Availability

• In-stock: 1000 units, available on November 14, shipping out within a few weeks.
• GB: The GB period will open a few weeks after the in-stock units sell out (currently working out the details), and will ship a few months after in typical GB fashion.

Pricing

359USD for in-stock, 329USD for GB.

Yeah, it's a bit higher than I prefer, but a few things added up:

- Steel weight to avoid the brass problems faced during Polaris
- Larger size and mass
- Hotswap sockets
- Currency exchange rates
- Much more complex design

Hopefully I can drop the price in the future as I improve my design skills for efficient production.
