Yeah, I've seen these, $150 + vat + customs from Australia...

Yeah, I've seen these, $150 + vat + customs from Australia...

over the past few years i've foraged a handful of these, some for significantly less than those prices. it does take patience though

for the record, printed sets of blue, red, green, yellow, and orange all seem to still be floating around on retail sites. the rest are considerably rarer though

I considered myself very lucky when I found a XF0100KT1 set right here in the classifieds - at a reasonable price, too. Just the right place at the right time, I guess.

$95 per set.

Out of stock.

Wish I'd bought a set when they were still available, now that I have a RF87U and everything.

Yeah, I saw them, but they never in stock:(

[Puddsy]

they stopped making them in 2014

so /r/mechmarket or classifieds, for about $300

see if widebasket on ebay has any

I am pretty sure it's this keyset i used to see them in multiple colors.

Isn't it this one? expect it's red but much cheaper then the ones mentioned above.

Although the orange looks nice, it's still not yellow.

Do you think they will have those in stock again?

[sandy1995]

Probably not. They aren't made anymore so they're all just leftover dead stock at this point.

Guess what I got?

Wow that's the reverse of what I did, white alphas+green mods.
Asked Widebasket if they were getting any more of the red ansi set and replied they have no plans to restock in the future.

[rowdy]

Very nice - where did you find them?

I bought those on ebay for $150  )

Guess what happened?! I didn't have to pay custom fees! Only asked price.
I think they put value very low so there was no custom fees.

Now, I ordered locally Realforce 87UW 55g, so will be putting those on it this weekend
