The base kit has hit the 50 MOQ mark! I'm hopeful at this rate we'll make it to 100 MOQ mark as well but at least now we can guarantee that Solar Green will get made

Thank you to everyone who joined in so far!

The base kit has hit the second MOQ mark! The final cost for base should now be $103 :thumb:

All other kits have hit the first MOQ mark (technically numpad is 2 away at this point in time but I'd buy it out if it stayed there until GB end, so let's just say it hit MOQ :p)

All MOQs met!

Edit: added another price drop for the Base kit

Quote from: Patty on Sun, 22 March 2026, 22:58:23

We do have one more sneaky base kit price drop at 200 MOQ! It'd be $93 at that point :eek:
