They launched a WhatsApp community / group for the people who paid the $2 prelaunch comission. I assume most of you guys are there? For the rest, here is what I understood: The price stays at $549 for those who paid the $2 on the first prelaunch. And they get the Kickstarter link first. Also the first 1 to 777 models of each colour will be available as Founder's Edition for an extra $99. The Founder's Edition will be individually numbered and have a badge on the 777, the strap and a COA (whatever a COA is). But it will cost you an extra $99.
The 'new' price of $649 is for people who missed the first reservation as Reli stated already. If you missed the first prelaunch you get sent a second mail where you can reserve your model for $649 by paying $10 upfront.
Did I miss anything and did I get everything right?
Did this just get price jacked for the Founder's Edition to $749 up from $649?
Also, the founder edition isn't just a $99 upgrade for those of us that signed up for the VIP $549 that held a spot for $2 prelaunch?
Sounds like they are making this more confusing than anything for a few extra $$...... I'm not going to pay another $200 for a strap and a limited edition tag.....
