Oh, I misunderstood it as buy 2 get 1 of them for free which wasn’t what it was :see_no_evil:

It really is. But you need all 3 to be in the same location so you don’t lose the savings by having to ship them to the other 2 people.

It’s not outside of my normal spending habit to buy 3 sets but I’m not sure they have a lot worth dropping money on at the moment. I’d rather buy SA retro sets. :grimacing:

This sale isnt for everyone, but I want to give insight here.

  • We just had a Labor Day sale where the base kits were $99
  • We have recently taken on fulfilling all the Mechs and Co GMK sets, which is going to cause a space issue at our warehouse
  • This promotion is geared at the people who want to purchase multiple base kits, and offers a pretty good discount for those interested
  • The sale also helps our space issue by encouraging people to get 3 base kits at once.

Hope that helps give a little more thought to the sale!

New DCX set. I coulda sworn they already made this but I guess I’m thinking of the JTK set. Been looking for a green set and been looking to try a DCX set so I’m giving it a shot.

Nice! That’s a nice looking set. I had requested they run the dark green of Jasmine as it’s own set and it appears someone else ad Drop agreed with me! I own the JTK emerald set. It appears the drop set is slightly lighter in color (also, no sub-legends, of course). The JTK set is quite dark. Not as dark as DCS Vert, but definitely an “inkier” green. Now, make it MT3 and in-stock please :slight_smile:

Reminds me of Solarized Dark which looks great to me but still out of reach for PBT fans.

Yes, I’m aware of Kono’s KDS Solarized Dark keyset. Can’t trust them.

See what I mean (from Reddit - Dive into anything):

Only GMK got the colorway right. Others look blueish, not emerald.

I have the JTK set as well, and wish it was a little more saturated. This set might fit the bill. I may give it the DCS Vert treatment, and use the DCX Dolch mod colored enter and escape keys as accents :thinking:.

Lot’s of extra keycap sets available from prototypist today. I’m interested in GMK Terror which I somehow had completely missed. Not sure how that’s possible, but it’s a nice set in the renders. Fun novelties. I’d love to see it IRL if anyone happens to spot a photo in the next few weeks.

I think there will be extras showing up on Novelkeys eventually since this is one of the Mechs & Co. sets that they’ve agreed to fullfill.

FYI, it does not look like the renders (I snagged a base kit from ZFrontier a month or so ago). I’ll see if I can give you some more accurate pics.

Also, it does suffer from the recent twisted stem mod issue.

Here are some accurate representations:

Ah. This is a different set. GMK Terror is supposed to be a Goosebumps themed set that’s purple and green.

No idea how I was completely unaware of the set.

Ah, okay, lol. I thought you were just shortening the name. I know what set you were actually referencing. It reminds me of that SA set a few years ago that was joker themed (can’t remember the name off the top of my head though).

Ain’t it very similar to mecha1? Tho MiTo always use his own color combinations. :thinking:

I would go for GMK Slasher instead, that one feels like it slipped pass many.

Yeah seems similar to Eva except there’s no black and maybe the green is less eye bleeding. I do like these shades of green and purple though. Seems like a good Halloween set!

Here are the sample photos of the colors from Novelkeys

Looks like candy!

I agree about GMK Slasher. In fact…I bought a lot of slasher kits from Project Keyboard. :headstone::skull: :sob: :sob:

Yep. Classic set. I like the lighter purple on the alphas of terror. And the green again seems less “toxic”

That’s the one.

I’m out several kits of Binsgu R2 myself. Got played by M&Co and PK in the same year :sob:

~calling out to any white knight companies out there…~

I wonder when GMK will chime in on the PK situation (if I haven’t missed it). I’d love to know what invoices are are already paid.

Brutal. Sorry to hear. I got “Masterpiece” from PK a few years back. Complete black hole for the two years that in was in manu but it did eventually ship. It didn’t seem too out of place, to be honest, for the time but you can see how a few stores when one way (lots of updates) and a few went the other way (deeper into their holes).
