Dislike. I was really excited for this kit but I'm out unless the latin alphas are brought back. Very disappointing

puddle_or_potholeFrom Update #3:
Let’s talk about the base kit changes and removing the Hiragana kit. First of all, I’m perfectly aware of how polarizing this changes are. For some people, this is a deal breaker, and for some others a the set is now a must have. I’ve been always interested in sublegends and I like them a lot as they make sets very appealing, and as some of you already know, Serika’s name is a reference to a manga (Space Brothers). So there has always been a thematic pretext to have those Hiragana legends added to the set since the very first moment I publicaly released the set. In fact, some of my early sketches for this set back in 2016 when the set was unnamed, had either Hiragana or Hangul sublegends. However, back in 2016 having those sublegends on a GMK set wasn’t possible, and that’s why I initially sticked to the more “standard” look.Soon after update #2 was released, which added Hiragana and Micons, I started to become more and more uncomfortable with the set and its kits. For every single set, and specially for the GMK ones, the base kit is the core of the set, and everyone should get it. All base kits should be as affordable as possible, which can be achieved by having the right amount of keycaps and also reaching higher order quantities. By adding those two kits I was achieving the exact opposite of what I wanted, splitting the orders between 2 options in detriment of the core kit.
There are no plans of adding latin only alphas to the set because then we would go back to the previous situation, which I'm really not comfortable with.
