We are excited to announce that we will be taking over the Hubble65 project from Mechs & Co.
Unfortunately, due to payment issues with M&C, the project was unable to be completed previously. However, we are in a position to move forward to help.
We have obtained the full contact list of buyers from the original group buy and will be reaching out to offer the units at a discounted rate. Buyers can purchase the raw "as is" units for approximately $90-100, or opt for Cerakote finished units for $40-50 more.
This pricing includes the complete kit. While we wish we could provide these units at no additional cost, we need to cover accrued expenses over time to mitigate losses.
Our goal is to sell these units as cost-effectively as possible.
This exclusive offer is available only to original group buy members, and orders must be placed using the email address originally used in the purchase.
After a short window of 2-3 days, any unsold units will be offered to the public at a higher rate (still at a reduced rate from that of the original group buy pricing).
Note that the original price was $495, we anticipate a lower public price of around $295ish raw and +$60-75 for Cerakote finished units.
The pricing was originally set to accommodate the vendor (M&C), the designer (Yoni Wolf), and the machinist/manufacturer (Salvun) while still maintaining profitability back in 2021's keyboard era. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer the original colors from the group buy, as we will need to resort to Cerakote finishing in-house.
However, we are offering a discount for the Cerakote option, priced at only $40-$50 more on top of your order—a significant saving from our usual $90 charge per piece for this 65% form factor size.
A select few colorways will be available to pick from, possibly a few "themed" units as well that will be distressed/battle-worn, splattered, or something else.
We look forward to finally bringing the Hubble65 to life and appreciate your understanding and continued support!
IF you're unfamiliar with Cerakote, I highly recommend giving this page a read, an information page going into a bit of detail on what we do exactly with "Cerakote" and what it can do for you. https://spaceholdings.net/pages/cerakote
Our friend Alexotos will also be building one unit on stream coming around the end of August.
