I’m missing the part where this helps me. The mods are different for classic beige/hineybeige and muted is not a beige set. What do you mean dixie mods? This set has always had icon mods and if you want to compare it to the R1 kit I think you’d be alone in preferring them. Predatory kitting? This base was dirt cheap and included support for most common layouts. Not sure what you’re on about, but do I know you? You seem to be following me across threads making negative and unproductive replies to all my comments.
They’ll almost surely rerun this set eventually. It’s a perennial classic. I’d just like to see it sooner rather than later.
Dixie mods is mentioned in the "reworked legends" in the original post. Some people don't like how the icon mods have been shifted. Personally I don't care/notice
The accent kit they are referring to is the 3A & 3C accent kit from Muted 2 - technically the green in 9009 is 3B but it's not off by much (3A is slightly lighter) and the red matches.
I think as far as kitting goes, the reason why some people strongly dislike the TKL-only base kit is that while it's "dirt cheap" if you
only need the TKL base kit but usually when you try to compare it to GMK base kits that include numpad, the base + numpad kit here tends to be more expensive. Personally I think it's a bit far to call it 'predatory' but I can see why there are gripes about the way that most janglad sets are kitted.
that being said, yeah if icon mods are a deal breaker then just pray for a R4
