Inspiration
Throughout various cultures, lavender is represented in food, drinks, and fashion.
GMK Lavender is inspired by these uses throughout the world, as well as the flower’s calming color.
I chose a more muted shade of lavender for this set to reflect how this color is used in modern culture and fashion.

seems to match the renders nicely (and terribly mismatch the garbage "lavender" Portal I've bought solely for this set)

it looks like Geon will draw the winners on stream from a list of all worldwide GB order numbers that include at least 1 basekit.
Would be nice if the designer posted updates here instead of you having to do it
