GMK botanical and botanical 2. Yeah I will be missing and regretting, I have basically 2 boards, 2 nice sets and 3 coming in. I can’t justify buying and waiting for another $200+ set.

But I will undoubtedly regret not picking it up.

Hey. I’m in a similar spot too. There will likely be another run one day, or something else that’ll catch our eyes. I’ve begun to lose the FOMO feel lately

yeah these days I realized my fomo for boards aren’t that strong anymore - probably because there are just so many coming out in a year that if I missed one there are more (plus I have quite a “few” coming in this or next year :stuck_out_tongue: )

I can see a sudden crash coming when enough of us say “enough” and a bunch of MOQs are not met and things go back to pre 2019 amounts but higher quality due to increase in standards

Maybe, but probably not any time soon. The number of people in the hobby has grown a staggering amount, and doesn’t seem to be slowing at all.

JTK Tripleshot Royal Alpha. What was I thinking skipping out on that?

I remember struggling over it.

It would look great on polycarb. But on the other hand it probably won’t be ready until 2023.

Oh boy, I expect there not to be many extras and for them to sell out in minutes. I forgot about these and now I want them again!

That’s the case for me, i stop participating in any GB until things are going back to normal !

This & the triple shot Griseann sets are big misses for me too! I was worried about delivery time & the quality of the end product. Still haven’t seen many JTK tripleshot sets in the wild but the quality seems decent from what I have seen. Delivery time these days… :grimacing:

It’s actually my understanding that many extras were ordered.

JTK new Tripleshot sets requiring new stuff apparently have very high MOQs. I think that this set had to reach 3000 to go ahead.

Which means that several vendors and/or flippers bought a large number of sets from that GB at the very end. So there should be a number in stock when it arrives - at extras prices or worse.

@Rob27shred I wasn’t too worried about quality, since JTK has pulled off tripleshot before [although this is an ambitious GB]. I was more worried about the overall quality since they haven’t matched GMK yet.

Delivery time is an issue, but I also balked at paying that much for JTK. I guess it was about leaving that much money up in the air for who-knows how long.

  • Number one for me is probably GMK Phantom; such a tasty looking set

  • After that, I regret skipping a couple kits from SA 1965, thinking I’d only ever use a TKL

Beyond that, I kinda lucked out in terms of getting in on the group buy for the keeb I actually wanted, the GRID 650.

I sold Rudy and then instantly regretted doing so

not missing but–i had a chance at an Astrophysical Purple Mk II Norbaforce and traded it back in. should’ve just held onto it and found a VHS easily later down the road.

yeah I wished I have gotten the grisean but luckily there is the gmk wasabi which kinda look similar in terms of black with white/green legends which I copped.

I would say MT3 Serika. If I had known how much I enjoy typing on MT3 sooner…
