The MTNU profile is the one I prefer and therefore would like to see more of. Though there are sets dripping out, it is nowhere comparable to the flood of CYL profile sets being pumped out. So instead of just complaining about it I have been mulling about whether to design some options myself and run ICs and hopefully GBs for them. And for that I want to juggle ideas and get this community's thoughts and suggestions.

First, let's look at what we have currently available, particularly what could be considered "fundamental" areas. As I see it the "classic grey-ish" segment is satisfied with the Classic Beige, MODO Light, Granite and Foundation sets. As for black, we have the WoB set, which covers that substantial ground. The 800 in particular and the Mictlán sets sort of provides some satisfaction for the dark brown/retroish need. Venturing away from the foundational colours into more particular ones Skyritter fills the green niche and Rascals provides a burgundy colour and Space Cadette provides a grey-and-blue colourway.

As for coming sets, Welles is being produced providing a moody retro cream/maroon/blue set, a Honeywell colourway (white/red/black) is likely to be GB:d and it seems like there will be a Striker set coming providing a bright blue colourway.

Then there are quite a few sets that are basically unavailable, early MTNU runs that can only and seldom be found in the second hand market. Reruns of these might be a possibility, but that relies on GMK or the original creators.

So this leads to the main question: what colourways are most desired or missing? In my opinion, MTNU needs some more solid foundational sets to create a solid base to build the user base before pushing "exotic" or "niche" colourways. I feel that pushing fringier sets atm will risk weak sales and turn vendors away from the profile.

• Obviously missing is a BoW set. This is sorely and screamingly lacking from the lineup.
• I personally would love an "infernal" set with variants of reds-on-black and black-on-reds, perhaps with a "lava" extras set.
• A dark blue set, perhaps dark ultramarine or Prussian blue "midnight" colourway seems very appealing to me, and would easily provide a few accent options (moon, dusk, perhaps a black alert row).
• Otomu's CYL low-contrast pastel colourways are beautiful and some similar ones could be solid options.
• A Nord set seems like a solid option.
• Some more vibrant sets, like a British Racing Green or Nuklear/Targa green.
• I also feel that the semi-retro feel to MTNU Evangelion colourways could be a good match.

As for sales drivers, we have seen that accent sets are extremely popular; f.i. the Mictlán accents sold out long before the base sets.

TLDR; what MTNU colourways/sets would you like to see?
