So with international shipping I'm looking at probably almost a year wait for completely overpriced modifiers.
$70 for the ergodox, $60 for planck? fuck no.

tobsnAs I love SA arrows, the arrow kit will set me back $16.99/$13.99....for dang arrows!

tobsnThose prices will only happen if only 25 people get those kits. If they hit 100 orders or more each (which seems likely, given that the planck just dropped a month-ish ago and the ergodox dropped last week), those prices drop to $46 and $36, which seems pretty reasonable to me.
As for the wait, that is definitely a bummer, but it appears that SA carbon is at least jumping a few spots in the queue, so the wait is shorter than I was expecting (e.g. SA Cream Cheese and Green from zFrontier finished running last month and has an ETA of April 2018). These wait times are par for the course in SA keycaps though...I ordered SA 1965 in December 2016 and don't expect to get it until October.

tobsnI know part of the reason the kits are more expensive is that they have more keycaps in them. If you compare the SA dasher/dancer planck and ergodox kits, carbon has 14 more keys in the planck kit (to allow for sculpted or uniform planck layouts), and 12 more keys in the ergodox kit (to allow for more color choices). I wouldn't be surprised if SP prices have gone up a bit as well, but I don't think they could have gone up that much considering the half-life and warning sign kits are starting at $13. I would love the sets to be cheaper as well, but I don't see these as terribly overpriced. In the IC phase, the general sense t0mb3ry was giving was that he was adding more keys to various kits to provide more customization options, which was always going to raise the prices relative to other SA drops.
EDIT: I obviously agree with you that lower prices would be nicer, I am just trying to say these prices are about in line with my expectations given the expansions of the kits mentioned above.
