Talk to SoCal Steve
We definitely don't want to leave people in the dark if they really want a set. Me and Steve have put our own money into these and neither one of us are rolling so as I speak for myself I have put in all I can to make this work. I would say that to help up put in a deposit to Steve, whatever he decides the amount is. But that would reserve one for yourself and allow him to have the money to make the molds well and to shoot them out in plastic. The "no" "geometric answer" will be cast in red plastic, the "neutral" "geometric answer" will be cast in blue, and the "yes" "geometric answer" will be cast in yellow. That way they are durable you can drop them and nothing should happen. We aren't making a killing on these we were talking about using any profits to possibly just do a second run. So I would say if you want a set simply throw down 33% ($35?) which is the cost of one and it would reserve you a set. Talk to Steve though. I hope we don't get sued, each one is different than the zero hour one. The neutral "geometric answer" has about 3-5 different morph shapes and I chose that one because it's the one I liked best. It will be a month or two at least before we have these ready to ship out so if you leave a deposit I am pretty sure that should seal yours in. If it takes a minute for you to get the money to Steve for the set than I don't think that will be a problem. Once again you must pay for shipping. I have no problem sending them overseas, USPS is rather cheap for that and once they are plastic you shouldn't get them damaged. Talk to Steve though. Let's figure out how to do this. Once again we were hoping to use the profits to do a second run.  Posted: Sat Sep 18, 2010 10:37 am |

Re: Master Set Completed!!!
They LOOK BAD ASS!!!

Those really look gorgeous. Thank you for putting in all this effort for everyone. And I wouldn't worry about the no points too much. I for one will want to pick them up and fondle them. Having the bit not cut my hand is not a bad thing.

They look fantastic! Well done!
I'm a very eager maybe & just trying to work out if I can afford them. When do you need an exact answer by? Posted: Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:25 am |

Master Set Completed!!!
They LOOK BAD ASS!!!
So here is the master set, they are enroute to Steve and awaiting the molding process.
The only thing that happened was that the "no" "geometric answer" was crazy difficult to model. The points on the long tendrils were extremely fine and they said that they hadn't really lasered anything out that fine before and it never really survives the process but this one did. A couple of the lips popped up by hardly noticeable. Steve's guy will either fix it or round down the other ones to match. Other than that these came out PERFECT!!! I have gorilla huge hands so me putting my hand next to these don't do them justice. They are 5" squared and each one is equivalent to the size of a SOFTBALL!!! They came out so great I can't wait to see them in color.

OK, officially interested now I've seen some pics... Although, I'm a little bit worried that payday isn't for a while, and I've got to somehow fit elecTRONica at Disney into my October TRON budget...
Not to mention a trip to England before Hallowe'en 
I'd be willing to pledge/pay a deposit... Can you break it down any further for this single income family man?  Posted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:51 pm |

Mystery Member revealed.
Yeah so it is SocalSteve and I working on these. The Yes "geometric answer" and Neutral "geometric answer" are being lasered out right now as we speak and I pick them up tomorrow so hopefully I will have some pictures up. Making the "no" "geometric answer" is proving really tricky so hopefully I will have that ready to laser out tomorrow.
Me and Steve aren't the richest people so what we may do is see if we can get a $25-$35 deposit from each person that wants one and that will cover the cost of our supplies to produce 30 sets. Then you will just owe the difference. The bits that were made for the zero hour were done on an older machine and if you will notice they were lasered with somewhat notched layers. The ones we are doing are officially 5" squared and will be much much smoother and more realistic. So I will hopefully be posting some pictures tomorrow assuming the machine doesn't mess up. There was a type there I just fixed it. Steve and I are NOT rich, trust me... Sorry is that made me sound like an ass cause it did.  Posted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:23 pm |

3D Geometric shapes
and more
hey guys. Sorry I don't post much anymore, my computer hides the reply box when I try to add to a thread. I can still pm fine. I ask some people to post stuff for me. Some do,some don't.
the 3D geometric shapes are coming together well. "diamond" and "ball" masters are being lasered today by the ape! I've got a prototype toy company that's willing to mold and cast the "shapes" after that. in addition, some of you were interested in having the FL badges turned into pins. Assuming there's currently 22 pins, would any of you be willing to buy the set if it cost $4 a pin? Of course it would be professional quality. Metal, not some cheap junk.

embedded pictures.
Don't worry in a few days we should have pictures of the master set of "geometric answers" to put up and the gifs will be unnecessary.
Updates coming. Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2010 8:26 pm |

Re: Tron Bit Models
the no bit will be the hardest
It is generally a kindness to not embed images, especially ones with a long load time, but just give the links for people to click on. Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2010 7:54 pm |
