I was really on the fence about the nano, but I have some ideas to make it useful. Was hard to pass up when I saw how well it will likely match the quantum blue volcano. If the nano bento render colors are accurate, it will match almost perfectly

How long is the typical period between the finalisation of colour samples and shipping date from GMK?

Tough to say… But GMK told me the shipping is planed to be mid-june. And I'm about to approve the colors! The blue just needs to be less desaturated at this point :thumb:

Personally can definitely wait for a few more weeks honestly, as long as the end result is superb. So take your time! :)

Also, even if the samples failed to meet your quality I would love to see it anyway. You know, to give you some feedbacks.

How does shipping normally work on those. Direct from GMK? Is it quick?

GMK ship to the vendor you bought from, then they'll send out.

Production is usually 16 weeks for custom colors, and shipping to vendors probably takes a week. I think it's fair to approximate 20 weeks?

They won't know until the orders have actually gone out and they've waited to see if there are any issues.

anyone wanna sell there sets or transfer hit me up, i ****ed up and missed the buy.

Pretty sure that the proxies will get extra sets to sell, you can get yours when they release.

Might have to pay a little above drop price, but vendors will have sets available for sure.

I imagine we’d hear something soon. 12 weeks from end of group buy was the timeline I believe?

Here’s hoping some kind of update is coming.

Good to hear there's some new updates and thank you for it, but sadly to say it's a shame that it's off the estimated date by 2-3 months. Waiting for 8 months kinda suck, but i guess that's the nature of GB.

It ended Feb 28th, 8 months would be October. Early August is 6 months total, which is pretty reasonable.

My bad, i was referring to myself as i join the GB during the early Jan. 6 months = reasonable? Well ok then, guess i had too much faith in this GB to stick within its estimated shipping. I guess i have been spoiled by MD GB.

Keyword is estimated :)

Original ship date was sometime in June so it’s really not that far off. It’s also clearly stated that there could be delays so they’re not overpromising anything.

No price drop but they did add extra keycaps to the base set. I think 4 new novelties. Typically Massdrop is the only one that’s set up for price drops. Hopefully that changes in the future though :)

It’ll be a lot works for non-Massdrop keyset gb to offer price drop.

Furthermore, with recent changes to how Paypal do the refund, even Massdrop introduced caveat recently on refund for payment using Paypal.
