The mats are all incredible but I think the Fuji one is my final choice. Like the mountain, the mat has stood the test of time (and made it through many manu changes)

Unfortunately I had to pair down kitting a lot when we moved from KAT to ePBT, and that was one of the kits removed

May I know a rough estimate on the shipping time based on this data? I'm thinking about buying this but waiting almost a year (like GMK sets) to receive a set is not for me :(

It does not look like we will receive an ETA until after the group buy ends but ePBT sets have been successfully shipping within 6 to 8 months lately.

Minor update everyone - not bad news IMO

Some inconsistencies between the production templates and the renders were found. In every case we're going with the illustrator files as it accurately reflects how the set should look. My apologies for not catching these in the renders but I don't think anyone will be worse for wear over these changes.

So does anyone know what happened with the rocket cable from this set? I pre ordered and haven't received anything from this buy besides mats..

From their Discord:
"Rocket Cables — 02/05/2023 4:35 PM
@Rocket Cables @Rocket Keyboards & Cables Hello, I regret to say that RocketCables will be closing down and all outstanding cable orders will be fully refunded. ALL customers with a cable order will also be emailed regarding cable refunds. I personally apologize for the inconvenience, as we were trying to expand we took on more than we realized. It was a combination of being a full time college student, IRL issues, GB’s spiking, and underestimating difficulty of GB cables that lead to struggling to fulfill cable orders. What went from a hobby quickly became unmanageable. We tried to see if it was possible to have a third party help with fulfilling cables however, it did not seem feasible. We will be listing up inventory of color matched detachable’s, LEMO connectors, and some completed cables for those who are interested in DIY projects. We will ping again in the future once items are listed.

This discord account will stay active and if there are any questions, concerns or support inquiries. For refund questions please send an email to rocketcables@gmail.com or DM @Rocket Cables (RocketCables#0001). It has been a learning experience and we apologize for the undesirable experience. You do not need to dm/email to claim a refund, refunds will be processed throughout the month until all are completed.

-RocketCables"

I also got an email, which is similar to this message. So we'll get a refund eventually, but otherwise you can reach out if you don't get one within the next month.
