At this rate we're going to be looking at 2023 for all these GBs that have been taking place in early 2021
If this hobby/field of business (depending on the perspective you want to take) keeps growing at the rate it has in the past year (and I am a part of that Covid wave, don't get me wrong), then at some point, the market forces will kick in and the demand will bring in actors that will want to capitalize on that. And with that, I don't mean the Alibaba 30$ sets, I mean same quality and price as GMK, Keyreative, Signature Plastics, just quicker. Obviously, the demand and people with thick enough wallets for lots of 150-250$ boxes of plastic are there, and the legacy players, by completely failing on the upscaling part of the business, are inviting others to fill the gap. No need to be cheaper, just need to be quicker. I am quite sure the market forces will serve to solve this problem in the coming years.
But yeah, if I get on board with a GMK set at this time, my cautious guess is around 18-20 months to delivery. On the other hand, we are talking about luxury goods nobody actually needs, to maybe that is a nice area to learn the virtue of patience in. /Johannes
