don't add norde, look at the numbers, not many people want it even if it is cheap
though i do like the Q@ and Mu legend.
haven't been paying much attention to this IC but it looks to have shaped up nicely, might get a set
I‘ve looked through the numbers of groupbuys with international kits on massdrop and although I think massdrop isn‘t a representative source for iso kits I still think you are partially right.
Interest in this set isn‘t a lot higher than moq and interest for a ‚norde kit‘ is at 10% at most, which doesn‘t seem to justify the extra costs for the 90 or 95% that don‘t need it.
But imho the inclusion of norde shouldn‘t be a solely financial decision as long as it doesn’t jeopardize the success of the groupbuy. Not including language specific keys is building barriers especially for new members of the community.
Don‘t get me wrong here. I don’t think including more keys is beneficial for this gb but I do see the tendencies of denial for language specific kits with concern.
Novelties: That‘s sad but I‘m still interested, mainly because of the coloring. What are your plans now? Include the skull cap in the main set? Doing new novelties or changing the ones not accepted?
