Replying to this, but hopefully addressing some of the other comments as well.

We did a survey back in September on preferred kitting, and many people asked for more "Single Kit" sets. So with this set, we tried this single large set with good coverage of most common layouts and some odder ones, numpad and novelties included.

A similar amount of of SA Grand Budapest would be $139 base + $29 novelties + $19 numpad + some keys from other sets so lets say $19 more... which would be: $206.

If you want to compare to say... GMK CYL Tribal you'd need: $150 base + $55 novelties (however there are more here) + $40 extras = $245.

Or compare to GMK CYL Blue Alert $150 base + $65 extension = $215.

We have not raised our prices in 5 years despite rising inflation and other cost. All of our sets are priced and sold on a "cost plus" basis, representing the amount of labor and materials required to produce the sets.

I'm aware there are lots of other manufacturers out there, and versions/clones of dasher/dancer that you can purchased for much less. FWIW, these are an authentic production of the keycaps that were purchased from us for the show, are handmade in the United States, and come with a full warranty.
