As of march this year the GMK queue was 170 sets and their average completion rate was 2-4 sets a month. At the optimal 4 sets a month, this puts the wait at 3.5 years. But, hopefully they finally get the second production line running.I'm fine with waiting a year. Tooling, color matching, samples, shipping, logistics, and other related preproduction is a several month process after all. But going beyond 1-1.5 years is quite literally the sales management team exceeding their current production capabilities. I'd rather just see more sets with other manufacturers at this point is all.I guess, for me, GMK has just become the "Maybe when it hits extras and I still care in a couple years" manufacturer.

And I do like the set, so I will likely be suggesting it to people. It's a solid choice and a cleaner color pattern than most modern takes on Olivetti

Oh, I just discovered this! Where have I been?! This looks really nice, and it would be great if we could see the design from her Supporter class outfit as well. haha
Really happy that the GB for GMK Abyssal is open now!Did the metal artisan get removed?
