IMHO, people are going to see the set when it's finally made and regret not buying when they had the chance.

It's a sleeper!

Agreed, let's hope it's not TOO much of a sleeper though, need that 125 number met haha.

Can't wait to see it in real life, definitely has the potential to become my new favourite, at least until the Miami Dolch and Yuri coming into play, then the Keyboard & Co will be in for some tight competition!

Alright, purchased! I really love this set and would love for this to by my first custom cap set, fingers crossed a few more people will jump on board!
Joined in on this. Hoping for that MOQ. Such a clean colorway. Might be my nostalgia of when I used to collect SB's...

Nice signatures :-*

I already bought a set but good point. This set will probably look much better in person than in the renders. The render for Sky Dolch was quite bad. Render vs reality for the lazy:

Ah, thanks for that :)
Was gonna link it after seeing shower_king's comment.

Said the same thing this morning when chatting with Sherry :p

He has the Pantones in hand & said they look very nice together :thumb:

The GMK render is probably closer than that photo. GMK cyan is no where near as vibrant and as blue as that.

From a little bit of Googling I'm seeing what you are saying about the cyan caps, but I do see a lot of bright turquoise caps that seem much brighter and richer in color than the Cyans

Pretty sure triz' point is that you should just not trust GMK the renders.
UN6037(TU2 now I think) is not as bright as the photo but it's definitely not as dark as the render in person.

I'd include a photo of the 7471 U but Sherry took potato picture when he showed me :p
It is very similar to the Pantone on screen tho.

I like that even better than I like the other render posted by Trizkut which I felt was overly vibrant, I'll be very happy if that pantone is accurate - both miles better than GMK's super pale colour though of course!

I'm going to pick up a set but will have to be right up to the deadline (Sept 1st). Could you give us a quick head-up on current MOQ?

Sky dolch is a very good sample , the renders for GB in mass drop is very bad ,which we almost don't detect the legend , the real sky dolch is terrbly beautiful.

yeah i passed on the original sky dolch buy after looking at the renders and regretted it later.  it turned out to be a really great looking set.

this one is going to be beautiful i'm sure.  order now or cry later!

switch, have you posted this to niketalk yet?  haha.

Is there a minimum MOQ that we need to meet just to reach production, since the 125 is for the price drop right? This set NEEDS to be made, definitely a sleeper :P

That's what I get for not hyping it on reddit :p

Also, good guy Sherry has decided to purchase the rest of the orders leading up to 125 on top of the sets to reach the 250 MOQ.
That means the set is good to go & he'll just keep selling sets on the site at GB price until 125-150 sets are actually purchased by others.

That was news before the Chinese vendor possibly dropping out tho, we'll see what happens :-X

Sherry making dreams come true! This is amazing news, as I was pretty doubtful after hearing about the vendor that pulled out of the buy. So hyped that these sets will get to be realized.

Sherry the god. How would that reflect on pricing by the way, would the final price then drop to the $118 + shipping on kbdist for the 250 MOQ?

Hope the Chinese vendor doesn't drop out, I just want it to be produced!

Unfortunately, the price will only drop to $125, because I would need to use the extra funds to purchase the rest. Otherwise, I can't make it happen.

That's very fair. Again, I appreciate your efforts to see this through! Did I understand correctly that the extras you'll be purchasing will continue to be gradually sold off on your website (sort of like how some Skeletor sets are still available right now) afterwards?

Hey Sherry, I will pick up a set before Friday, hopefully we can meet MOQ, I do have a question about your shipping rates to the UK though, I am going to pick up the KB&Co set and also some extra GMK trays, however each additional trays seems to add quite a lot to the shipping quote (something like +15USD per additional tray ordered), is this because of the size of the tray? Are there any additional shipping methods you can use? Seems really expensive  :(

If necessary, Sherry can extend the buy duration a bit so you may even be able to after Friday.

Managed to place my order just before I leave on holiday.

If all goes well I may purchase another set before the buy ends to use on my office's WhiteFox that is currently on order from Massdrop's second round of it (or just for any other board, potentially a HHKB that I'm planning on buying when I get back).

Hope everyone that wants in manages to do so, I'm sure a lot of people that don't buy in on this will regret it duly once more actual pictures of it start popping up. Thank you for coming up with the idea for this beautiful set Switch and again, Sherry's hard work being put into it is highly respectable.

Have a bunch of news for you all :)

So the Chinese buyer backed out bringing our orders back down to 75 :(

BUT.

Sherry has decided to invest in the set & pick up the near 200 sets we needed so that it will be manufactured :)
The price will be the $135 you payed if you've already purchased instead of $125 because 125 sets were not purchased by people that aren't Sherry.

GB period has been extended to the end of September, if we reach 125 sets by then you'll be refunded $10.
Sherry is still submitting the order to GMK this week/next since we have enough orders & doing so will keep the set on schedule.

Pricing for the set currently:

GB(125+ sets purchased): $125

GB(currently): $135

Pre order(after GB but before retail): $150

Retail(in shop): $165


The set is good to go :cool:

Thanks :thumb:

We're currently at 107/125, but a Chinese Vendor might want to back out ... I'll have to update you guys further more soon!

what does that mean to the other people buying this set? btw I am interested in ordering this set but I was wondering when we will get charged for the purchase.
You pay immediately, and get a refund if it doesn't meet MOQ.

I waited to hit MOQ before billing group buy member and have learned my lesson.  The above way seems to work best.

Also, good guy Sherry has decided to purchase the rest of the orders leading up to 125 on top of the sets to reach the 250 MOQ.
That means the set is good to go & he'll just keep selling sets on the site at GB price until 125-150 sets are actually purchased by others.

That was news before the Chinese vendor possibly dropping out tho, we'll see what happens :-X

Sherry the god. How would that reflect on pricing by the way, would the final price then drop to the $118 + shipping on kbdist for the 250 MOQ?

Hope the Chinese vendor doesn't drop out, I just want it to be produced!

Unfortunately, the price will only drop to $125, because I would need to use the extra funds to purchase the rest. Otherwise, I can't make it happen.

We're currently at 113/125 with the chinese vendor!

Hey Sherry, I will pick up a set before Friday, hopefully we can meet MOQ, I do have a question about your shipping rates to the UK though, I am going to pick up the KB&Co set and also some extra GMK trays, however each additional trays seems to add quite a lot to the shipping quote (something like +15USD per additional tray ordered), is this because of the size of the tray? Are there any additional shipping methods you can use? Seems really expensive  :(

The size of the tray really affects the cost of the shipping. If you send us an e-mail, we can manually the weigh the item for you. Please do send an e-mail to contact@originativeco.com.
Have a bunch of news for you all :)

So the Chinese buyer backed out bringing our orders back down to 75 :(

BUT.

Sherry has decided to invest in the set & pick up the near 200 sets we needed so that it will be manufactured :)
The price will be the $135 you payed if you've already purchased instead of $125 because 125 sets were not purchased by people that aren't Sherry.

GB period has been extended to the end of September, if we reach 125 sets by then you'll be refunded $10.
Sherry is still submitting the order to GMK this week/next since we have enough orders & doing so will keep the set on schedule.

Pricing for the set currently:

GB(125+ sets purchased): $125

GB(currently): $135

Pre order(after GB but before retail): $150

Retail(in shop): $165


The set is good to go :cool:

Thanks :thumb:

Awesome news! I was just about to go in and ask how we were looking to meet minimum requirements for this. I was able to scrounge up the funds needed for a set. Plan on putting my order in tomorrow.

Thanks!  That makes it not as much of a stretch for me financially, so I really appreciate the extension!  Are you going to update the OP?
