I think the Round 5 leftovers already exist, all of them.

The term "leftovers" is a little misleading here. With round 6, the leftovers (for phase 2 anyway) refers to what hasn't been ordered from the keys 7bit has requested SP produce.
Keys from round 5, and round 6 phase 1 have been manufactured so those are "in stock".

eddible is correct.

It is confusing because the Honeywell colors are the same between rounds, but the item codes are different:

HONEY are the Honeywell colors (white, black, GPA gray, and red) from Round 5.
HONEYB are the (same) Honeywell colors from Round 6.

Anything with a "G" in the item code means it is, or comes from, a "grabbag" of random leftovers. Leftovers from Round 5 are available now and will be shipped to you immediately unless you combine shipping with Round 6 Honeywell keycaps (what are now referred to as "phase 2"). Leftovers from Round 6 phase 2 do not yet exist, but they are leftovers in the sense that no one else has pre-ordered them and are still available for pre-order.

Bear in mind that the list of leftovers may not be accurate on the Wiki because 7bit is missing some crucial information from previous collectors. If you try to order something and it does not appear on your invoice, then it is not actually available even if the Wiki says otherwise at the moment.

So I'm correct. (or am I?)
Anything in Round 5 and Round 6 leftover ending with /GREY (e.g. HONEY/.../GREY and HONEYB/.../GREY) is not yet produced, unless they're from the Grabbag, e.g. HONEYG.

Note that HONEY was the prefix for R5 kits, so any item HONEY/* has already shipped or is a Round 5 leftover in stock.

Almost.

Anything starting with HONEY is Round 5 and has been out for over a year, and the leftovers are available for shipment now. Anything starting with HONEYB is Round 6 (phase 2) and has not yet been produced. Those leftovers are available for pre-order but can not be shipped until they get made.

If it's your first GB with 7bit, this is understandable but it's just the way that these buys go.
Waaaay back when I got my first mechanical keyboard, I ordered Round 5 to go on it.
By the time I got them, I had 3 mechanical keyboards and 2 other keycap sets that were ordered long after Round 5; and I wasn't even early on the group buy. Many people waited far longer than I did.

There's no fraud going on, and while it is arguably pretty unorganised I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's incompetence.
The final product is fantastic, the Round 5 stuff that I have is one of my favourite sets. You just need to be super patient if you want these keycaps.
Keep in mind also that 7bit is a one-man operation. The logistics of sorting, packing, and shipping that many orders is mind boggling.

I'm not sure how many group buys you've been a part of, but if you're just getting into it; patience is par for the course.
There's only a couple of manufacturers that can produce SA profile, and the lead times are huge.
I ordered 1965 SA at the beginning of December and (if there's no hiccups) I won't see those caps until July.

There is a patience to this community which many find hard to deal with (myself included). What's particularly annoying is that the many stock keysets just don't appeal to the customer base - who want caps that reflect their personality.

Maybe in the future there will be no need for group buys for keysets that decorate our boards, and set them apart from what's standard - because there will be many more cap makers competing with one-another for our keycap budgets.

And the fact that so many customers endure such long lead times and such high prices for what amounts to plastic cubes is evidence of market potential.

So that day will come.

But until then, make a cup of tea/coffee, sit back, enjoy some netflix, and chill...

Inviting someone over for Netflix, chill, and waiting for a 7bit GB to complete – is that like some roundabout way of asking someone to come live with you indefefinitely? :-D

So Round 5a (aka Round 6 aka phase 2) isnt produced yet :?

I ordered more, but before I pay I want to make sure the order will ship separately. How do I instruct the bot to ships those, or any other available items from my original kit, as soon as payment is made? (Well as soon as 7bit gets to them.)

Would the same apply to 0873? since it was on the already packed list, or is it going on the next batch? :)

I want to know more about the new Grabbag kit HONEYG/SYMBOLS/A and B, are they SPH (i.e. GD Grey) or are they from earlier HONEY rounds so in GPA Grey?

Within this grabbag, I just want 8 keys on R3: "HONEYB/SYMBOLS/R3/GREY" on R6 leftover, but now I know that HONEYB/.../GREY (GPA Grey) is not yet produced so I want to know if the color is GPA or GD.

Also, I including only those ready-to-ship kits in my invoice (i.e. HONEY, HONEYB/SPH, HONEYB/CADET, HONEYG), but there're still two lines of shipping fee:
|Shipping costs | | | | 7.00
|Shipping costs R6 | | | | 7.00
Summing up to 14.

When, if ever, can we reasonably expect to receive our Phase 2 orders.
Built a custom project around these keys and I've been typing on stems for months.
And now it looks like it would be faster and cheaper to order Matt3os kit from PMK.

Would appreciate some more transparency regarding the situation, this is meant to be a group buy after all.
