Still really interested in this. Alternative mods might be cheaper than alternative alphas as a kit.
If that’s happened for GMK sets, I don’t know any. For every alt mods kit that I know of w a companion alt alphas (failed GMK rocket, Carbon r2, taro 2, posh) the mods were more save GMK laser r2 where blocknet w/o numpad coverage tied gaijin, and the alt alphas kits have mostly stayed below 80 and often below 75, and the alt mods kits are 65/70$ if blocknet/micons on drop w higher MOQ, with most at 80 (aurora Polaris) and up, including those from years ago (terminal r2 w stock colors was 90), to the infamous 150$ umka mods.
If you price both alt alphas and alt mods at the same moq, alphas are very likely to be cheaper.
