Can't we just do some poll or so beforehand? To gauge if the overall demand for these extra sets is there?
I don't understand why you wouldn't run those; I can't imagine not hitting the MOQ is the reason...
Go ahead, build the kits get a quote from GMK, sell 3 norde and colevrak kits and then refund it and call it a day

I would buy 100 of each just to prove you wrong. You not being interested in something does not mean much. You are one person. You have one opinion. Now imagine many people with many different opinions.
It's the same story in every thread. Look at the lastest oblivion: 1.6k base kits sold, 61 colverak and 113 international kits. Jamon: 846 base, 37 iso kits. 9009 R3: 445 base, 11 norde kits.
If I was designing a keyset, I wouldn't waste time on child kits sell an average of 4% compared to moq. So if you really want to prove me wrong go ahead spend the 5k getting the child kits to moq. Because if you're looking at it from a business perspective, you're not selling 100 norde kits unless 2.6k+ units of Olivia++ sell.
I'd love to know where you get the numbers on your proposed losses of alternative kits to the overall sale. Oblivion's original moq for 125$ was 500 base kits. It surpassed it so far that a new price drop at 1000 kits came into play. It eventually ended up at over 3 times the original moq of 500. Colverak and International both hit past their moq, so I don't know how that fits "the same story," but I would LOVE to pretend for a second that they did not for the sake of helping your argument and getting insight on how they "aren't worth it". Let's pretend only 1 of each kit sold with their moq's of 50 units. I'd pretend 0 sold, but then the kit would just be scrapped, no harm no foul. You're looking at 49u*$57 + 49u*75 = $6368 lost by running AND fulfilling the kits, and that's only the absolute worst case. You expect all of us to believe that 3xing the base kit moq got impacted heavily by alternative layouts? ****, how many of base kits (or addons) do you think would not have been purchased without alternative layout kits?
I'm an alternative layout user, and I'm very down telling alternative layout users to get ****ed. Seriously I mean that. All I ask is that people say it how it is. Don't beat around the bush and try to use some weird pseudo logic to justify not running the kits on hype sets like oblivion or olivia, how it's 'not worth it'.
