Title: [GB] GMK Sparta - Running now on Drop!!!

After a long wait GMK Sparta is finally LIVE on Drop.com (https://drop.com/buy/drop-gmk-sparta-custom-keycap-set)


If you created a list of history’s most prolific warriors, the Spartans would be right at the top. Fierce and highly skilled, they were known not only for their prowess on the battlefield, but for their regimented way of life. GMK Sparta captures the spirit of Sparta with a handsome (and historically accurate) colorway representative of the Greek warriors’ red tunics and bronze lambda shields. Soft white alphas and victory red modifiers are underscored by gold legends and accents. Crafted in Germany in famous Cherry profile, GMK Sparta features a doubleshot ABS construction tough enough for any typist.

FAQ
Q:Where are the deskmats?
A: They are currently being sampled, after the samples are approved they will be listed on the Drop website and able to be ordered.

Q:When will these keycaps ship?
A:Estimated date is March 2022 but that date is subject to change as there may be delays along the way.


Finally I would like to thank everyone for sticking with this project since it's inception. It wouldn't be possible without you!

I’m glad this is running again.

Any chance we could get the Rama collab of yore? I’d buy from Rama directly or whatever.

Jumped in!

Make sure to use the coupon code "SPARTA10" to save an extra $10 if you order before end of day Wednesday. Pretty great value for a full base kit at that price.

Unfortunately not, this time around we'll probably not have a rama cap.

Given that this is on drop, will this be a permanently restocking set, like the Mito sets, or will it be a one-off (of course with a possible round 2)?

If everything goes well in the GB period it will be a restocking set.

It is wrong to say it this way. Last time OP stopped the project way before the gb ended since he thought it would not pass the MOQ, which I think was actually not likely to happen.

Congrats on the rerun! Will the deskmats make it this time?

They will! They're going to be released at a later date however.

It's too bad I can't afford this set right now. Will try to buy towards the end of the gb, particularly if the MOQ isn't met.

Yes, however they're being sampled right now and they won't be released until the colors are perfected.

Looks like the images from the desk mat above got pulled.  Did the desk mats get killed?
