Most likely extremely poor sales from poor marketing. The days of posting GBs only on Geekhack and doing no marketing are long gone. Posting here on top of Reddit and Instagram are bare minimums.

Should add the vendors as collaborators on your Instagram post indicating details of the GB which then appears on their Instagram posts when they accept the collaboration. Some vendors are much better at getting visibility for sets than others but I barely knew about this set other than seeing it appear here. I started out from a blank Instagram account running into the same problem when I ran my own set. Gotta advertise if you want stuff to be made.

Hi yall, I forgot to update the Geekhack page but the GB was cancelled due to poor sales and a pricing issue which is why it was cancelled so early.

I still would like to see the set be made in some manner, preferably in stock. I appreciate everyone for the support!
