[GB] GMK SNES - Hype slowly rekindling...

[ideus]

Update, I am talking to Sherry at Originative to see if he can make this happen.

Nice to know that this may eventually happen; but that vendor tends to overprice the items, unfortunately.

I would disagree. I just ran a 153 piece set with Sherryton and the GB was for $125.

A price like that would be very good for this set. What set did you ran?

[kconfire]

Hype train never stopped!

CHOO CHOOOOOO

I don't care who runs it, as long as it's made by GMK.

This needs to happen.

GMK Blue Alert. Set is shipping to people who placed order as we speak. I got my set on Monday

Sherry is extremely wonderful to work with.

The difference normally is between GB which pricing is standard, or stock items which they pay upfront for, so there is a higher cost to the consumer. Hope that it is GB style and not FCFS in-stock!

This is great news, thank you for the update!!

[TastyNico]

I'm really looking forward to this!

Massdrop would be obviously nicer for the lower price and more compatibility kits, but I guess Originative would be fine too.

If you would like to discuss fulfillment on this group buy just send a private message at your earliest convenience.

Uhhhh I only see options for Canada and Conus shipping on Mechkeys?

Please tell me if the set finally gets made I'll be able to order one, have been waiting way too long for this...

Uhhh prob need a Euro/Asia proxy, otherwise cost would be quite a bit.

According to canadapost.ca a small packet international would be 12$.

If you get the chance to run this pls atleast provide proper shipping and don't make half of us use proxys.

Hey! Could I ask why you would prefer it to ship from lets say, canada to you? With tax and VAT etc, wouldn't it be better if you could purchase it from within the EU to save all the headache of importation? Just wondering

Importation isn't much of an issue, but going trough a proxy seems way to much of hassle.

Depending on price (and type) of items you receive, you might even end up paying only VAT so no additional tax on top, and VAT is taxed on everything (even when bought in Germany).

So importation fee wise it might be as cheap as buying local.

Even if shipping cost from Canada is higher (which it should not) it doesn't justify the pain of having to use a proxy.

Not offering international shipping is just laziness of resellers in most cases imo

Well I can assure you that there is no laziness on my part. I've been shipping to EU/UK/Japan/China/Australia for everything I sell for the past year on mechkeysca. The reason you don't see a shipping price for product on my site on INTL orders is because it has to be paypal invoiced after the fact. Rates change, I can't do a flat rate like everything else.

Also OP - I'm still very interested in hosting this. I believe I've left a PM to you, awaiting resonse.

[BAS1C]

Well, hope this gets picked up soon.. If not will be giving my money to violet tendencies instead! Need some more purple in ma life.

Violet Tendencies, Wizardy, Dolce & Gabana...
too many keycaps. lol

[drewba]

I am so ready for GMK SNES

Nah, those sets aren't for you.  Just wait for this perfection.  Dolch and Gibana is not nearly as cool
as yolch.  Wizardy just confused me b/c it sure should have a Harry Potter theme with color packs and novelties for different houses.  Violet tendencies... well snes is just better.  More classic.  More unified. Wait for it!!   Or just get them all

[HoffmanMyster]

Oooooh, great to see some progress in here!    I'm still rooting for this set. 

[kconfire]

Hype train never stops

[hashbaz]

My ^hype for this set is eternal and unchanging.  ┒(⌣˛⌣)┎

[nightdriver]

i tried that purple on gray tai hao set in the hopes that it would help me deal with not having this, but it just wasn't doing it for me.  i need my GMK!

[Puddsy]

Dolch and Gibana is not nearly as cool as yolch.

my son

[BAS1C]

Soooo can anyone just pick this up and run it? Or whats the deal here?

[audax989]

Isn't this in massdrops hands now?

[TalkingTree]

Isn't this in massdrops hands now?

MD was like, "yeah btw we might not be able to fit it in this year after all." And haven't heard a peep from them since.

Guess not.

[autobot]

The only thing screaming at me about this set is the arrow keys on the Super FX Chip Pack should have the triangles, not arrows, to look more like the SNES D-Pad.

[Qu4troQu4tro]

Pls let's bring this back

Soooo at this point can anyone/someone just start this or do we still need to get permission or something?

I asked months ago if anyone can run it and never received a response.

Honestly I would consider this post a yes to that (quite old but still)

Well here's what happened. Andy and I got the set all finalized with GMK and updated renders, then MD was like, "yeah btw we might not be able to fit it in this year after all." And haven't heard a peep from them since.

So....

Need a plan B

I am not opposed to letting someone else take over. I haven't been doing anything with keebs lately.

[AlexG]

I think Oco tried to run it but ran into some issues? Can any other vendors try to pick this up? Can we just run an old fashioned GB. This is my dream set!

I would be willing to look at running this old-style. I ran several big buys years ago. Only catch is I would want to do it in SA profile.

Intelli, can we get this man set up to run this? He is very reliable. Would make it happen. I will pm you to get a better form to contact you and we can get this thing going.

Who is volunteering to run this old-school style?

I haven't come to an agreement with any vendors. But if someone reputable in the community is willing to run it themselves, I will be happy to give my blessing.

[xondat]

I'd be willing to get it running with the help of a couple proxies (for NA and Asia).

Previously I'd say well someone else should, but it's been so long, and no real action has been taken, so...

Contact mykeyboard or candykeys. Great vendors and both of them are running GBs for GMK.

I think the layout should be updated though for a better compatability.

JMD here on GH could probably be the NA dude. I’ll get him to PM ya

[JMD]

Like previously mentioned, and PM'd to Intelli.

I am willing to run this group buy for Canada, and CONUS and work with mykeyboard.eu (david) for the EU/UK proxy.

[FoC_Tow]

Would more then love to see this happen.

Feel free to add stuff for compatibility reason, but pls don't change/take away any of the features, I need them all in my life <3

[kconfire]

Suspense is killing me

[xondat]

Just got this reply:

Regarding the "GMK SNES“ sets my colleague just told me, that he is in contact with another retailer.

Obviously the designer already transferred this project to this retailer. Therefore we can’t send a quote as long as the other one is pending.

I guess we wait for things to be announced? Maybe Intelli can clarify?

Edit: Intelli, you should make it clear what's happening. A lot of people have been waiting for way too many months for no movement. Are you able to give permission or is it in someone elses hands now?

Alot of people have been waiting, as well as alot of people offering to make it a reality. Communication would be a +

nice joke

nobody communicates anything in this community

What kind of agreement are you trying to get people to make? Just curious why Oco wasn't able to run it.

[intelli78]

Good news! Originative/Sherry is confirmed to run the set! We just have to finalize things with GMK and send them some plastics for color matching, and then it shouldn't be long. I will let Sherry speak to the specifics!

I hope it'll be a group buy with sensible cap choices.

I just hope for a fair price, this vendor tend to be in the premium side.
