Hi guys, just in case you haven't noticed it, Signature Plastics produced SA Retro last year and now they have it on really nice discount!
Almost half price, so if you don't have that set in your collection, it is time to grab one! :)

The £41 set you link is just the modifiers, though, and ANSI only at that.

A full SA Retro right now costs 41 for mods + 41 for alphas another 37 for ISO, 15 for the numpad and whatever the shipping / customs are; which can be quite a nightmare. One of my very worst customs experiences was the one time I ever ordered directly from them. Never again! As the single customer review there suggests: "have not received." 1 star. :(

They are pretty nice caps though, if you can get them.

I found out that ordering keycaps on aliexpress works very well for good prices, No custom hassle when delivered to EU. But you may not be able to get the fancy stuff. No fancy Signature Plastics caps.

Indeed! I've learned to source some pretty nice stuff from China. I mean, if UK Customs really wants to subsidise Chinese manufacturers by giving them a free pass, that's their choice…
