The first SuperConductor Turtles starting to come off the CNC machine (actually, I already have one made and shipped).

But I did some pricing calculations -- as well as being able to source some more pieces (it's so damn hard to get hold of). And I am able to get them down to the $600 range (not the $1000 I was expecting).

I trialed this last year (when we had a good run of pens coming off the CNC machine) and it worked very well (at least for the Customer who managed to grab every single one I offered!).

Unfortunately, on our side, we're REALLY having to work hard for our money on these (it's such a good deal for you).

I am FINALLY managing to get a decent number of E48 "X" plates off the machine.

It's probably still not enough - but it's way better than the last few weeks.

So far quite a number of people have said these are the best plates they've ever tried. I am happy to hear this ...but definitely want to wait a bit long and get more into people's hands - because that's when the REAL testing starts!

Here's some work-in-progress of these plates:

I know this looks vaguely familiar to the "piranha" slider we did at the end of last year - but the final result will be a bit different.

I'll just leave this here for now - but should have something SOLID and TANGIBLE to show you in the next few days. :-)
