SA sets are generally limited runs. The two I have were made once, and only once (Nuclear Data Green and Hack'd by Geeks).Thanks, yeah I've been keeping my eye out.
Although there's a lot more SA sets around these days. If you watch classifieds (https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=59.0) you might find a set of two turning up for sale from time to time.
Welcome. Oh man, keep me updated when you get the B. Mini! Let me know how you like those clears, I'm torn between gateron greens or clears

It seems there's enough demand for them to be in constant production though it could be because they're rare that there is that demand?
It's more a case of the cost for a small run being a bit excessive. Group buys work because lots of people want to buy the sets, so the manufacturer can setup their equipment and get the right coloured plastic in and do one large run, rather than setting everything up for just a few sets.Makes sense considering the esoteric nature of this hobby.
Most people who buy in are unlikely to buy a second set, so some time has to pass until there is enough interest to do another big run.
Sometimes Pimp My Keyboard will make some extra sets and sell them in their online store.

Considering most consumer goods are made in the 6 digit plus category, even a thousand sets of keycaps may not be worth a mfr. time and effort.
I did order the Filco doubleshots and that may satiate the itch a little until the jukebox is being made :D

Lookin' good feelin' good :cool: :thumb:
With the OE keycaps it felt a little hollow, now they feel solid.
The way it's going, I'll be in for many future SA group buys :eek:
