Are there any updates on the MOQ numbers?

I really love this set. I'm in the GB for the base, novelties, spacebars, accents, and both THOK novelties...I might have gone a bit overboard  :-[

Final numbers
Unfortunately Forties was too far from MOQ so had to be canceled.

so what do we do if we did the GB with auramech now? They seemed to have gone rogue with the money and haven't responded to anyone or anything since december of last year... and now paypal won't do anything anymore because it's past the 180 days limit... :(

Asking myself the same thing. No way Aura is gonna keep hundreds of order of keysets.

Hey Plop - echoing some of the others on the thread. Do you know the status of color matching? Kono's updates page doesn't list the set in the lineup of it's next projects to go into prod. Understand that everything is an intense waiting game these days, but any additional detail that you can share would be appreciated.

Extras available for a steep markup on Kono.  Does anyone have the set to post pics?

Zfrontier is catching up on shipments due to china covid lockdowns so you can expect a delay from them
