Woops! Looks like there are still necessary MODS in the alternate ALPHAS kit that should be in the BASE KIT. Boy that is embarrassing, glad I said something before this went into GB and you lost a bunch of people's interest because of such a tiny thing.

I'm working hard on the issue with the non-accented Esc and Enter in the last couple days. I think that I might have found a way to make it work.

Nice one - this will definitely be a big plus for some folks that are not buying the dark alpha set.

I am still thinking about buying the dark set too - I'm considering just putting up with having to use the 5 ISO keys from the grey NORDEUK set. That may be too annoying though as will likely look a bit of a mess :)

If you do a round two - have you considered doing grey versions of the keys that are black in the base set? To achieve a full set of grey. Not quite the vision of the set - but still nice to have as an option.

Which keys do you mean?

I had some long talks with my vendors and we came to the conclusion that we have to keep the kitting as is. We have to do it to avoid many inconveniences, trouble and risks that would occour with that, seemingly small, change.

With that being said, I really appreciate the feedback from you guys and you're definitely going to see those things being implemented into round 2 of stealth.

I'm excited to release Stealth tomorrow and I hope that you're too.

It's okay. Thank you for trying and for the transparency. I will sit out on R1 and perhaps join this GB in R2. All the best!

Out of interest - what were the problems that made the change not possible?

To resubmit to gmk for a another quote for at least 2 kits: base and blackout. Gb will be surely delayed. I'll wait for a better R2 too.

I don't think a delay would be a terrible idea - and my thinking would be not to rush. Things have already moved pretty fast for this IC comparatively anyway.
However I can understand those involved being keen to stick to schedule.

Delaying a GB is not really an option (unless something genuinely catastrophic happens). GB windows are arranged months in advance, and each vendor only has a limited number of slots each month, so delaying a GB by a month or so would mess things up for everyone involved (including other sets that are scheduled to run later).

Best looking GMK set ever that's primarily gray/black. Well done.

I'm already in and even got novelties and rama (matte) — and I never get novelties or rama. Great work! Q4 is a long way away...

If I can propose something for R2 please consider 2 separate base kits, one with the Anthracite alphas and one that is blacked out.

Just saw the pricing for base + alphas for this current one and it's just too expensive IMO (especially since I was another that wasn't a fan of the orange), as is often the case with these alpha add ons.
