M 5 Bravo & Stee-Gar

Cool thanks! I really do hope the orange is next, having both colors together I think is amazing, my greasebats need people to fight.....13:00 GMT will be 1PM eastern and not 1PM western right?

I believe GMT is Greenwich Mean Time.. It is the actual time (starting point) that the time zones count off from (i.e. GMT -6hrs = CST and such)..
However, due to Daylight Savings Time, CST (-6hrs) is currently CDT (Central Daylight Time = -5hrs)..

Due to DST, I think it will be at 9am EDT (Eastern Daylight Time).

Where I live (CST/CDT), it should be at 8am here (Central Time).

 

I think this chart shows the same thing. Just not sure the difference between EST and EDT and which would pertain to us east coast people....http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-z ... e/convert/

EST shows 8am and EDT shows 9am.

^If that is the correct time where you are at, then use EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)

"USA, Canada Clocks on Daylight Saving Time until 6 November 2011 at 2am local time
UK / Europe: Clocks on Summer Time until Sunday 30 October 2011 01:00 GMT"
So we are currently on Daylight Time = "DT" (i.e. EDT, CDT, MDT, and PDT) as opposed to Standart Time = "ST" (EST, CST, MST, PST).

But if you're still unsure, you can check at 8am, and if not, then 9am.

 

soooo... does this mean us west coasters got be up at 5am for this??? sorry im terrible with time conversions...

 

Edit* ... Check next post...

 

Wait a minute!!! Hold the phone here...
From the hours that everyone is going for, go one hour earlier!

I just thought of something...
What if, the person who sent the email is thinking of normal UK time...? They are technically on BST (British Summer Time) right now. However, he is probably used to just writing GMT all the time (like I am used to writing CST instead of CDT)..?

So, he might be actually talking about 13:00 BST which would make all of the hours off by one hour..

So, if by saying GMT, he really meant BST, people should check:

8:00am Eastern (EDT)
7:00am Central (CDT)
6:00am Mountain (MDT)
5:00am Pacific (PDT)

According to the time in the UK..
I will email them just to double check, but....
I would say to be safe, wake up one hour earlier..

Sorry to confuse people like this.. Glad I thought of this beforehand..

 

Oh God....what if he meant 1300 UTC ? I'm gonna be PiST

 

I must like these a lot to be up at this time on the West Coast.....

 

Right there with ya....although im in jersey so my 8am is nothing to your 5am.

 

No action. So back to bed.

Edit: Spoke to soon - now totally worth getting up so early

Hope u scored cag1000!

 

^^ yeah, same here..

I'm guessing they're using the actual Greenwich Mean Time, so we're early by one hour..
It's better to be safe than sorry though.

I did get an email from Dan (from the company, nice guy ) and he said that he wasn't sure either, but it was a good question. He said that basically "activation is automated by the paypal website so I am not sure."

But so far I see nothing up on their site.. It is the Unbox Industries website, isn't it?

Anywho, good luck to everyone!

 

Just got it!!!!!

Don't go back to bed get it now quick!!!

 

Wait, no it's up!

 

Already online and got them. They were 1 hour earlier
Anyway
Just a quick question: my Paypal payment appears at "to be picked up by the recipient", is it the case for you?

 

Thank you guys, especially the early birds. The last time I was up at 5AM I think I was stumbling in from a bar...!

 

Sold out, or as they say in Pittsburgh, Sold Aahht.

Thanks everybody, this is good news and will lead to future projects with Unbox!

 

awesome! congrats Jeff! i already can't wait for the next colorway!

 

you win some and you lose some. fingers crossed for the lottery, even though i really can afford it in this post-lucky bag pay period. congrats to those who secured the pair...can't wait to see pics of them in action! also dreaming of mix-n-match colorways, bumblebee striping, etc.

 

Actually not an hour earlier. For me these appeared a few minutes later than 13:00GMT. Strangely enough, the only country that is on GMT is Iceland. The UK is on BST.

Excited to see these in the flesh.

Strange how American Idols is becoming a much higher trafficked section for me. Offerings from Jeff, Rich and PK keep me here. And future offerings like Salamander Joe and Cannibal Fuckface keeps me coming back!

 

TRUE!!!

 

Anyone else's Paypal payment say "unclaimed?"
