.

Back to topics:
The postman just brought my caps (as a registered letter) - thanks, Wodan, for this brilliant GB
At first glance I can see no difference between e.g. the 1.25u Control cap from this set and its original Cherry counterpart.
I'll make a more thorough inspection later.

Received them yesterday, just had to scrape them from the post office.
FINALLY, I had almost given up hope to ever complete this layout:
//e also the actual HADapter part is still really useful for an ISO board and HFD set I have.
Thanks for making this thing happen Wodan :)!

quite nice layout @kekstee
It would be perfect with the DT cap instead of the red Esc though! hehe (let's get more proud to be DT members guys

I hope that you do not mind if I borrow your pictures to show them at GH, with the proper credits on your behalf, of course; it is just to share the diamonds in real life.

The last orders have been handed over to the local post office.
All orders are tracked BUT please don't bug me about tracking information before 1 week (German orders), 2 weeks (EU orders) and 4 weeks (International orders)
Problem is I took a picture of EVERY package I finished and have to find your package-picture and read the tracking number from the picture. I will only do so if there is reason for concern about your shipment.

Still no package, GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE tracking number the tension is killing me already...................................
j/k, I'll calm myself with a Vorschlaghammer. The pics are beautiful. Now I need a HAD

The post office people are super awesome. It's a little local store that also accepts packages and is the go-to guy in this town. So I just went there, dropped 50 boxes and came back 4h later to pick up the receipts and 2-3 packages that were missing a customs declaraion. WTF ICELAND ?!

I would like to recall that the interest check started on
10 May 2016 and the group buy on
16 June 2016.
That means less than 2 months since the beginning of the discussion about this set
and only 7 weeks (!) since the start of the GB.
And I would like to recall that Wodan took all the risk by paying up front.
Thanks again, Wodan.
