Everything is fine it was just a little pun @Heliosurge because he tried to jump at me and accused me of sepculating even though i only responded to a press release and the statement that Pimax made to park.

So the statement by park was right and the press release that they are selling the Pimax in Korea and shipping it in 2 days seems to be true.

Well i guess the bundle is meant for guys who want a complete set and for that it is a good price.

@Digital. Trevor Is likely quite right. We know that pimax has several products only rekeased in :kr: like pimax pro using the og 4k housing & what looked to be 3glasses controller wands.

A smart retailer would have jumped in as a pimax backer & bought multiple pledges & or party packs. Knowing the ks price would be far below what they would be able to purchase for retail sale.

It also makes sense that a seperate production line dedicated to the Korean market as that was there major customer with original pimax products.

So until pimax says or priven otherwise. I’d say the mystery is solved.

If I had had the capital. I would have bought a party pack.

Accessories from the kickstarter couls be sold later further improving financial gains to buy full release.

Your a genius Trevor! This makes perfect sense & a good business that had already had trust in pimax brand would surely have the insight & capital to invest. :beers::sunglasses::+1::sparkles:

And now you have valid speculation as how it could be done without going against backer commitments.

@Heliosurge if you think you are funny or smart let me tell you, you are not. If the story is true and they are not simply backpaddling this is another colossal communication fuck up by Pimax!

Doing business this way is a big no no. Not only causes it a lot of headache, it actually costs them(Allip) money and poses the risk of legal problems depending on the the local laws.

But yeah maybe i just missed the funny part of your post and i can laugh about it later.

Another speculationI heard Kim yung un got a 5kBE also, i hope he isn’t going to play fallout dough :stuck_out_tongue:

I think it’s funny to see you arguing with common sense, it is as if you are expecting to have your opinion validated by posting here and are getting emotionally distressed when that was not the outcome.

WTF are you even talking about?

People need to realize what Pimax stated before.

They are running three different production lines. Two for Backers/Pre-Orders and one (which they were going to start around christmas) just for retail orders- serving big orders first i guess.

Thats not the problem, problem is that over 2000 are not even quality controlled waiting in the warehouse… If they are suddenly available, that means they lied when they said backers first…
@anon74848233 please clearify this for us, before the discussions go wild…

It would have taken Pimax 2min. to clarify the situation but instead they deceided to let this unfold again.
And Instead of answering in 1 of the threads here it is a community member (park) who is doing their job to explain them (Pimax) and to clarify the situation.

The quality control issue is the next thing i don’t understand, why if there are so many headsets sitting in their office why they are not able to ramp up the shipping. Testing this headsets can’t be rocket science.

It wouldn’t be a miscommunication by pimax but a presumption by backers wanting to cry foul. So no need to be funny as I was being serious. If I had the money to have invested in vr party pledges. I would be doing the same. So maybe relax.

We know Park was a tester outside of the kickstarter backer tester group. As was revealed with a leaked Park video until they contained their videos not showing outside Korea.
