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

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?

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

Dolch and Gibana is not nearly as cool as yolch.
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.

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.
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'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.

GMK usually take a couple days to reply, so I'll update when I get a reply.
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.
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...
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.
Just got this reply:QuoteRegarding 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?
Communication would be a +
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!
