looks great, any chance of r3 page up and r4 page down to support the majority of 65% layouts?
Secong, since novelties can not cover the right nav column on 65/75, R4 pgdn and R3 pgup are needed in base

i hate to say it, but i'm sad that no sublegend kits will be offered. the burg is nice though.

camping is a classic either way. if the gb is a month away, can you share vendors yet?

I always tend to separate every Camping run, Hiragana belongs to r2 and this time the keyword is burgundy.
Oblotzky convinced me to do a new run, so I gave him the permission to organise with vendors.
What I can share now is, EU:Oblotzky, UK:Prototypist, CN:zFrontier. I will share the whole vendor list a bit before the GB starts.

Is it possible to get a render or two of the burgundy base without the accented spacebars?

Also just a side comment but I find the renders with the flipped spacebars pretty weird, can't say I'm a fan LOL

This is a hard question...I'm just afraid that 40s kits will not make MOQ, let me talk to the vendors.

If vendors push back, another option is to include minimal 40s support in the base kit, you just need to add 3 keys minimum:

1.25 r3 tab
1.75 r2 backspace
1.5 r3 enter

This physically covers a good majority of 40s.

+1 for physical 40s support

I still wish there was a Hiragana Sub Alt Alphas Kit so we don't have to wait for a Camping in Japan Burgundy Edition in 2025.

Trying my luck again with some questions:

-Is Burgundy a different color than the R2 accent color that was more brown to me?
-Any chance for some Hibi/Thok metal Artisans (I know there is a Salvun but always excited to see more, especially if they make like Enter keys etc)?
-Would you consider doing 2 novelties kit? A green one and a Burgundy one?

I feel we could get more novelties variety that way that will better match the base kit we are going for. I would really love a 1u R2 novelty, and some newer novelties would be nice so we could have something else than just Tents for the R4 1.25 and 1.5 and just something different than the first and second round.

I just feel it would offer so much more diversity instead of duplicates in another color (as well as to avoid some frustration that some novelties are only available in green or burgundy. And could have some more Japan oriented ones in case you reconsider a Hiragana Sublegends Alt Alphas kit).

All colors are the same as r1 and r2, some call it maroon, some call it burgundy, some call it brown. So it is up to your eyes.
Hibi cap is WIP, I'll share the render soon, it is indeed an enter key.
2 different novelty kits is a no go for this run.

As I mentioned, the theme "Japan" remains to r2, I'm sorry about it if this is a disappointment.

Understood, thanks for replying.

I will still hope we can at least get a 1u R2 for those Alice columns and 65% that often uses the most right keys for Novelties.

Very glad that camping is making a return. The colors are beautiful and it's a classic set. The things I'm confused about are the novelty kit and the overall theme for this run. You've included some weeb novelties from r2 but there is no hiragana sub legend kit nor the arrow keys with sub legends. A sub legend kit just makes sense considering the choices in the novelty kit.

On the other hand, since there are no hiragana subs for this run it would be nice seeing the return of more novs from r1 such as the campfire, stars, and crescent moon(new novs too that align with the classic camping theme!). I still hope that the novelties are subject to change as they are part of what makes this set an all-time great IMO.


Regardless, I will be picking up a basekit anyways since it was the set that got me into the hobby. Thanks for running r3!


TLDR: The novelty kit is confusing to the theme this run and lacks variety. I hope you'll consider adding more novelty keys that are true to the original camping theme even if you're already set on these ones. Feel free to disagree with my nitpicking.

I already expressed my opinion on the novelties but I wanted to echo this comment.

I really feel this R3 could benefit from more varied and coherent novelties.

Why have 2 kanjis novelties without a Hiragana sub-legend alphas kit.

I am not sure how many people will mix and match green and maroon novelties, but if you don't mix and match you really aren't left with much variety at all.

Please reconsider either having 2 separate green and maroon novelties kit with more variety or just revamping the current ones to be more varied and coherent.

Regarding those 2 "Kanjis" novelties, keeping those has nothing to do with the "Japan" theme in r2.
Yes, they are Kanjis character, but you may not know that Kanjis actually means Chinese characters, they are from ancient China origin.
These 2 are basically Chinese characters, well, slightly different than the modern Chinese character.
I'm keeping these 2 in r3 for my Chinese folks since I'm from Chinese origin and Camping was designed originally by a group of Chinese associated to the Camp-team in China.
I hope this clears the confusion.

Because Omnitype is the US vendor since beginning of this project and we agreed on GB slot, but we are still working on some last details.

Thanks for the update. Though I am somewhat confused as to why announce the US vendor as Omnitype before it has been confirmed.

This could have waited until it was tbh

Because Omnitype is the US vendor since beginning of this project and we agreed on GB slot, but we are still working on some last details.

Do you think that will include kitting changes?

Some small updates on this(11/11/2021):

- physical 40s support will be added to the base kits.
- side prints for ISO support will be added to the base kits.
- more renders are WIP, there are some flaws on the current renders, because they are made by 2 people parallel, the kit renders show what you will get.
- GMK price inquiry will be launched once the kit renders are updated.
- A Hibi brass enter key with the mountain novelty engraved and PVD coated in silver will be available, renders are expected during the weekend.
- 2 Salvun R1 caps with the camp fire novelty (the same novelty from the r2 Rama cap) will be available, renders are WIP.

Historically Kono pricing of sets has been much higher than other tier 1 vendors.

Historically Kono pricing of sets has been much higher than other tier 1 vendors.

This is official now, we will go with Kono for the US because we couldn't agree on some details with Omni.
About pricing, it's agreed with Kono that the base kits will not exceed $130 at GB price, I'll make sure that the other kits and artisans are priced in-line with other runs and reasonable.
I personally have a good relationship and history with Kono, with them being the US vendor for GMK Camping r1 and they have thousands on the waiting list for Camping to return.
So I think I'm more confident doing this with them again.

Great to hear that you have a good relationship with them… but a lot has changed in since 20117, when they ran the first round. The sentiment of a lot of people that have been in the hobby for a bit towards Kono is not the most positive, there was even a small conversation in the Top Clack server that they would rather buy from other overseas proxies than from Kono.

Still felt odd that a US vendor was preannounced without being confirmed and then going with such a lower class vendor as of late.

Hope others can learn from this.

I know, I feel sad that I eventually need to switch the US vendor.
This is kinda odd to me too, I used to talk to every vendor directly, but with Omni, Oblotzky was talking to them all the way because he had me convinced for a r3 and I trust him for everything.
It was my bad to announce the vendors before agree on everything.
I do have good experience with Kono so far and trust they will put every effort in this project.
If your concern is only about pricing, I think that's cleared out with them agreed on the $130 base pricing, not? It'd have been about the same with the other vendors.

Pricing was one concern, but that seems to be taken care of by you. Sadly, it’s just how Kono operates which is what deters me and others from supporting them, from very separated from the community, to lack of communication/ updates, to shipping and logistics … that is very much out of your hands after the gb goes live.

Agreed on price issues with Kono. Glad to see you’ve already discussed it with them and set a max price. But this is Camping. It should be able to sell for $120 per base kit, maybe even less. My bet is Kono will take all the money that’s on the table and sell them for $130.

You could probably buy a numpad kit on the aftermarket from R1 or R2 right now if you tried hard enough. Plenty of people will never use full-sized boards, or boards with numpads.
