Dear Customers,
It’s with great regret to inform you that as of this time the group-buy from BSP is cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused everyone involved. If you are affected please take the time to read the following details of our situation and our plans moving forward.
Our intention to run a BSP group-buy to the end has always been a top priority, and we can only hope the following explanation will help to detail how this buy has failed. In February of this year our team used a broker to develop relations with BSP Asia, Logicalkeyboard, to provide us with blank keycaps for our group-buy projects including single 1u caps. With our brokered relationship with BSP appearing secure we proposed our first group-buy for high quality PBT dyesub reissues of classic Cherry keycaps. The reception of this group-buy was very popular and we quickly procured samples of a dyesub product through our contacts. After posting the sample images our group-buy expanded globally. We were encouraged by the public reception of our samples and excited to offer these high quality sets. The months which followed became a nightmare which ultimately lead us to today.
After collecting all the orders from all of our vendors globally and submitted documentation through our broker we received no response. We began to seek further clarity and reached out to BSP, Logicalkeyboard, directly. When direct communication was finally accomplished we were told PBT keycaps are no longer an item which can be ordered . We really wanted to make this work for everyone - the members, Massdrop and the design of the keycaps.After all, BSP keycaps is one of the most authentic cherry sets for keyboard enthusiasts. In the end, after long sessions of communication our offers to increase the MOQ, and even offers to purchase the molding from Logicalkeyboard were ultimately ignored. We feel a great deal of remorse and guilt in cancelling this group-buy. We were unable to reissue caps or save the old original Cherry pbt mold. As we have come to know, BSP sublimation keycap production is very expensive outside of Europe. Changing international trade climate high postage and tariffs between Europe to Asia makes reopening relationships impossible. While we are apologetic we also have a plan to resolve this problem in the long term.
We are launching a new product we will call H(ammer)SP. Our goal is to retool and improve upon the best features of what made BSP keycaps a true legacy product. For those who wish to remain in our group buy we are offering two complete the sets of HSP for each set of BSP ordered; one set for your original order, another will be the never-sold Cyrillic or Hebrew dye-subbed set. The Hebrew and Cyrillic sets will be distributed randomly, For example, if an Arabic set was ordered a customer would receive either a Cyrillic or Hebrew set in addition to the Arabic. The difference in between the original order and HSP is the keycaps will not be made by BSP. We will also offer refunds for anyone in the group buy who would like it, please reach out to Massdrop Support for the refund/cancellation
The HSP keycaps are similar to the BSP in profile, feeling, and color. In addition to doing our best to recreate these qualities we have improved the following defects we felt were not a feature of the product:
To be clear about our plans for production after completing our duty to existing customers we will have four sets planned for regular release: Original Tulip \ Tulip GK \ APL \ Arabic. Our price for future group-buys will be announced soon and set a new standard for affordable quality.
Sincerely,
Team Hammer

@XiK Hey guys! Sorry if this has been asked before but I had a question.
If you had more then 1 order of BSP in the original drop, do you get that many equivalent free sets?
1 BSP order = total of 2 HSP 2 BSP order (within the same transaction) = total of 4 HSP 3 BSP order = total of 6 HSP
I ask because some people ordered 3 BSP keysets. HSP keysets are around $95 in the China GB happening right now so the "free" set is really just because HSP is that much cheaper vs the $180 or so we paid per BSP keyset. So if they ordered 3 keysets, they should received 3 "free" keysets.
If this is not how it works, can those people modify their orders to only 1 keyset? So they originally ordered 3, get refunded for 2 sets, and stay in the drop for 1 set (but still get their free set) or will they have to cancel entirely?
Thanks!

Hamm3rAny update? BTW, since these sets are now HSP, would it be possible to just the receive the sets I ordered but with a 50% discount plus discounts for any add-ons no longer available?
Edit: Never mind. I see my questions were previously answered.

New Update 10/29/2018!
#After group discussion, we are going to give up the name HSP and replace it with Binge's idea – 🐟CRP
( Classical Reissue Profile ).
#In order to prevent you from getting the same sets, we decided to make them correspond one by one.
BSP Tulip OG -> CRP Tulip OG + CRP Hebrew Green
BSP Tulip GK -> CRP Tulip GK + CRP Hebrew Blue
BSP Arabic -> CRP Arabic + CRP Cyrillic ( Moscow Night )
BSP APL -> CRP APL + CRP JIPink ( Sakura Rain )
And here they are

Hamm3rSince I'm in for OG Tulip, I'll be getting Green Hebrew, which I don't really want. If there's any way to change this or if there's anyone out there who wants to trade for it, please pm me. /u/pulseforce

Hammer likely means the caps shipped were to Massdrop. Massdrop is responsible for fulfillment.

If your keyboards isn't compatible with this set, it's time to get a new keyboard kiddos.

I'd like to buy an Arabic set but I think the price needs to be adjusted to reflect the actual cost of what was delivered.
The total for one set ($175) turned out to be the total for two sets and so for every one ANSI kit purchased in the original drop, two were given to the buyer. The overall price for one of these ANSI kits shouldn't be more than $80-90.

So I read in a comment in here you do all the dye-subbing for these sets yourself? Just you?? If so, that is amazing! Whenever I hear about BSP I always hear about the dye-sub quality, the fact that one person does this alone is really impressive.

Hi friends,
As you guys may know, the orders for the Hammer BSP Classic Beige PBT Dye-Subbed Keycap Set were cancelled due to a logistics issue that we encountered with the drop. This resulted in everyone’s transaction in the drop being cancelled and your payment being refunded.
After a bit of work with our engineering team, we were able to find a way to have you rejoin the Hammer BSP Classic Beige PBT Dye-Subbed Keycap Set/ Dr. Click drops. Our workaround was to make it so that the drop orders all registered as failed payments, which will allow you to go back into your transaction to re-submit your payment info to get added back in and have your payment charged. This option will have a cutoff of November 9th, 2018, so make sure that you rejoin by that date if you still want your order.
If you are interested in re-joining the drop, please follow these directions:
1. First head over to your Massdrop Transactions page here: https://www.massdrop.com/transactions
On your Transactions page, you should see a notification that says “The following payment may require your attention __”.
2. Underneath that banner, you’ll see your transaction for the Hammer BSP Classic Beige PBT Dye-Subbed Keycap Set. At the bottom of the order summary will be a red “Payment Error”. Please click there, where it says “ Retry Payment”

@XiK I'd love to know how I can receive my package. I assume it should bounce back to the sender if it cannot be delivered and nobody feels like paying for it. When that happens can someone finally slap the correct address on and send it to me? Who can I get in contact with?

XiK@XiK I don't know if you have any form of contact with Hammer but would you happen to know the status of the defective cap replacements? I have been waiting months upon months for even a reply to my message to him on GH for replacements since some of my sets came with a LOT of warped and misaligned caps and I really want to get replacements for them soon.
