After following this set for so long, it looks like the EU proxy no longer ships to the UK... All the best with the GB

As far as I'm aware this is a short term problem whilst brexit is being finalised for sets currently shipping, but there shouldn't be an issue by the time that this set delivers. That being said, for future GBs I will contact Jae to be the UK vendor
Just wanted to say I dig the header image, the funky type with that retro grain is so aesthetic ✨

Any chance for a R2 with English alphas in the base set?
Is there a Discord server to follow updates after the GB?
Numbers are quite low right now unfortunately, I think that might just be a reflection of how many sets are running and by virtue of being sandwiched between Serika and Muted. I expect things to pick up towards the end of the month and the beginning of February, so I am still hopeful.I think it's also about the lack of latin alphas in base kit compared to many other sets have them in base. People will look for a reason to skip one in order to choose between many good sets.

What will happen if some of the kits I've ordered not going to meet the MOQ?It'll depend on the sale, some vendors will try to buy out a certain number of kits if MOQ is close. You can see it in the gb thread of gmk yuri 2 or jtk grisanne.
Is postponing or prolonging a GB an option? Or maybe swapping alphas between the kits.
This set is too good to fall victim to unfortunate kitting and timing! :'(
I understand that you want to preserve a Japanese influence from the inspiration so here is an idea: what if you make some keys with sub legends/Katakana only and some Latin only? Seems like a good match for the album cover:This is not a good idea either. I think the safest choice is japanese-sublegends or mono latin alphas at the least.

I'd say it's even cooler than the previous variant.
at feedback going forward I will be
.Changing the set to Katakana sub legends, meaning the set will have both Japanese Kana and Latin legends

Sad to hear that. In that case the set is no longer interesting to me since I dont use ANSI layout and without a NorDeUK kit there is just not enough compatibility.
sublegends are sh!tBuyers prefer Latin Alphas. In order to preserve the weeb theme, sublegends are the safest choice.
people chose sub over mono are cun.ts and can **** off
sublegends are sh!t

or here is a crazy idea; normies can have their ****ty latin (mono or with sublegends) in the base, and add an alt alphas kit which is mono anything but latin
also @Lil maybe this set would do better as pbt (ie not gmk), there would be more kitting options and maybe more people would be interested if it was cheaper. i ****ing hate gmk, shiny ass overpriced garbage which cucks non-normie layouts.
imo this set would do well with somthing which doesnt rely on a "base kit" ie you chose an alphas kit and a mods kit separately. this way you cant alienate one group of people by trying to be true to the aesthetic in the base kit because there is no base kit.
i wake up every morning with the image of my gray board with mono legend iconographic
A note on pricing:
Following deciding kit pricing in November, the dollar has fallen from .85 to .81 to the euro, which effectively means a loss of 6 euros per basekit on the old pricing versus then.
For this reason we were forced to increase US pricing in order to maintain the price in euros, which is the currency that GMK invoices us in for production; to avoid making a loss per kit at the current moq of 250.
please bring this back, loving this set.
horribly subjectiveplease bring this back, loving this set.
NGL this set probably should stay dead. The colors clash so ****ing hard. The renders don't look that great and this set wouldn't look that great IRL. Probably should just stay here on Geekhack. I'm sure a minority of users like the look, but like, even if everyone who liked it bought it I still don't think it would be enough to hit MOQ. It's also getting harder and harder for sets to make it.

There have been 60 responses so far... almost everyone prefers cherry profile as their first choice. With lower numbers it might be a possibility of running things with KKB - what do people think versus CYL GMK?
answered! no hard preference about the manu, as GMK is slowly raising their prices beyond reasonablesness I won't complain about a KKB alternative

Makes me wonder about how much GMK basekit prices have changed, though I'm not about to figure that out. Especially tough when GB pages here don't say the prices and the vendor pages are lost to time. My very first GMK GB (Yeeti back in early 2021) actually had a more expensive basekit than the last GMK CYL set I got (Delta R2), and that doesn't even account for inflation so Delta was even cheaper. Probably depends the time frame of the comparison, and of course MOQ (Delta would have been even cheaper if more people had joined).

Between Olivia R2 (110$ base) in 2019 and Mictlan in 2022 there were high MOQ sets with low prices. Gmk Mictlan had two base kits each with numpad in em for 99$ each at GB in mid 2022.olivia R2 in 2019 falls outside of the timeframe I mentioned, and mictlan was a peak of the hobby set. two isolated examples in regional pricing hardly make a standard rule
No worries, i've listened to you and I will try my best to make it workAny further progress, Mr. Iconographic? :-[
