Guys this is really cool and I will buy one, but the next merchandise item really needs to have this incorporated somehow:

Is there a limit on how many USB drives are available? (i.e. i'm broke atm and have some priorities atm but i'll have money in like 1-2 months)

edit: nvm just noticed the oct deadline, any chance any more of these will be made in the future?

There'll be 100 available, as that's the minimum order required - and so far it doesn't look like we need to order any more than that.

So I've payed 30 bucks yesterday and still haven't gotten my codex-usb!!! Where's my fucking product, you steaming pile of dino-turd?!?

Btw. I assume my amassed amount of potato provides me some measure of diplomatic immunity?

1805 looks pretty good. :rpgcodex:

Hey, did anyone by chance run to a local paint store and grab those color swatches to see the color in daylight or w/e?
Just saying that looking at colors on screen is different than physically under incandescent light (I'm sure you guys know that already)
Then painting white plastic will render the red a lighter shade than possibly intended-maybe ending in pink thumb drives :P
I guess Jaesun would be thrilled ...maybe Crispy types not so much :P

Most of these will be used in dim basements, should be close enough to match the forum trolls on the nearby 16-colour VGA monitors. :obviously:

Debating the shades of PMS red. This is the Codex in its purest form.

It is. Yet, showing this in public is bound to raise a few questions that are themselves bound to be embarassing.

Please have a look at the revised mockup for the troll. We have changed the the red shade into the pms 1797. We have also made the arms and the legs thicker. I was told that there will be space in between the arms and the legs because of the structure of the man/troll. The black outline will be the actual cut of the USB. Let me know what you think, if you have any revision or how you would like to proceed.​

Are we happy with that red? Seems a bit bright here.

Hah, if there's no white around it it might actually look decent. Just fix the back now.
No, I still won't buy it because I have other things to waste my money on, but I'm giving you valuable advice. :smug:

I would pick the colour that looks less gay.

Although many here are faggots and trannies, some of us aren't and want something classy and not disgusting and full of pussification. So pick the manly red, not the wussie red.

I'd go with a slightly darker red, like, ten-twenty percent darker.

I think 1805 might be best.

Updated the target to reflect selling all 100 (-PayPal fees). So as long as we've not reached that amount, we've still got more available.

If we do finish with some spares, I'll send a few to various game devs.

They're all the same device, darkness in the later one is just due to flash.

We're only ordering 100, and we have 30 left.
