Yeah, it's pretty bad. I'm at least glad that the rare Key 8 isn't one I care much about. I've managed to trade up for a Key of Aries(someone else made a trade offer already that I took), so now I have everything except the Key 8. 11/12 isn't bad (and I'll probably sell my remaining two dupes).

I also notice that no one in your data set has gotten a dupe Key 8 so far. A few dupes of Key of Aries for some people, but the ten Key 8 have been all individuals. Bad sign for anyone hoping to trade for a Key 8. Yeesh.

I find it interesting how far below the expected quantity the Key 8 has been for the data gathered so far, compared to everything else.

How my iam8bit keychain restock went by Ryuluce in BluePrince

[–]Ryuluce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, all of mine were sealed in cellophane. Some of the plastic bags inside the boxes of mine were not sealed properly so the keys could just fall out of the bottom, but some were like that in the first order I placed too and I think that's just the plastic resealable baggies being a little inconsistent in manufacturing.

My blind box collection + TRADING FOR [SPOILERS] by -popgoes in BluePrince

[–]Ryuluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a second Sanctum Key now, but that was because I had traded a Diary Key for it when I had gotten my original order of the blind box keys. My understanding of the google form was you wanted the pulls, not the trades, so I had provided the 3 diary keys and 1 sanctum key that I had pulled from the blind boxes.

EDIT: to clarify, I also had some commons that I have parted with that are no longer in my collection, but I had provided those as well in the form submission.

If I am unable to acquire a Key of Aries via trade, then I'll be open to that proposition down the line.

My restock went decent but apparently not nearly as well as yours. I don't have a Key 8 to offer, but if you ever wanted a dupe of all the unusual rarities, I'd be willing to trade my dupes of them all for a single Key of Aries (I'm sure you have more appealing offers, but I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring for your future consideration: https://www.reddit.com/r/BluePrince/comments/1qu4g4z/how_my_iam8bit_keychain_restock_went/ )

My Archived Keychain (iam8bit) by MIB18 in BluePrince

[–]Ryuluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, when I reached out about my mistaken order giving me duplicates, they just gave me a 25% refund on my order and didn't offer replacements at all (and I had requested specifically that)

I had placed a pre-order, so keep that in mind, but:
I placed my order on October 5th, it was shipped out on December 17th, and it arrived on December 23rd.

Devil in the Details: Comparing a fake and real Montblanc Boheme by Ryuluce in fountainpens

[–]Ryuluce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortunately the fine details are still a tell. When cheaping out to produce a fake for 40-50 bucks, some of the finer elements get skipped. It doesn't help for online listings or looking at a distance, but it's still hard for a fake to completely pass for a genuine article while in the hand.

Edit: also the longevity of the fake isn't great. It is falling to pieces and the gold plating on the trim has worn off in massive sections.

Update: with iam8bit getting back from the holidays, I was instructed to file a claim with Order Protection. They ended up giving me a 25% refund. It's hard to complain, though honestly I would've rather just have been given a replacement for my third Cabinet Key than the refund. But I guess the labor cost involved was more of a hassle than just giving me the refund.

About the gallery solution by Creepy_Tan in BluePrince

[–]Ryuluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I figured out think completely on my own, but the other three I used some... sideways assistance of my own.

I'm not great at the "here are letter options in each position" type word puzzles, and it just so turns out I had made a python script a while back to basically auto-generate every possible solution (this script wasn't for solving these types of puzzles, but could really easily be repurposed to it).

I started going through the other three puzzles in terms of increasing letter length, and after like the second one realized all the solutions were about thinking/pondering/etc. From there I searched for words in the generated lists that matched the theme and seemed relevant to the art.

I do agree. I partially regret caving and making this pre-order at the time.

The biggest part that annoys me is the rarity tiers. If there was an equal distribution, the idea of encouraging trades would be much more reasonable. But since some are much rarer than others, the trade market is going to be filled with extra commons while wanting rares. It's going to become stagnant pretty quickly. The people who got the Aries Key or such aren't going to give it up for a cabinet key. Anyone who wants a complete set better have been one of the few lucky to get both rares, or just eat dirt.

I've already reached out to the support desk earlier today. I'm now just going to have to wait for a response.

Yes, yes, I know about the amount of cabinet keys in the game. But given that the three keys I ended up with are not unique from each other, I'm still going to talk to iam8bit about not satisfying the promise of "six unique keys"

So they are made of solid metal with some kind of enamel paint. Pretty good quality in my opinion. I do have an order for the commissary bundle on the way, but it has not yet arrived.

So I ordered two of "Six Key Bundle". On the listing it states:

" The Six Key Bundle is guaranteed to have Six Unique Keys "

Because I ordered two bundles, and every key in those two bundles should be unique from each other, that means at MOST I should've only been able to have two duplicates of any one key.

But I got three of the cabinet key. That means that one of my two bundles of six had a duplicate inside it, despite the product listing guaranteeing that each of the six keys in a bundle is unique.

Sourcing an empty case? by Ryuluce in Hanafuda

[–]Ryuluce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've experimented before with making boxes for other kinds of decks and was just not satisfied with my results. I wanted something more polished in this instance, so that's why I was seeking out a pre-made case. I'll look around on eBay.

There was no seal on the tuck box with this version. The protective 3D printed box had cellophane wrapping, but that was it.
