DavidWSLocksport is indeed a growing hobby and honestly, a handy skill to have. But there are a number of competitions for this hobby. Think of it as rubik's cube with locks.
DavidWSLock picks aren't really that big of a deal anymore, now that powerful cordless drills exist. (The same is true of non-destructive safe cracking). I'm sure the CIA uses those techniques, though. (But I would NEVER own such a thing as lockpicks, due to the obvious liability problem!!!!!!)
You guys seem to keep dropping larger variants of these soon after the smaller ones. Before I join, I don't suppose the the 69 (MPXS-62) or 74 Piece set (C6010) are coming up soon? If so I think I'll wait for those...
EDIT: thanks Massdrop. They're here: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/southord-full-line-lockpick-sets
HaulienAgreed. I bought the small set a while back and have actually put it to good use in the meantime opening some locks that people have misplaced keys for. They've proven to be worth the money so I was looking to upgrade, but I might as well hold out for the whole shebang.
HaulienHey guys, I'm really glad to see that there is demand for the complete sets. As you were able to figure out, we've been working our way up there the last couple weeks. I will get in contact with our vendor and figure out if we can get a drop going for the MPXS-62 or the C6010, or maybe even both.
Keep an eye out in the next week or so and I'll see what I can do.

hmm, guess hobbyists don't count

By purchasing the drop, you, the BUYER, certify that you can legally obtain and use the set within your local laws. Massdrop places all legal responsibility on the BUYER. If you can, as a hobbyist, legally procure lockpicks as per your local laws, you may purchase the set.
I do locksport for fun, I purchase several locks and practice unlocking them. It's useful when I/my friends/my SO have lost their keys. Instead of breaking the lock, I simply open them now. I can count on my fingers the amount of time it has been necessary, but it has been extremely satisfying when it has happened. As an advice to other people who want to get into lockpicking, there's absolutely no need for 33/38 pieces. Get a couple rakes, a snake, a small hook and a couple tension tools. That's all you're going to need unless you're planning on opening very special locks.
I don't understand why you would NEED 50 picks, anyone?
I use one triangle and one rake, with an occasional need for a smaller triangle, and an, uhhh, curved picker? I'm spacing on the proper name for it. Then obviously a few are for different types of locks, sure, but does anybody out there actually fwe they benefit from having more than, say, 10? I'd like to hear your stories. Obviously I should be posting this in the lp101 forums, but I'm not there now and this is easier :)
SlowCousinPeteHooks(or curved picks) are used on American locks(not the company the country) most of these are for specific types of locks, these are more than most people need however, but it may vary based on the person.
Is it just the C3010 that's designed for non-U.S. locks, or both sets? Sorry if this has already been asked but I don't have time to go through and read all 4 pages.
Lockpicking is also a hacker culture thing, as it promotes the same mindset that programmers and penetration testers utilize to understand and defeat obstructions and improve systems.
