Thank you everyone for the plethora of feedback available already, definitely more than I anticipated.
Could the git modifiers be a separate kit instead of being it's own base kit? Otherwise, if I want to get the monochrome base, git mods, and the hagamoro alphas, I'd have an extra set of alphas just taking up storage space (and money).
I would be interested in seeing the git mods in their own kit. I already have the base kit from the first run and would love to have the git mods to add onto that, but I don't necessarily want a second set of alphas.
I want to focus on having affordable base kits, and as colored mods are the primary colorway of this set, I definitely don't want those to end up costing too much for basic coverage. GMK Oblivion R1 was 135$ per base, I estimate it to be 139$ at 250 units, 119$ at 500 and 109$ at 1000 units for the Git Base Kit. Making the Git mods separate would bring that price up to 200$ or so, turning most buyers away, and thus also putting that kit at risk of failing MOQ. I can't have the most important part of this group buy be subject to such a price and risk.
For sure interested! Will there be a "Git Gud" cap like the SA version?
Unfortunately no, for SA that key was very cheap to add. GMK charges almost 4 times as much for new legends to be made, and I stripped down the base kits to the most essential coverage to ensure a good price. I learned valuable lessons with SA Green Screen (having the mod kits cover everything and thus excluding too many buyers due to price) and seeing how Carbon R2 performed with its monstrous base kit. I want to focus on good pricing on base kits.
Absolutely. Been waiting on this since the Reddit tease months ago.
Edit: Can you please make monochrome an add on kit rather than a full separate kit? I'd like to possible buy monochrome mods, but don't want to have to buy two full key sets, lol...
will there be an option for monochrome mods by themselves?
+1 for separating the monochrome mods as an add-on kit.

The problem with making Monochrome Modifiers a separate kit would be the inability (well, possible but way too pricey) to combine them with the Hagoromo Alphas, as you would still need to buy a base kit just for the remaining TKL nav keys, function row and such)
How about a function row with git modifiers available as a novelty kit? I personally wanted those. Anyhow I'm def picking these up.
Most git commands are too long for 1u, if anything the tenkeyless.asm kit from SA Oblivion would make sense, but I don't want to weigh down this buy with more flare, 11 kits is already plenty for a GMK buy. I also removed a VIM kit already, before anyone asks for that. I want to keep things simple and not have people overload their carts with fluff and then be disgusted by the final total. It's going to be enough as it is.
You know I'm in.
I think we've talked about this before, but I want to bring it up again. Should Hagoromo Cadet include spacebars at least? It's kind of a lot to have to buy Base + Hagoromo Alphas + Hagoromo Cadet to be able to use Hagoromo Cadet. Having just the alphas included in Oblivion Cadet makes sense since the Base kit includes Oblivion spacebars and numpad, but Hagoromo Cadet is a little different because of the base kit.
I do remember you mention this, and it seems you already forgot my answer
- The cadet alphas don't cover the numbers row, function keys or the 8 special character keys to the right of the Latin letters. It would basically double in price to add all that stuff.
I saw someone else suggest separating 40's from assembly. +1 to this.
That kit will have an MOQ of 100, with a price drop of 20$ or so already at 150 units. Having a bigger set with merged buyers makes more sense IMO. Also remember that all the legends already exist now thanks to GMK Space Cadet, so seeing how kono was able to offer that same kit in GMK Calm Depths for 139$ is a good sign to me. I would expect it to be 139$ for 100 and 119$ for 150 units on MD.
Weeb alphas? plez!
hmm weird there must be a mistake i dont see any hiragana alpha options here sir
gib Hiraganas
I'm trying to get:
1 x Hagoromo Alphas
1 x Oblivion Alphas
1 x Monochrome Mods
1 x Git Mods
1 x Assembly Mods
2 x spacekeys, 1 x alternate functions. That's a lot of grey alphas I'm going to have to sell.
Yeah, the kits really need to be redistributed. As they are rn, I'd be passing on some kits I'd probably normally get. I think having separate alpha and mod kits would be best like how the SA run was done.
I'd also really like to have base mods with normal legends...
I really wish I could just offer the kits split up into a more modular system like how it is done with SA/DSA buys, but that's unfortunately not how GMK operates. For GMK Oblivion R1 I initially wanted to do the same (regular mods, monochrome mods, gray alphas and white alphas) but buying one mods + one alphas would have cost 160$, while as single base kits we were able to offer it for 135$. There are very few people that want to get all the combinations possible, but most will stick to buying one base and leave it at that, so I don't want to burden the majority with the wishes of the minority.
Something like this was also brought up when I pitched these kits to private groups before, another reason being able to extend round 1 sets. However I must focus on having a smooth round 2 buy, and the best way to do that is ignore that round 1 exists.
Any options for mods only, for those who already participated in SC. While at it, how about crimson cadet alphas as well??
Sorry but I will not butcher the main kits of this buy to accommodate mixing them with another set. And Crimson Alphas are completely out of the question for this buy, the Cadet alphas offered here are a novelty, this is not a extension of that GB. Crimson Cadet will still happen on its own, don't worry!
I will continue to gather everyone's feedback and keep improving upon the kits.
