Actually, even if you don't make MOQ, i think posting the numbers here would be an interesting data point to show the effects of advertising on group buy numbers.

Haven't had updates on numbers since mid-December but I'll try to get another estimate before the group buy ends

Please do. If you're close we can bang the drum a bit on other forums.

I wasn’t able to get exact figures but general consensus is that we’re not going to make it to MOQ.

Thanks for sticking around and supporting even though we made many mistakes. Hopefully we’re able to do a better job next time.

Good luck with your next set. The colors were a bit too crazy for me for this set, but look forward to what you come up with next.

Sidenote: the way that the key sets were arranged was super confusing. I suggest having each kit on one image.

An update on the exact numbers can help us out for the next time so we can know what kits were doing the best compared to other kits. Plus it's always nice to look at numbers and see how sets did in the past. dvorcol always makes those lovely graphs to show the progress of sets!

I agree with what DukeEsquire said about the kits.

With Kono as your vendor you need to do advertising / promos. They're great for running niche sets. They don't usually have the best prices (part of this is MOQ expectations and novelkeys penchant for 500 moq base). Oblotzky ran crimson cadet on novelkeys with a 115$ base including numpad, and between novelkeys' newsletter, Oblotzky's prominence in the community, and the low base price-the set sold itself. Didn't use Dvorcol's pretty graphs, I don't even know the final numbers.

For Nines, Umbra, GMK Copper now, there's a post on the reddit forums every few days with ads and giveaways for hype. Krelbit's switchmod site used another trick to get numbers up early for Zambumon's GMK Sandstorm and make MOQ look attainable-order a base kit on the first day the kit goes on sale, it's 5$ off. Once upon a time you probably didn't have to do that, but the number of sets per month is now so high:

(there's 13 buys right now, 6 more in the next 2 weeks) I think you have to.

Shame about this one. Really wanted to match the ETF caps. I wish Kono would either promote all sets properly, or run fewer of them simultaneously.

Also sad.  This was an awesome looking set. GG
