It wouldn't go into group buys for sure--that subforum is only for actual group buys run on GH.  It could go here:

But really this is probably the most logical subforum for your post already.

Not really worth for just two small pieces of aluminium

IMO

I'd agree. Something in the vicinity of $15.99 would be cool at the lowest drop.

I don't think it's too expensive, but I agree: at $20 or $25 this becomes an excellent deal.

Still pretty cool to see some other options to customize your Ergodox. Did they ever sell just the Arcylic case seperate?

Wasn't the optional upgrade to the aluminum top plates in the previous Ergodox kit drop just $10...?

if you got that option, did you ALSO get the normal acrylic one so you could swap?

So did this drop end or was it cancelled?

Edit: I guess it was funded???
