Which Group Buy do you regret missing out on?

Still kicking myself over JTK Tripleshot Cyrillic and Tripleshot Royal Alpha.

Well, you’re in luck, Rudy R2 was just announced

A lot of Rudy fans will be happy in 2023 when R2 is delivered.

How ambitious :joy:

JTK Night Sakura

KAT Monochrome. High quality PBT in classic WoB and BoW in a great profile with kits to fit just about every keyboard.

The GB ran when I was just too new to the hobby and was horrified by the price of anything other than bargain basement keycap sets. Hoping to pick this up in extras soon…

My instinct at the beginning was just to dive in with the best stuff, but ‘rationality’ prevailed and I wasted some money with entry-level stuff.

Missed out on the last Zealio V1 R11, JER-A06, and several excellent GMK group buys this way, as well as ePBT Spectrum!

GMK Perestroika

I have to issue a correction here. It was ePBT Slate that I missed out on. I saw it when I started looking at ePBT, but there was too much FUD about ePBT at the time.

It would be a while before ePBT returned to that quality standard. I was able to pick up ePBT Spectrum spacebars in GB, and they are very straight and with the promised colours.

On similar note, I’ve joined the hobby just short after GMK Yugo 45 was over.

Ye, I would love to have them both and make some cool combinations.

Saturn-60

That bent sheet metal aesthetic makes me think of that idealized 50’s-70’s vision of the future and all the scientific optimism and development that came with the space program.

Also, MT3 looks soo good on it. And the handle!

For similar reasons I am pissed I missed out on the Modern Dasher D60.

2018 Group buy price: $240
2020 Mechmarket: $300
2021 Mechmarket: $600

Not only have prices skyrocketed, only about one a year surfaces on /mm.

This is was one of only two GBs I went in for last year. I love my Saturn so much. I heard rumours of extras but they may have gone now.

Might want to take a look at the Royal Alpha vendors now. They are saying that it is coming out Q1, and some are taking pre-orders.

I’m not getting the Space65, and I know I’ll regret it in the future when it will no longer run, that thing is iconic, but it’s too expensive especially with shipping and customs, maybe one day.

DSA Deep Space definitely

I was able to get my hands on my number 2 favorite set of all time (Dracula) but I don’t think I’ll ever get DSA Deep Space

2022 seems to be the year of reruns, so maybe we’ll see it again!

Oh Dolores, say it ain’t so. They didn’t hit their MOQ. What a shame. I always forget that can happen, but am still stoked they’re offering a commission build option for our deep-pocketed peers.

The two-tone cerakote looked absolutely on point and the burnt bronze has this old-timey leather wrist watch vibe. Classy. I’ll have to try and source the color on my own for something a bit more affordable.
