Could you send together with my Moogle Order? Few weeks would not bother me much

That is an option on the order form.

Ok I’m in, I can’t resist anyway.

This should look good on Rag sets as well. :P

It will sort of match :)  In the image above, it does appear to look like the Ragnarok set with one major difference.  The Rag set uses 'standard' WYSE/SP fonts, whereas, the image above is a mockup of what the Cherry legend project is pursuing.

So, short story, the font used on this GB will not match the font on Rag's set.  But, the color scheme does look nice!

Yes the fonts won’t match obviously, I just took this mockup and switched white to red xD Nothing fancy. Only 2 of the 6 keys could clash with the font, so it’s no problem. Both fonts don’t clash anyway in my eyes. xD

The white cherry set can be combined with Red Alert! /e: Could someone compare the colors there?

No, the legend collection will still happen.  This group buy is to fill the gaps and provide extra money for prototypes and legend iteration where necessary.

So, while we're not doing the regular price tier game, if we start to snowball it might make sense to drop the price somewhat to encourage even more orders.  No guarantees, though.

By the way Hashbaz,
I opted for 2-in-1 shipping. My Moogle was Standard Shipping, but I want to do priority now with both in one box for safety reasons. I chose priority here, do I only need to pay the difference if its pay-time?

Yep, I made a note in your order to only charge the difference.

Awesome set by the way. Looking at Taeyoung's kbdmania interest check, he seems to have added a kbdmania mod key. I'm guessing that is something he's organising himself to make it more appealing? Or do we get that as well? ;)

Looking at his prices it looks like he's getting that made himself.

Nope, I did the SVG and am producing those with our orders.  Kbdmania exclusive though, sorry. :)

I put in the moogle order on 29 May, so it's been three weeks already.  Typical production time is 4 or 5 weeks I believe.  So combining shipping will hold up your moogle keys for a while.
