Oh man, it pains me to see this set struggling, Virtual.
I think we seem to have reached a kind of saturation in the hobby, particularly when it comes to high-end sets with delivery timelines of over one year. When I discovered this community over a year ago, there was no real choice but to get in line and buy into GMK GBs (none of which have delivered to this date). With lots of budget keycap newcomers backed by big names (such as NicePBT by Cannonkeys), people only join group buys they are extremely excited about. My order for this set was to the amount of 285 Euros (or 335 USD) for Base, Novelties and International (incl. VAT). It feels like newcomers are nowadays choosing the cheaper sets they get quickly. Those that have been around or are taking a deep dive in right away are already in many buys. They are waiting on many sets so that they're spread thin.
Long story short, I really hope this makes it across the finish line with all kits intact - but overall, there is a lesson to learn here for the community - or, more exactly, the industry.
Also: Tell CandyKeys to finally feature this set on the front page. What do they want with that GMMK for cryin out loud!
Best,
Johannes
