Final recap:

Hi guys, as we have passed a full year since GB launched and are finally wrapping up, I just wanted to recap and say some words.

Firstly, I'm really sorry it's taken so long. It's been a full year and that's a really long time, even for this hobby. Things don't always go according to plan but ultimately it was because of mistakes made by me on top of covid delays and FedEx refusing to deliver the package to Krelbit.

Second, the colors didn't turn out as advertised. Basically the original colors I picked were way too dark and we decided to completely repick them for a R2 color match. This is when the Falter fiasco happened.

When picking R2 colors I did my best with help from Olivia and Krelbit to match the renders as closely as we could. Unfortunately it's not as purple as some people may have hoped for, and the contrast between the mods and alphas might be a tad bit off if I'm being super picky? I don't actually have a set of my own yet to verify that, but it seems like this set is really hard to photograph.

Falter happened due to, I guess a misunderstanding or miscommunication with GMK where they ended up using the wrong color to create all the alphas, and thus they all had to be remade using the intended color. Big thanks to GMK for working with us on that. I would have been devastated if the wrong alphas were all we had. To clarify, the lighter alphas are the correct ones.

None of these delays would have happened if I didn't make the amateur mistake of choosing colors that would turn out too dark as plastic.

I put in a lot of work to make this set happen so all of these events have been really stressful. All the extra details like the box and slap (thanks to Switchmod for these) was our way of making it extra special and I hope you enjoy that. I'm pretty bummed out things didn't match my original vision, but I think it turned out great in its own way.

To everyone who's helped make it happen anyway, I can't thank you enough for all your support over the past year. I'm hearing lots of nice things about the set so I'm glad people are still enjoying it regardless of it not being my idea of "perfect". And if you don't like it, you have my full blessing to flip it for however much you want to on mechmarket, and also my sincerist apologies for it not living up to your expectations. I'd like to think it wasn't the worst "first gb" attempt ever.

Hope everyone gets their set soon. Thank you weebs and non-weebs!
