I received mine earlier today but i was busy and didnt get the chance to post. Looked like this when it arrived, with only one row being shifted, which i think was from the UPS guy putting it on the porch floor vertically instead of just handing it to me. I was literally at the door waiting for him to walk up and I said Hi to him but he decides to put it on the floor >.>
Not bad for a long trip to Cali.
I'm inspecting now and i'm actually quite disappointed :/
This being my first GMK set (to arrive) i was excited.
I enjoy the color of this set but that's about it. I though they'd be heavier feeling or feel thicker, but they almost feel like any other cap. Probably just me, but idk.
But my main problem is, as discussed, the color bleed & blending. you can see some color bleed through, and i'm okay with that, but the swirls... that's not okay.
At first i checked the QWERT row that was shifted on arrival, and i thought they were scratches, but then read up on this thread and seems to be the pain, which i find to be worse :|
Most of the white (or whatever color) caps have this noticeable swirl effect on at least one side.

But then you have caps that have a larger more noticeable dark spot liket his arc that looks like someone did it with a paint brush.

I'll keep the set though, just wish it would have turned out better. Id rather have paid more and waited longer if I wouldnt gotten the great GMK quality i've heard so much about.
