Is there any chance of getting at least one 1.5u "code" added into either the base kit or the novelties kit if adding it is to much of a price concern. I REALLY REALY would love to be able to use this on a mac and would prefer having a 1.5u code for that purpose.

So color matching hasn't started? I've seen some sets color match before GB starts and it helps with deliverty estimates a lot.

I am still really really sad we don't get at least 1.5u "code" I am super happy for the people who wanted their 6u bars and I know you want to hit good pricing but man it sucks.

I love the colourway of this set too much to skip without contributing with some, hopefully, constructive critisism for future sets.
The kitting invites a beautiful addition of a highly sought efter 6u, that will enable me to use it for my rare 6u HHKB layout. By doing that, I have to use a green coloured Fn on the split rshift, which breaks the colour pattern since the rshift is yellow. I could "fix" that by either using R4 Del, or buying the Novelty set. I find it a bit oxymoron, giving us an awesome opportunity to dress a HHKB with the base set, only to either force me to buy novelties to keep the intended pattern. I don't know if it's intentional or just an oversight, but I love this set so much that I was compelled to write about it. GLWGB nevertheless, it's a beautiful set.
