When this set first IC'd I had my doubts, but after sometime it really grew on me! I'm in for Neo Tokyo and Corrupted Data! Great job on another successful set Biip! :D

## color_scheme

└── 090 90 60 sonnenröschengelb | 1018 zinkgelb
└── 1777 C | 1787 C

what do all these colors mean? the set contains four, not eight? or are they mixed to create your color of choice?

For each color I choose 2 references so I can adjust the final color scheme (and inherit contrast) :thumb:

looking at the colors, none of the blue/reds seem to represent the renders, which are way more turquoise/pink-ish than the "default" blue/reds. i know renders can never 100% show the real deal but this has me wondering if we can expect a neon design like the renders or if the end product will be more, don't know how to put it, "boring" (imo!). no offense, just curious!

No worries! I get what you mean.
The goal is to offer vivid/vibrant color that’s also why I chose 2 references for each color.
If you look closely the renders aren’t featuring neon colors, it’s the result of the contrast between the base (dark cold gray) with light colors which gives this effect.
I would never display renders of a product that cannot be manufactured.
If you have the opportunity to have a look at a RAL book IRL you’ll notice that the chosen colors are pretty close to the actual renders (which are (and must be) pretty accurate in the end of the day).

I hope it’d help to make you less anxious about the final colors :p

Comparing the colors of the RAL sample image and the blue from the Neo Tokyo base render, I'm not sure where the blue's saturation is coming from even if the contrast is high. The top color in the attached comparison is sampled directly from the kit image. The yellow and red seem pretty close though. I may just not be understanding how the color would get affected in a rendering, and unfortunately won't be able to check out a RAL book before the end of the GB.

I don't mean to doubt, I love the set! This'll be my first GB, so just I'm slightly anxious.

Edit: Apologies for the amateur double attachment

This was a group buy man, you missed it and have to wait for extras or aftermarket.

How are people getting the Rama cap so soon? I ordered just the Rama and haven't had any tracking or anything. There's a guy on mm discord who's been trying to sell his for months.

Lol this isnt gonna be in our hands this year.

Dangboy: did you order w the GMK set? If you did they’ll ship together. If you want the metal cap sooner order it separately. Note: years ago, people ordered the metal separately because GMK was -faster-

If you placed the order with NovelKeys, RAMA caps do not get shipped out separately and will ship out when the GMK caps come in.

Estimated time of arrival doesn’t mean for us, right? That means estimated time of arrival for vendors to get those color samples that are mentioned? Sorry, I don’t know the production process of this stuff, my apologies. Just wondering where along in the process the set is :)

Yeah the ETA is actually when GMK start to ship the sets to vendors (and it's currently August).

Thanks for the update.

Sounds like customers in North America will likely get them in Sept/Oct time frame.

GMK, if you're reading this...

Just got a response back from CandyKeys support, my order was seemingly held back by the deskmat I also ordered. They expect the delivery of my order to happen in around 2 weeks. Fingers crossed!
