Hehe...well I'm quite enjoying the sound of Topre, I must admit. Couldn't point out if it's better sound than mx blues, but it's definitely nice.

Maybe I've overread it but keycap material is PBT with dyesubbed legends afaik.
If you go that route:

Unicomps' don't look even nearly as good as the model M in my opinion. I just have to think about it a bit, another HHKB for work or maybe buckling/beam spring direction and then there's the SSK ah...the choices. Can't buy everything, though. I'll see.

something popped up on german ebay just a few hours ago

in Germany which should spare you the hassle of tariff and taxes. Go for a german proxy on this forum if he refuses to sell international.

Thanks for the tip. I've spotted it before and yeah, he won't ship outside of DE.

Shipping from DE to Slovenia is 17€ tracked and insured for this, so ask around on the board for a proxy, I'm sure someone will help out. I can reship, however I won't pay upfront.

Alright, thanks! Of course I wouldn't expect somebody to pay it upfront for me!

It's called English for a reason!

Well I'm from Slovenia, hence my my opinion is obviously "very important", but I refuse to talk or write in American English. No offence to murricans, God bless you all or something, but it really does feel like unnecessary simplification of a beautiful language.

inb4 murricans can't say Aluminium.
EDIT: ^--- too late.
