    From the same guy I got the Charred Orange from. SpamRay.
    I asked him if he was selling anything else and he told me. :D

    Also, got this today:

    Macross - Skull Squadron set. The complete edition. :rock:

    Unfortunately I did have to pay an additional €30 in customs. :waah:

    More pics here.

    EDIT: I finally buckled and bought myself an IMGUR Pro account. Went wild with all the albums and pictures;

    That much?! Seems excessive for the value of your order :/

    Looks good, anyway!

    It is, they always charge a €12,50 'handling fee'. Like I care they feel like they need to open it to inspect it. :(

    Looks really good. If they had a normal spacebar I'd have bought one by now and scrounged for the other round 5 bits I'd need...

    I seriously toyed with the idea of a colourful case, but eventually decided on a boring black one :(

    Still, vinyl dye exists should I ever change my mind...

    The coloured cases and dyesubbed PBT caps on the new FC600M have really tempted me, I am still owed a birthday present from my girlfriend so this could be ideal... The only issue is that there is no option for clears with these models.

    I will probably end up with black, grey, or white anyway, as I would worry about getting bored of blue or red or spend my life chasing caps to match :hehe:

    I don't think there's many caps that'll fit those - the spacebar (and possibly right shift) are too different to find...

    right shift is the same size as left shift - but the space bar is stupid.

    Remind me - is it the stab spacing, or the general size of the space bar?

    Stab spacing. In theory a new plate could solve the problem.
    The spacebar is a very standard 6.25x one

    Just sent fella - you want any clears in return for browns? Or are you literally swimming in switches? That would be uncomfortable in the extreme. I stood full force barefoot on a LEGO block last night and the air was as blue as you like.

    Oh treading on lego. Ouch - it's savage. In a similar vein, anyone that says that they have never sworn in their life has never stepped upon an upturned plug. I'm pretty sure that there's nothing worse...

    True dat. I've trodden on an MX black in slippers before, the solder legs embedded themselves in to the rubber sole and just missed the softest part of my foot.

    The oddest thing about stepping on a 3-pin plug is that the pain levels are on a par with childbirth/testicle in a vice, yet there is rarely any visible injury to the foot. Hmm.

    Real men wear slippers. Fact.

    It's funny isn't it - but then a testicle in a vice would cause pain at the level that would cause one to pass out long before it did any visible damage, I suspect...

    No shirts you are alright, I have ample switches, and I don't like the browns :) I have the exact amount of ergo clears that I need for that numpad, and I won't find another use for those.

    I will send you both your bits tomorrow.
