OMG! I just realized that r2 is currently open.

Holy crap, nice!!! I was just looking for this on r/mm the other day. So glad I don't have to pay aftermarket price now

I really love the scene renders done here.

What's with the minimal kitting? This set is such a missed opportunity.

Yeah, I had the quickest transition from "shut up and take my money" to showing the bills back to my wallet, ever.

I mean, it's a second run. Except for not having the Norde kit, this is all as it previously was in the original run best I can tell. Can't help but wonder if the Norde set didn't sell well originally or perhaps simply didn't even hit MOQ. Perhaps we have different expectations for additional runs of keycaps, but for me, I expect at most small tweaks to kits vs any meaningful overhaul to the kitting or design. Changes to novelties or available artisans fall within that spectrum. Wholesale changes to support new kits less so.

Curious what's giving you pause as it likely would have been originally an issue (unless of course it's the lack of Nordes)?

I didn't notice the Q4 '22 ETA for production. Shouldn't r2 be faster since color matching was already done in r1?

GMK is swamped with orders, there are a couple dozen sets they need to finish before they can even think of starting to manufacture this, a handful of new GBs run every month, plus the pandemic didn't help either.

Also, I'm not sure if this has been resolved yet (or I might be misinformed), they had alot of employees that took paid leave for whatever reason.

djbakasan · « **Reply #162 on:** Tue, 21 September 2021, 22:22:28 »

More or less a triple whammy:

- Huge backlog of sets ahead of it, dating back a year now. Did a quick search and the sets that I have had pending the longest date back to almost 16 months ago, let alone all the sets that have gone through GB since then.
- Resin shortage, unsure if impacting just GMK or others to some degree as well. Have noticed other manufacturers starting to have longish lead times as well-- not GMK long, but noticeable.
- General covid related logistics ****ery-- e.g. shortages of shipping containers, loading docks having minimal crew due to illness, etc.

Nordeuk/International kit is not the only kit missing, this run is just sad and won't arrive until 2023 anyways. Wasted.

robsta · « **Reply #166 on:** Mon, 27 September 2021, 07:32:34 »

... holy smokes - what did they do? They should just add up the missing sets, dont see the problem in it

otherwise i tried to get nordeu from r1 on mechmarket, but no response - wasting my young age with searchin for the set now xD

As a sad lurker and window shopper, I’m so happy to see that this made a return and am proud to say that this will be my first gmk set. Can’t wait to forget that I spent so much money on this and painfully reminded that I spent it next fall

Hey all! Happy to see many of you are excited for this.

However, note that I have nothing to do with this R2 and I wasn't even aware until someone posted about it.
Kono is running this and all questions about kitting and other decisions should be directed towards them.

I have asked them to create a GB thread for firefly on GH, let's hope they do that!
