Title: Sanctuary DCS (SP) on Massdrop

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/sanctuary-dcs-keyset

If keypuller is correct, 500 base sets were sold back in 2013. If there is near that quantity there could be some nice price breaks down the line.

So true
This used to be a very popular one, but my wallet belongs to GMK now :(

I'm not sure, but I think this might be a limited run, if these are the remaining ones from Originative

Off topic, I think there is market for more SP DCS sets, I personally don't need them and won't use them in the future, yet there are few custom DCS sets, almost all custom sets are D/SA now

That thought crossed my mind too, but originative's website shows their base set as sold out. also ship date: dec 18. is there another sign that these could be from originative?

If they did an updated Sanc set with GMK, that would hit moq easy..

Ok Ivan or someone do it...3, 2, 1, GO

If Originative sells Sanc's, it should be their design or an acquired design I assume, so it might be a new production too

But, when Massdrop starts selling something, I'm assuming they make the seller pull the product from their website, another reason I don't like MD, so something being out of stock wouldn't mean much in this case, but I still think you are right, I remember checking the set before, I don't remember it being in stock

As far as I understand, Sanc set is liked for it's legends, not a possibility with GMK's

They've pulled sets from their site when they run drops before so they could be doing that again, although it would be weird to only pull the main set.

They are also very conservative with their custom keycaps, their debut had very limited custom legends/keycaps, from the tone of it, I deduct even seeing some mainly used non-standard keycaps from JT will take some time

SP seems very agile in this aspect, I think there was a time they were very eager to please and did all these during that time, but that time might be over too, since they are probably selling their existing legended sets well, it would make sense to concentrate the efforts there

When was the last time SP even ran a DCS set? The last one I can find is Green Tea from the end of last year/beginning of this one.

I still see old SP DCS sets in classifieds sell for their original GB price or more super fast so there's a pretty good chance this will do a lot better than I expected. The ship date could be a little rough though, runs right up into Christmas.

Thanks for the heads up Sed8  :thumb:

Now to figure out which artisan caps to sell to fund it. 

This set will get its own board and be on display when not playing Diablo.  Now to see if I can find one of those acrylic black and red cases *Badwrench looks dreamily off into the distance

Very, very bad shipping date for international orders. With it being just week away from Christmas and New Year, the odds of having your parcel lost or stuck are so high, I'd be reluctant to throw in $90 shipped on that set
