Forgot to bring the update to this thread, sorry about that guys!
Here's some news about the project:
Colors
We are currently sampling keycaps in the official colors of the keyset, I expect to see the initial results in the near future. That's very important because some of the commissions and collaborations I've got lined up can't progress without the official colors figured out. In case there's anyone curious about the color codes, they don't actually exist. Pantones were initially used as a general reference but now we are going to match the renders, so a precise code does not exist. The colors are what you're seeing on my renders and they have some accuracy. 2u Shift
As requested by many users, there will be a 2u wide Shift keycap present on the Base Kit in order to cover layouts such as the XD60. Novelties
The current selection of Novelties seem to be injection friendly and I don't expect to have issues with any of the particular designs. I've got a list going on with simpler designs/references to act as replacements in case we encounter difficulties and I'll be sharing those with you if needed. As a side note, some of the legends borrowed from Carbon might be replaced, more notably the High Voltage symbol which I'll swap for the Akira pill and the Skull, to be replaced by a Robocop reference of some sort. Japanese Legends, D/C Kit and ErgoPlanck
Regarding the Japanese kit, you don't have to worry about pricing as I've got it sorted out. Speaking about the designs presented, I closed the poll once it reached about 2k votes and we all know the results. I released a new poll featuring the two winners and now we must decide which one will make into the actual keyset. Please go ahead and drop a vote, even if you voted before, in this link right here ( https://mitormk.com/2017/06/13/mitos-updates-4/ ). Some people brute forced the last poll in favor of the monolegends, so I added an extra layer of security to the new poll - if you find a breach in the layer I ask you guys to be honest and vote just one time. There will be a Dvorak/Colemak kit added to actual the group buy. The ErgoPlanck kit will remain blank, but I'm going to offer some extra keycaps on it for extra color options. For now that's basically it, I'm working on super cool stuff behind the curtains to ensure this will be a remarkable project to all of you. Due to the magnitude of the project and all parts involved, I can't provide you with a solid launch date just yet. But expect it to happen between the conclusion of Nautilus and November, 2017. I wish you all a wonderful week and I'll bring more updates soon - including the visual stuff that I mentioned throughout this update (i.e. Akira, Robocop, etc.)

MiToWell at least I will have some time to save up...! Can not wait for updates on this. Thanks for bringing this amazing set to the community @MiTo !!
MiToThank you! The wait will be painful. Ughh. But in response to your main post for the Ergo kit, yes please add a DCS or more curve option to ge a more ergo feel.

MiToWhichever wins based on the Mono vs Gaijin, I'll probably end up buying it. but I think the Mono just look cleaner compared to the cluttered Gaijin.

MiToI really wish ErgoPlanck included labeled keys. I understand reasons on both sides for this but I personally like to know which modifiers are which, especially on a Planck where the modifiers don't always match their standard locations anyway, but I guess that's another reason to leave them blank. Seeing the renders of Nautilus with the non-blank Planck modifiers just looks really good and I was looking forward to seeing more GMK sets with labeled Planck keys.
