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 :-[

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

Post by: mcheddadi on Thu, 29 April 2021, 22:34:02: 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... :(
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Retrocast
Post by: dalex100 on Mon, 10 May 2021, 22:26:31: Asking myself the same thing. No way Aura is gonna keep hundreds of order of keysets.
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Retrocast
Post by: dstaar on Tue, 11 May 2021, 01:02:29: what's the actual status of the keycap itself, are all colors matched and approved ?
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Retrocast
Post by: lycantivis on Wed, 09 June 2021, 01:16:31: Still waiting for v4 for the all dark alphas kit?
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Retrocast
Post by: Eoen on Mon, 15 November 2021, 09:28:15: 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.
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Retrocast
Post by: pixelpusher on Tue, 14 June 2022, 21:56:16: 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

Post by: kronograf on Fri, 26 August 2022, 00:06:53: zFrontier shipped me everything ~~except Cartridges for some reason~~ oh it got cancelled. Set looks great tho, pretty close to renders!
