I really should have bought a Hyperfuse set It's okay sir. I represent a group of gentlemen who might be able to help you out with that...for the right price muahahaha. Just kidding. There will be plenty for sale, and I would imagine CtrlAlt will have some too.

Such bravery facing 4 sets of GMK! A true hero of the keyboard community. The community need you once more in these are dark times.Will you heed the call? Will you stand with the Knights Miami?-R
Just ordered. So much to love in this GB it's just silly. If you have incomplete WoB sets lying around you really need to take a look at this GB.For example: Those CR+2B mods (in the mod pack) are the bees knees.
Been waiting for something like this for a while and if I miss it, I'll just be swimming in a sea of regret like usual.
Elrick is right, it is going to exceed expectations, and there will some sad faces on those who missed out once the board pics start to flow. -R
two weeks left, did we almost reach MOQ on base kit?
Quote from: shower_king on Tue, 16 June 2015, 01:18:01two weeks left, did we almost reach MOQ on base kit?I'm guessing we're still a ways offI imagine the bulk amount of orders come at the beginning, with a steady but slow trickle throughout the middle, finishing with a burst of FOMO buyers
What's FOMO buyers?
Quote from: rsadek on Wed, 17 June 2015, 00:17:41What's FOMO buyers?Fear of missing out.
We're getting pretty close now. Lets get more orders in! If you have been waiting around to order now is the time. I'm pretty optimistic, I may just go ahead and start invoicing next week.
All you fence sitters, get in the game!If you only ordered one or two sets, consider doubling or tripling. You won't get another chance at this!
In the order form, you're asking for the adress in that order: City, State/Province, Postal codeIs that the right order? In Germany, we usually do Postal code, City, State/Province. Just want to make sure that I'll recieve it!

+1I've participated in Ivan's GB and I have to agree: his administration of GBs is top notch.

Sophisticated, smart, unique, and not obnoxious.
I have the feeling this is one of those group buys that doesn't really get too many people hype for some reason, but once pictures start popping up people will be begging for another run. This set is a must this year IMO. Sophisticated, smart, unique, and not obnoxious. Can't wait Ivan!

Doubled up my order. I want this set so bad.

With most GMK GBs you can reference existing boards (Dolch, Olivetti, Beige, etc.) or non-GMK counterparts (Hyperfuse, Red Alert) to get a decent feel for the end product.I definitely agree that once real pictures come in there will be a huge spike in interest.
That only plays a small role in the equation. I'm sure the primary things that hinder this GB from taking off is exposure and price. I've said it again and again Trumph Adler did phenomenal on Massdrop. I never imagined those big numbers. TA not only has a unique colorway(which they had to custom make), but also a unique profile. The colors we are using here are out in the wild, but just in the form of CMYK Modifiers. People should be able to get an idea of how it's supposed to look. As for pricing it's so tricky. Many people want something short of a masterpiece, but are not willing to pay the premium. This set I can honestly say I want/need. I don't even participate in SP group buys anymore because of the lack of quality control.Besides what's so fun about GMK making Dolch, Olivetti, and Red Alert over and over again? It's GMK you know it will be a homerun.
And... I'm in Come on !
I just passed a fun certification program and I might indulge in these caps as a form of celebration. TEMPTING.
Quote from: slip84 on Mon, 22 June 2015, 19:01:26I just passed a fun certification program and I might indulge in these caps as a form of celebration. TEMPTING.This set is definitely worth indulging in. No better way to celebrate than splurging on the sexiest set available. We will all be celebrating when that day comes. Do you want to be there celebrating with us? I hope so!
It would look more or less like this... (Attachment Link) Ignoring the legends will be a little different as I just did a quick color manipulation on an old photo.
