A mixture of text only, text+icons and icon mods, I've never seen such a bad legend choice. And 150€ is also pretty expensive, nice profit margin.
Interestingly 3 different renders exist. The keyboard renders in the OP have icon+text mods, the kit render has a mixture of everything and the kit renders on the store pages have only icon mods. And there is an error with the VIM keys. In the base kit there is only a J vim-key without homing whereas you don't get a F key without homing. Therefore you would have two different homings if you want to use the VIM keys without buying the space bar kit. So either way I would include the/a homing key(s) to the base set instead of the one without homing or I would move the whole VIM-kit to the space bar kit

There was a mistake and one of the early mockups was used for the thread instead of the proper one and it's being fixed, though you definitely could have voiced your opinion in a more polite manner. As for the pricing, this is a large kit and contains three custom novelty designs, making the set by itself a pretty penny. Add 19% German VAT, per set shipping costs from GMK, PayPal fees, and per set shipping materials to that and it doesn't take long for the price to go up. Being rude just to try and call someone out because you think you know better than they do isn't impressing anyone. I can guarantee CandyKeys isn't gouging anyone at that price.
the only thing I find kinda strange is the relative price drop points, I expected $165 to $147 to translate to more than a 5 Euro price drop

According to google, 165 US Dollar equals 132.50 Euro therefore, 147 US Dollar equals 118.04 Euro. Quickmafs gives me an almost 15 Euro price drop. Where are you getting 5 Euro price drop from?

I think you read his post in a passive aggressive tone. There is nothing wrong with what he wrote. I know you want to defend OP because you yourself is involved with running the GB, but now you just comes off as the rude one. cool down your nipples.
I want to mix this with GMK Blue on Black for a simple custom colorway. Count me in.
So if I order now (from CandyKeys) I will receive an invoice after 10th March? How many days will I have for paying the invoice after I receive it?

Afaik, CandyKeys is using immediate checkout as opposed to my pre-order system.
Please note that this group buy will run from 2/9 to 3/10, payment submission date is within 2 weeks of the end date, and has an estimated shipping date of 12-14 weeks after payment submission.

Ooooh I see. The wording on the drop page confused me a little:QuotePlease note that this group buy will run from 2/9 to 3/10, payment submission date is within 2 weeks of the end date, and has an estimated shipping date of 12-14 weeks after payment submission.
I guess that stands for when the buyers money is forwarded to GMK, right?
I would rather have no novelties and instead have proper layout support if cost was the concern. That said, I actually like the 1u novelties now because it fits the left WinKey, right WinKey, and right MenuKey on the Realforce 87u and both Winkeys on Tsangan layout, but it is super weird that you would support Tsangan but not standard layout novelties.
This set seems to be bucking the trend and ignoring a lot of the lessons that were already learned from other recent GMK groupbuys.
At this time we are contacting GMK to see about fixing some of the novelty sizes, replacing the R4 ISO key that somehow disappeared in one of our revision, and see about that spacebar. Be aware that this may increase the price of the set slightly, but we're hoping to absorb the extra.

I got R4 ISO back. 1.25u Black Novelties and 6u Centered Stem. Does this render look okay?

it looks good, except that render looks more orange then ever :))
I asked this before, but no response.
Why is there 8 blank keys?
What is all the blanks even supposed to be used for?
