This is quite disheartening, but I am working to see what solutions are possible to bring the set to fruition, though I would have to communicate with SP and fellow designers that are more familiar with DSS to see about making sweeping changes to the kits.

The good news:
* Icons approved by SP in terms of legal distinction, remeasuring line widths to ensure compliance with manufacturing capabilities
* Kitting has been updated according to community feedback, and renders have been updated to match,
* Only thing that is left to be updated is changing META/FN/FUNCTION to PRGM/PROGRAM on both base kit and 40s/ortho kit because the molds already existThe bad news:

Regardless, thank you for your support and interest up to this point, it has most certainly softened the blow.

Howdy folks, I've been spending the last few weeks working 50+ hours at my day job and I've been getting sick, so I've been taking my time to get things done but I'm pulling through.
I have another update from the past week or so of doing some investigative work on the biggest contributors to the cost while communicating with Melissa. So it turns out that the error in question came to a miscount of keys, meaning that the price should have been this way from the start. I am thus adjusting the MOQ targets for the base kit to make for a more palatable price. Update to main post will be posted in the next hour.
I will be working this coming weekend to finalize the line widths of the icon novelties and that should be all set. The deskmat is coming along nicely but requires some composition changes to make it more thrilling.
As for the kitting, I am still discussing what our solutions if vendors do not feel that the current kitting is feasible. I am making sweeping changes to kitting while keeping feedback in mind. Black Alphas will be shelved for a future run much like DSA LightCycle R3. Please stay tuned for that :D
I am also investigating whether there exist CYCLE legends to replace SHIFT legends to lean more into the theme.

Love both the theme of this set and the use of DSS (one of my faves that's unfortunately pretty rare). Really hope this and the CYL Grid set happen!
Now if someone could do it in MTNU, I'd be over the moon... ;D

Voting to include the alt alphas in this run!
