Edit: Got the tracking number, thanks!

I got a huge box delivered to me a few minutes ago!

It contains both my Round 5 order and the SurpriseBox. More on Round 5 elsewhere, but the surprise box alone is amazing, I can't wipe the smile off my face. Folks, this has totally gotten out of hands!

I might have to take a few days to look through all of this.

7bit, I see your fingerprints (and labels) all over this! What have you taken out?

I will take a picture of what I took out in a few days.

BTW: Not everything I put a label on is my contribution. Just had to re-package some things.

The Surprise Box is on its way to HAL in Austria. I'll take a picture of what I took out tonight or tomorrow.

I wasn't able to adhere to rules 4 and 5 though. Err, by far...

We changed the order a bit because Ascaii already had the box and madhias is on holiday atm.

So the next ones are now:
HAL( Austria )
madhias ( Austria )
scottc( Ireland )

Here's what I took out:

HyperMicro prototype case (YAY!

), some Round5 and other grab keycaps, some electronics stuff.

Not in the picture: another Round 5 blank cap that's already on a keyboard, a Cherry plastic bag.

Of course I put in sundry lovely odds and ends for you to enjoy, too.

"LUCKY PICK"!

Nice, that case is awesome.

scottc · 09 Sep 2015, 00:50

I'm so excited! The HyperMicro case is an amazing catch, very jealous.

LUCKY PICK indeed!

7bit · 09 Sep 2015, 15:04

Only 8 people?

Yep

I made 8 of them last year, custom order at DecentKeyboards in Japan. I won't make more

gogusrl · 09 Sep 2015, 15:19

I had no clue they're that rare. Pretty much my favorite novelty keycap. I'd take this one over a clack every day. or take the clack, sell it and make 100 of these

andrewjoy · 09 Sep 2015, 15:46

There are sgi ones out there somwhere right ? Would love one of them.

Glad you like it

They're rare a quite expensive for a dyesub cap, but it was fun to make them and had also a meaning to me and this is also why I gifted all but one. It was a little project alinh and I had back then, I've had 5 and he 3.

The SGI ones can still be bought from DecentKeyboards, the SUN ones were my design and are not available on his shop.

7bit · 09 Sep 2015, 17:55

Then, thanks a lot DanielT!

Halvar · 19 Sep 2015, 22:16

Thanks to you, 7bit, for the generous amount of stuff you put in!

HAL, did you get the box? Everything OK with it?

*Moved Scottc to end of UK list upon request*

Muirium · 04 Oct 2015, 20:21

Where is the parcel now?

I'm in America starting mid December.

jacobolus · 05 Oct 2015, 05:16

Muirium: as in moving permanently, or just visiting? Are you going to be CA again sometime?

chzel · 05 Oct 2015, 06:56

He's on a quest, to bring the Unicomp GB home!

andrewjoy · 05 Oct 2015, 11:03

I totally forgot about that.

Did i have anything in it again i cannot remember.

Muirium · 05 Oct 2015, 16:24

I shall endeavour not to abuse that fact!

@Jacobolus: Just another visit. I'll be in southern California late December and January. Picking up a lot of stuff I had to leave behind before. Not sure if any of it is Andy's though…

It should be at HAL.....

Madhias · 13 Oct 2015, 13:28

And from HAL I got the box yesterday, delivered by himself! He got a hot tea, and I the now very, very heavy box!

Muirium · 13 Oct 2015, 14:04

It's full of 77 key Kishsavers, isn't it? With a handwritten note: PLEASE TAKE ONLY ONE. LOVE, TINNIE.

HAL · 23 Oct 2015, 21:12

I mixed it up. I intended to send this to Madhias. But then I gave him the wrong box
