Update #1: In appreciation for the immense love we've gotten for rocket in the early-mid day numbers, we've decided to give away a free kendo to a purchaser of a rocket base kit, this can be cerakoted to a color of your choice, and you will be automatically entered into the raffle and 1 base = 1 Entry. Thank you guys again for your support and im happy to see this set going live.

Hey Guys! Sorry for the late reply to this with the low numbers we were starting to see as well as just some inconsistencies the set we weren't okay with, we've decided to pull it for now, expect to see it in the near future and we're sorry for pulling it. Anyone who purchased a set of Rocket will have their raffle spot moved over to our upcoming project, GMK Bingsu, and refunds are going out now. Sorry! Expect to see rocket make a return in 2020. :)

I was following this set from the beginning and I barely knew it launched.. Try some advertising next time, I think I saw one post on /r/mk, and that was it :/ 
Hopefully waiting till 2020 will magically increase interest. Or advertising. Waiting is sweet agony.

Darn :(

I was excited about this set for the wrong reasons - I wanted to buy the whiteout kit in addition to the main kit to recreate something like the DCS Red Alert keyset :)

I will for sure be waiting for the next pre-order. Just please get a NorDe kit for the final product!
I'm sure this will be successful with a little more invested in advertising.

Damn, I was getting ready to order this since I have two other sets that use WS1. Hope this comes back in 2020.

I think more marketing would help. There are so many good sets coming out right now that even a few posts or something would help awareness.

Can we still get the Maria mat?

but for reals whenever you run this, I will get it

Yeah, 100% my lack of marketing as well as me starting this set idea the same month i came into this hobby. Im learning from the growing pains and hopefully this set will come back with some serious changes while maintaining the core points and reasons people liked this sets

I can’t see anything to suggest SA and it says GMK right there in the title, so *shrug*

The same colors are on a set called SA Rocket, coming at some point on TKC and I presume other vendors.

That's interesting, I hadn't seen that. Looks like it's only being sold by TKC, I can't see it on any other venders sites at the moment. Odd that Rise hasn't mentioned it on here at all. One would hope that the GMK set will be made at some point, if the SA set sells, given that was proposed first (as far as I can tell).

It even says "Designed by Rise."

Quite so, that’s why I said it was weird that they haven’t mentioned it here.

I'm guessing it won't be a group buy since it says "in stock."  But I've been wrong before.

Edit: that might say "stock Signature Plastics colors" and I just read it wrong because of the line break...
