Thanks everyone for the comments and the support. The GB is being postponed currently, so people should be getting their refunds from their respective vendors along normal timelines. I think normally refunds can take 3 to 10 days, but I am not sure when they will be processed as depending on the region it may take longer for the banks to transfer funds. For example, if you live in Europe but bought from Zfrontier. Please be patient with them.
There are several reasons why the set may not have been on track to make moq
.The dollar falling versus the euro meaning that the basekit was 10USD more expensive than planned in regions outside of EU, in order to keep the same euro pricing at 250moq, because gmk invoices in euros for production
.My underestimation of the importance of Latin legends to those otherwise interested in purchasing the set
.Overlapping GB timelines with popular sets that most in the community would've joined, like Serika at the beginning of the GB and Muted through the rest. I think only the most enthusiastic in the hobby tend to buy more than one set a month, which left just a short window for the majority of people to buy in February. Unfortunately because Muted was announced late there wasn't a way to avoid this
Looking at feedback going forward I will be
.Changing the set to Katakana sub legends, meaning the set will have both Japanese Kana and Latin legends
.Removing the alpha coloured f row, and considering removing 40% support in favour of potentially adding alice spacebars into the basekit, or purely making the price point more attractive for the majority of people
As always I am open to your thoughts, and intend to rerun the set once I have made the necessary changes it needs to be successful.
There should be updates on kitting and renders following, along with my plan going forward once it has been decided
