My Taro extras just came in. We will go live with these at 5:00pm EST today (October 28, 2018).

I'll be posting a link on Reddit, and hopefully I will remember to do it here as well.

Here is the link - https://novelkeys.xyz/products/gmk-taro
The link will be dead until 5:00pm EST.

Dammit, missed the base sets. If anyone has a set for sale please let me know. Have PP, will pay handsomely. Thanks!

Wondering if international shipping was done via USPS First Class Mail or with Priority Mail International?

Just asking, as my package seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth since 30 Oct, i.e. moving within the USPS network and on track to be delivered to its final destination. My local post office usually updates the tracking when the package has left the States but in this scenario curiously nothing was updated.

First Class Package mail of this size would normally be tracked just in the same way it is tracked for Priority Mail Int'l.

It's likely that the post is just waiting for a scan closer to its final location -- this has been a change in recent months, and the USPS does not show each and every scan on the way anymore.

International shipping is firstclass mail.
I also stopped tracking after October 30.
The package arrived yesterday.
But even after arriving, usps hasn't been updated since October 30.

I am glad the value was marked 0.01.

I did not have to Pay customs charges. I am so sick and tired of paying customs charges for everything from MassDrop.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. The colorway is a crusher and Philipp deserves all of the accolades and superlatives that exist for knocking this out of the park. The only storefront I know of that still has base sets in stock is 1upkeyboards.

Shoutout to Boomsnapcaps for the gifted spooder up there; I have no clue what the name is, but it matches the mod base incredibly well.

I'm in touch with one person who has yet to get their set. We are aware of it's general location in the world and I'm working with USPS to get the latest info.

Thanks to everyone for their patience with me. I know it was a long slog, but I hope everyone is happy with what landed. I want to extend my personal thanks to Pwade for allowing me to be a part of his special set. I think we call can agree this one is a winner, and I can't wait to see what else he's working on!

So crushed that I missed the set! $200 USD + $37 USD shipping for a Canadian is a bit too heavy on the wallet, but I shall look at these sets from afar with awe.

I was attempting to find a matching sleeve color, but I ran out of time and interest so I just stopped.

This cable by Nubbinator came to mind--he called it "Light Purple MDPC-X":

And CPTBadAss' review of that cable:

I don't see "Light Purple" in MDPC-X' current offerings, but maybe "Light Purple" was a qualitative name for another color.  Could check with Nubs.
