Hopefully we'll see a renewed interest in Midnight SA once Retro ships and the Massdrop Novatouch project goes to production.   :thumb:

yeah I also know matt3o is helping out with gh60? so i'm ok with waiting, I just hope it's an actual possibility and patiently wait or should I keep trying to find his first release :0

I think you might want to have a look at this.

Edit: The base kit is out of stock but they could restock it at any time.  Just something to keep an eye on.

I actually called them awhile back and was told that they wouldn't be restocking them :/

I'm sure they said that about DSA Dolch at some point too.  But they did.

Dolch is a lot more popular so it's good for sales. Midnight won't be restocked.

Because you said so?

Then why leave it up in the keyshop?

Matt3o already gave them permission to sell additional sets. If there's enough interest they're not going to just decline an opportunity for easy money. That makes zero sense.

No I'd expect to see DCS again some day.

Don't get your panties in a bunch.

Yes, they have permission, but I have also been told they don't PLAN on making anything that is out of stock. So of course they'd make more if there was enough interest, which goes back to my Dolch statement.

So as it is, they won't be restocking it any time soon, if ever.

Because they still have extras to sell?  Let's be real.  Midnight as a GB was a flop.  It didn't even make it to 50 sets on the base alphas, and barely hit 50 combined sets between both sets of mods.  They aren't going to waste time setting machines up for a small re-run just to make a few people happy.

they had permission to run some additional copies, not to restock forever :)

with the exception of granite, all my sets are limited editions.

That was the DCS version which frankly deserved to go belly-up BUT this is the SA Profiled version which is FAR, FAR better than any other profile version made by SP.

Anyone casting nasty aspersions upon this great Colour-way by Matt3o, shall be choked to death when I thrust my spikey cactus down your slimy throat  ;) .

thats mostly what I was asking about as I previously saw an IC for the SA profile which I think would look super good. but if it won't happen for a long time then I might as well look for the DCS version because this color way is sick :)

Well it doesn't get any more final than that.

Well as long as its something you are interested in then I'm willing to hold off on finding a DCS version for SA. IF you were to actually do this I'm assuming it would be sometime after the new SP site goes live?

just to be clear... I won't be running any more SA until SP makes the missing molds.

I think that is very wise. They do enough SA business that they should invest in completing the molds.

The only SA set I jumped on was Symbiosis because it was all Row 3 so there wouldn't be the profile mismatch.

Signature Plastics does not have SA molds for Row-4 Shifts. So all "Full Contour" SA sets actually have Row-3 Shift keys.

Row-4 has a 7° tilt whereas Row-3 is 0°.
