Dreamscape is fucked. It was my first set when I boycotted GMK because of lead times. 😂 it backfired.

Yeah some vendors have had some recent in-stock GMK sets for $89~$99 on sale. That’s an awesome price because that’s how much the lower priced GB sets from other manu’s cost at my local vendor.

Yeah, those are cool prices unfortunately shipping to EU is absurd and I would gladly buy the Grand Prix base kit. So, great for US folks but nothing like that in EU as far as I'm aware, haven't seen any GMK sets for 99 Euro.

Hi looks like some others already replied.

But yes one of the vendors was Novelkeys who had a flash sale a month ago.

They had many in-stock GMK sets for $99, some of these sets were Hammerhead Dark/Light, Bento, Serika, Grand Prix and that's only what commenters mentioned. Here is a link to the Flash sale post https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/w5gtgj/novelkeys_flash_sale/

I think for Black Friday Novelkeys came back with $89 sale for Serika and maybe some other sets I didn't check. That's over now but I think they are still running a $99 GMK sale and Cannonkeys also either was or still is doing something similar.

Yeah like I said, all US only.

Yeah I am outside the US myself so shipping is painful, but depending on the sale I think you can still save a decent amount compared to local vendor prices sometimes.

I recently purchased 4 in-stock Dye-sub PBT sets from the BOGO sale. Even when including shipping I ended up saving 30% over local prices.

The BOGO sale also discounts the lowest priced set, so the savings were more like 40% for those in the US not the 50% on listed prices you would expect so I thought it was worth it in the end.

What's up with dreamscape? I bought into it and have seen delays, but other than that nothing else.

Color matching STILL hasn’t been completed. Took like 6 months for the latest round of samples to come in and they still weren’t good apparently. Not that the designer really even told the community their thoughts on the latest round.

get on the vala discord server if that was your vendor. also, if you bought a luxe cable, get a refund or chargeback if he doesn't respond. The guy stopped making cables and doesn't plan to fulfill them. KBD dreamscape cables have been or will be fulfilled

dude has not been in the loop. When I join a gb I make sure I'm in that discord server before I hit buy and ask around about whatever questions I have. You can't instantly trust any gb since purchase protection is non existent in all of them no matter what you pay through.
