Even though too late to change anything, but I would like to point out a few things because I was very interested in this IC.
1. Combined kit: not buying something that 50% of the kit is useless right off the bat
2. No bottom row: really pushing buyer's flexibility here, one of the best things about gmk is mix-n-match, but you cant do that with this even though this is an "extension" in a sense.
3. Esc key: this is another head scratching decision. Esc slot is notorious for artisan key so it's not a game changing addition. Secondly this contradicts your original intention of "extension kit" whereas you want buyers to use this in conjunction with other readily available set: you introduce a not so frequently use duplicate.
Between point 1 to 2 to 3, my chance of seeing this kit as anything useful cuts down to about 20-30%. It is an extension that doesnt really extend the flexibility of cap choice, color mixing, or extra key usage. I barely browse GH these days so my apology for the late critique, didnt really change anything. I wish you a successful gb so we can get maybe round 2 or round 3 of a true extension kit in the near future.

Thank you for taking the time to note down your thoughts! Very well written feedback and I do agree, but I feel that you slightly misunderstand the point of this kit.
This kit is for one simple reason, to provide icon modifiers for WoB and BoW. This is a spin off of the kit that ran in 2016, that a lot of people missed and have been hunting - this is just a rerun with extended and modernized layout.
It's pretty simple - you have WoB and want to use Icon mods, but none of the frequently in stock WoB sets feature icon mods (except candykeys, but that base is very limited). This allows, at a pretty cheap price, for you to use icon mods with those. Minimal sold over 1k sets, so I think a fair few would care for icon mods for BoW as well (as voiced here and in other channels). Combining these may seem dumb, but it allows for a better price as well as accenting.
It was a difficult decision, but I still believe it was the right one. If I put myself in consumer shoes (well, I am a consumer and I want this), I would be willing to pay the kit price even if I only wanted one, which is ultimately why I decided to combine these.
Again, thank you for your well written feedback, I really appreciate it!
