Alpha sets don't really need to have anything purple, and is probably better that it does not. Just something that 'goes' with purple. Making it go with other existing sets in some fashion too would probably be the best move.
I see you guys beating on a dead horse.... I'm saying this cause previously I expressed desire of finishing the rest with the purple modifiers + some black keys alpha numeric + space bar in order to have full 104 set with purple and black on white legends.
Since lots of peeps said there is not enough interest for the purple I thought ok then if we have to move on with different color combos, then it is what it is.
From my perspective and thinking logical if it were in order for a full set to happen as in purple I will have to buy the whole set and have double the purple modifiers since we had bought them in this 1st GB.
Honestly if I'm going to pay all over again for the same modifiers, I'm sorry, then 2nd GB has to speak in my favor if we still are going with purple modifiers full set, we know we cant do only partial modifiers cause we want more new comers to join in, and those new comers didn't participated in the 1st GB.
From my perspective, if the 2nd GB has decided to go with any type of modifiers that's purple, no matter what the color of the legend is, I could care less of the legend color because either way I WILL BE BUYING PURPLE all over again!.... You can toss it and turn it either way with the color of the legend, but purple modifiers are purple......
So if we are going again brand new set with purple modifiers the only way I jump on it is if I can save some DINERO! and actually GET 2 sets out of it!!!
Here is how:
We have 2nd GB 104 with all extra modifiers and extra alpha keys for ISO layouts and some other layouts:
1) Modifiers Purple with white legends, (Dolch) alphanumerics gray with white legends - see?
2) Black caps with white legends numerpad (+,0) , some alphas to match ISO and some different layouts & languages, ISO enter, ISO left shift, moogle kit
3) All of the above paired with this BNIB that can be had for an offer of $35

Go crazy with it if you want later on, mix and match, but you have 2 complete sets to mix and match at will.
I can see my self paying all over again for purple modifiers, but only this way.... I have no problem buying the purples again in full 104 set, but when I buy that MY7000 board I know I will pull out Dolch set too!!!!
Sorry guys but I vote with my wallet, and those MY7000 boards on the ebay link I posted, are begging to be used properly.
