this set have been submitted to GMK later about three months or more than miami night ,this set will be on sale late this month

1,about the set ,it is custom-made color ,not the magenta. The cherry's proxy in China have ordered this from GMK and ofcourse ABS double shot. The proxy have paied for 520 sets of this and called this set Saint Valentine's Day Set, "520" means  " i love you " in chinese.
2,due to the  17%customs fees ,this set will be more expensive than ususl' GMK GB. and there is no mod to compatibale with WKL,1800 etc except for one stepped caps
3,the color is so similar to magenta ,but not the magenta. and this contains a cherry logo R1 and 2 love logo 1.25×.
4, i write this not to intent compare this set's time with miami night's , i just want to show my great respect to ivan. This GB is not his all life. he also has his own life and work and like everyone as us. Joining in GMK' GB means great patience exercise for everyone . If there is any important update for us for this GB, IVAN will update as soon as possible even every one hour update . IF there is no update, IVAN will keep this tidy . please waiting patiently. No news is good news , everything is going well as usual even it is slow than usual.

Please tell me more about the scroll locks that you have worn out.
Pad printing is fine and GMK does it better than most.

If you really want I can show you an unused caps-lock that has the legends pre-worn-out

Best case scenario, the colors and glare doesn't match double-shots anyway

1,this set's color way is not magenta, although this color looks so similar to magenta. it's saint valentine's Day set by GMK and also double-shot ABS.
this set is a  custom-made color by cherry's proxy in China. yes, it' custom-made color, not pink ,not magenta, not 3C color in GMK's color card.
2,exactly,they need 500 set to reach the custom-made color MOQ,.However,the cherry's proxy in China have submitted 520 sets which means "i love you" in chinese.
3,Now ,these sets have been produced already and sent to China by air not by sea.
4,This set will be on sale in China. Taobao.in Jan 31,2016.
5,Unfortunately, due to 17% customs fees , this set will be more expensive than usual GMK. and this set just have a stepped caps without other mod.
6,some friends says this is 104, yes , this is not GB for the whole world , it is just for friends in China where the 104 is the predominant.
7,This cherry's proxy will lanuch new GMK GB in GH sooner or later. the color is also custom-made ,and which mod or wkl keys needed depend on you ,so please not complain to this 104 set ,thank you .

1,the monkey logo is ABS double shot
2,the cherry logo is produced under permission of Cherry Corporation. Of course ABS double shot made
3,the legend's color is V2, just as the color in skidata's legend, but the other color does not exist on GMK color card. it is new color and custom-made color
the same rule is we need 500 sets to make this happen, but don't worry .We have figured it out.
4,this set GB have been lauched on EC in China and now have collected more than 70 orders approaching to 100 sets and this will last to Feb 13, 2016 in China. this set will be lauched on GH sooner or later by an old friend.Please support him ,thank you .
5,now the price is coming at last. This set will produced by GMK and sent to China by air not by sea .thus it will faster than usual GMK GB. and unfortunately, all we have to pay China's Customs Fee, 17%.

the Very Important Thing is MOQ
yeah, we ,all the GMK FANS AND ADDICTS to GMK , strive hard to reach to the high MOQ. just as the miami night  merely reach and the pity classic beige and SNES. Now the GMK boom in China ,we have done a 520 set custom-made color set and now doning a mokey limited custom-made color set.
we could buy extra sets to meet MOQ and sell later.so we don't need to worry about MOQ
Besides Saint Valentine's Day Set and Monkey Limited Set, We will lauch the third custom-made color set from GMK and may be CMYK. Then ,i will open a new interest chech for everyone to discuss on how many and which mod needed to be added into . just waiting patiently and care for you wallet.
Another important problem is price. the Saint V's set and Monkey set will ship to China and then pack to other location in the world ,so the customs fee is 17% and make these two sets more expensive. About he third round custom-made would , i will find a way to avoid these fees and make this set more accessible to everyone in EU ,AU AND US.

How are they getting custom double shot legends?
hi friend .do you mean how GMK made the custom-double shot legends?
if your question is that, my answer to that is they just need to open and create one mold for the monkey logo or cherry logo, not need to create a whole set for monkey sets.
exactly , only mold for the  monkey logo is new and the molds for other keys in this set is old. this is ecnomic.
and about how to make double shot ABS keys and the process , you could find answer to that on deskrhority(DT)

Do they take request now?

Good idea,but MD is not my first priority. since it need service fee for launching on it and accordingly increase the sets price but we just want to avoid the 17% customs fees in China without increasing other fees.

OK,i appreciate and fully understand you .
The custom-mold for 1.25× heart in Saint Valentine set havs been made already and it is also a big surprise to me.
 i don't know the specifics how proxy in China discussing with GMK?
From my point of view, profit is a  major but not only factor. The Cherry's Proxy in China(short as CPC below) have ordered 520 sets including custom-made keys and may promise to order more later. CPC could steadily order sets from GMK including custom-made keys and make profits, but we ,as enthusiasts in GH, could not do that easiy and just make one GB  even with just 250 sets and will not order the custom-made keys next GB.
and another important point is CPC earn great profits for Cherry Co. and CPC have got cherry's new series keyboards been made in China. CPC have more powerful voice in cherry. GMK have been affiliated to Cherry. IF CPC expressed intention to order custom-made legend and colors to GMK through Cherry. I think the voice is more powerful than enthusiasts in forums.

OK, due to the 17% customs fee in China, the Saint Valentine set is approximate 990RMB¥ (CNY)and not including international transportion fees.
IF Changing to USD according to current exchange rate, the set will reach highly 150 USD roughly.
welcome your any questions, negative and positive. but please don't complain to the high price and 104. because this is the debut set ordered by Cherry's Proxy in China and for Chinsese enthusiasts.
IF the high price is acceptable to you , overseas and international friends, you could buy it . if not acceptable to you , both OK.
Repeat sentence, like it or not , buy it or not , all depending on you. and welcome negative and positive disscution on them ,but please not complain ,thank you very much.

welcome your any questions, negative and positive. but please don't complain to the high price and 104. because this is the debut set ordered by Cherry's Proxy in China and for Chinsese enthusiasts.
IF the high price is acceptable to you , overseas and international friends, you could buy it . if not acceptable to you , both OK.
Repeat sentence, like it or not , buy it or not , all depending on you. and welcome negative and positive disscution on them ,but please not complain ,thank you very much.

GG. That cost will surely be cost prohibitive to most people. Especially since the price per key will be really bad. It is great though that the EC community is starting to get involved in group buys. Hopefully they can work it out so that it is less costly and more available to us here.

150 us is not bad considering that the going rate for GMK Olivetti and Red Alert was 200 USD through photekq's GB last year

I'm incredibly surprised about the custom legends though

yeah ,agree with you
 the first one have been sent and the second one GB is monkey one which the address has been fixed already. and the third one ,in the near future, will be launch on GH and adopt most people's suggestion here and figure out to avoid customs fee.

Yeah tsangan at the least would have been nice. Luckily the monkey set has more compatibility. Now let's just hope that after fees and shipping the set doesn't get close to $200

Hello everyone on GH,
I am xiaodian317, working at the distributor(BEIJING JOY WAY TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD) of Cherry in China. Just the "CPC" shower_king has said above.

There are the something to share with you by myself not my company.

The GMK Valentine's Day edition that we give it a new name "CHERRY KC 520" in China.
That's the custom made products of Cherry and made by GMK.

Just like the "ESC and W/A/S/D"keys with V1 and CP color set for Cherry G80-1863 in 2008 or 2009 in the market of China.
I am not sure but maybe it is the first time for the custom made colorful keys by GMK to Cherry.

And this one,Cherry KC 520, we have made the order directly to GMK via Cherry and not through the Group buy on the website.
I am so sorry for the 105 keys because we have sold so much G80-3000 and MX-BOARD 6.0 keyboards in China.
The custom made keys(heart shape and Cherry Logo) are higher than the others.
The keycaps have arrived in my company office Beijing at Friday.
We are all excited and look them up and down for long time haha.
If the keycaps be sold on Tmall and JD, they must need the EAN code and the official package in China.
So we build the Cherry KC 520's box.
The box have costed us nearly about 10 USD. Just the same box with G80-3000's in China.

[attach=1]

[attach=2]

We have a lot of work to do.Sorting the 520 set into the box in one day.Take the photos and send them to dealers.Express the Keycaps with box to the dealers.
If everything is ok, we will sell it on tuesday.
We can not wait cause the China long holiday is coming and the Express company also don't work on the holiday.

Regards the price of this set, I feel sorry to the friends on the GH.
The R.R.P is 999 CNY (About 150 USD) in China.
It's VAT including and free Express fees in China.

1.)We pay the tax about 17%.
2.)We choose the FedEx priority by airplane from Germany to China.
3.)My company's profit.
4.)My company's dealer's profit.
5.)The new keycaps package.

The price is higher than the others Group Buy set by individual.
And more higher price if shipping to other countries from China.
So I don't recommend you to buy it if you feel uncomfortable about the price.

YEAH,  you are right. Feng will collect monkey set orders on GH, i don't know the exact time, but soon. The exact time is depending on feng after he is well prepared for it.
I have mention that the Saint Valentine's set is for 104's  users in China, thus it will be expensive for friends abroad.
and when this set is on sale on TaoBao site in China on Jan 31,2016. I will post a link to it.
IF you really wanna buy it , please PM me ,i will figure it out.

hi ,buddy. this is not a joke.
The 17% customs fee is the main factor.
The batch cyan sets of EC(enjoy click) , a keyboard enthusiast forum in China,  were sent to China late October 2016. we have paid 17%tax fees due to Customs Fee Regulation. How much? about 50 usd per one set. I think you guys on GH who are located in US or AU need pay no more tax fees for your cyan sets. The Saint Valentine's Day set is under the same situation with ours cyan sets.
however, we have plan for a long time to launch a third custom-made color and custom-made legend Group-Buy from GMK . I will figure out how to avoid the 17% tax fees。
Saint Valenting is already first. Monkey set is current second. and please wait our third one. which custom-made color and legend and what MOD added into will be checked the interest ON GH here.

I suggest you to check previously successful GB characteristics to find the features that makes great group buys, HF and Skidata, for example, or the modifiers sets by Ivan and billnye just to mention a few.

I'm not really well-versed in how the custom color process works, would the fact that this custom color has been run make another set with the same color any cheaper? There's always a possibility that just re-running the set with a full set of mods could be cheaper because this one has paved the way.

There's always a possibility that just re-running the set with a full set of mods could be cheaper because this one has paved the way.

Ultimately it depends on how they are set up logistically, but my assumption is that we will see higher costs for custom colors until said color is officially added to the color wheel (and therefore no longer custom).

They are either purchasing these resins in smaller quantities (high cost) or at the very least purchasing a colorant that they otherwise wouldn't have to (increased logistics costs, warehousing, etc) - or some combination of both.

And then there's the processing factor - I'd bet that if they are blending these colors in-line vs pulling from a bulk silo/box, they have increased changeover costs and waste due to color matching a custom color.

And there are probably other costs that I'm missing due to not being terribly familiar with their logistics and processing nuances.

1,this set's color way is not magenta, although this color looks so similar to magenta. it's saint valentine's Day set by GMK and also double-shot ABS.
this set is a  custom-made color by cherry's proxy in China. yes, it' custom-made color, not pink ,not magenta, not 3C color in GMK's color card.
2,exactly,they need 500 set to reach the custom-made color MOQ,.However,the cherry's proxy in China have submitted 520 sets which means "i love you" in chinese.
3,Now ,these sets have been produced already and sent to China by air not by sea.
4,This set will be on sale in China. Taobao.in Jan 31,2016.
5,Unfortunately, due to 17% customs fees , this set will be more expensive than usual GMK. and this set just have a stepped caps without other mod.
6,some friends says this is 104, yes , this is not GB for the whole world , it is just for friends in China where the 104 is the predominant.
7,This cherry's proxy will lanuch new GMK GB in GH sooner or later. the color is also custom-made ,and which mod or wkl keys needed depend on you ,so please not complain to this 104 set ,thank you .

This set has bars. I didn't even have to ask?! What's happening?

One thing that's got me wondering is whether this got pushed ahead of the queue (in front of Miami Nights) to make it in time for Valentine's day or whether Miami Nights is just around the corner too

Pretty sure it already closed.  Opened on 1/24 and invoices were sent out 1/26.  Only place I saw the order form was on Reddit.

1,about the set ,it is custom-made color ,not the magenta. The cherry's proxy in China have ordered this from GMK and ofcourse ABS double shot. The proxy have paied for 520 sets of this and called this set Saint Valentine's Day Set, "520" means  " i love you " in chinese.
2,due to the  17%customs fees ,this set will be more expensive than ususl' GMK GB. and there is no mod to compatibale with WKL,1800 etc except for one stepped caps
3,the color is so similar to magenta ,but not the magenta. and this contains a cherry logo R1 and 2 love logo 1.25×.
4, i write this not to intent compare this set's time with miami night's , i just want to show my great respect to ivan. This GB is not his all life. he also has his own life and work and like everyone as us. Joining in GMK' GB means great patience exercise for everyone . If there is any important update for us for this GB, IVAN will update as soon as possible even every one hour update . IF there is no update, IVAN will keep this tidy . please waiting patiently. No news is good news , everything is going well as usual even it is slow than usual.

I just went back and looked at the color codes. The magenta used in this set is not custom. It uses the standard GMK color UN33656. The only thing custom about this set is the cherry logo and the heart keys.

Oh, for real? That sucks. Going to read the original post now.

Sorry, dude. For what it's worth, it's still a nice set.


Update:
He literally said it was a custom color and not the magenta. Well, it's not like he made the set. Maybe he was misinformed. Either way, I guess it does make the set a little less special, and the cost a bit more painful.

Im more interested in seeing what the policy is like with the custom legends

I'm guessing maybe when GH gets some custom GMK legends we can trade permissions with the Chinese community

It's funny because I actually was *not* interested in the set due to it being a custom color.  It would be harder to mix and match with my existing Magenta sets, and I didn't really want to have to deal with that.

But knowing that it's not custom, I'm more interested.  :))

Haha I'd have the same issue.  :P  I'm not aware of a source unfortunately.  :(  You'd almost have to use some of the other kits out there and mix-n-match to get something nice.  Cyan Alt, Purple Enter/Esc, etc.  Could look great, but might not be what you're after.  :-/

Yeah I will probably end up using a trio of colors to accent the set but it would have been nice to have a "complete" TKL layout with the set.
