This looks fantastic! Congrats!

I just wish there was a 40% kit, but I can make it work without one.

if the kobe doesn’t hit the 150 MOQ is it still going to be made?

@Goguma

if the kobe doesn’t hit the 150 MOQ is it still going to be made?

Vendors will get extras to ensure that it’s gonna be produced!

[ScullyD]

Are the deskpads coming for this set at some point?

[mgsickler]

Yes, but it will be after the GB most likely.

Also, as mentioned before, there won’t be any price cut, so I decided to add some extra novelties into the base kit (since the base kit production cost is now lowered).
GMK has to confirm me the amount but apparently, I could add 3 to 5 novelties. I immediatly thought about the Torii I made for the Nano Bentō but I also have some unused legends.

I’ll let you know

[Goguma]

Thank you biip! Looking forward to which ones you’ll be picking!

You guys are crazy! I’m so pleased
It’s absolutely unbelievable, I never thought that this set would be so successful!

Note that the GB is still running

Thank you all <3

[biip]

You guys went nuts! The GB was a blast
Thanks for the amazing support!

I’ll post the final numbers soon.
Here are the novelties that I would like to add in the base kit (R1 only):

Any thoughts?

[jshufelt]

Great additions. Congrats on the successful GB!

[Kurisu]

I love it. adds some flair to the top of the set with good symmetry. I use 65% so this will be replacing my 5-8 on my numrow
