So I have been needing to contact people individually about balance payment on these, but I just haven't had time. I'm actually at a point where I have to make another notice that any messages received in the next week or so may not get a response, I'm getting far too many messages to handle as one person. HOWEVER, if you are ready to pay your balance for the mini-cute preorders, please shoot me a message on whatever format we were in touch, and be comfortable to pay the remaining balance if you have all the info you need. I will respond with a confirmation of the record when I receive it!
Other news, I am starting a batch buy of buttons, joysticks, and PSUs. The buttons/sticks will be $75, PSUs $25, pending confirmation of order. I'm probably going to have to order 80 sets just in case, though I know some of you will probably get your own. It's a LOT of money out-of-pocket for me to do this, and I'm asking very near at-cost for the stuff, the price is set.. Here's what each set at $100 would get you:
Seimitsu LB-35 Balltop (Red) x1
Seimitsu LB-35 Balltop (Blue) x1
Seimitsu LS-32-SE Joystick x2
Seimitsu PS-14-D (Red) x1
Seimitsu PS-14-D (Blue) x1
Seimitsu PS-14-G (Red) x6
Seimitsu PS-14-G (Blue) x6
RT-125A Power Supply x1
I'll start taking payments for those once I address any concerns anyone might have and make the parts order. It's around $8,000 in parts, so just keep in mind it is a big investment to make this order for people. You aren't obligated to buy in, I'll sell any remaining parts later to recoup costs, but I'm not really making anything on it. The Seimitsu order will take 3 weeks to fulfill, and I'll be doing whatever is necessary to get it here from Japan around when the cutes arrive, so that everything can be packed together. I know it means a lot of payments are split up and whatnot, but it's really the easiest way I have at the moment to manage everything. Still need to figure out speakers for everyone, hopefully some info on that at a later date.
Any questions or concerns, you can ask me directly or post here, I'll answer anything I can. Otherwise, just send over the remaining balance on the preorders or get in touch with me about it, and we'll take things one step at a time. Looking forward to seeing these come in hot off the press!
EDIT: For reference, this is the joystick.
