Indiegogo for new A500 cases

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Well looks like this has started:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/new-compatible-case-for-amiga-500-plus#/

$155,000 goal, 2% there as of today.  Wonder why it's not a Kickstarter this time around?  Wonder if they'll be produced any faster than the decades-long wait it took for the A1200 cases? :lol:

do people NEED new A500 cases?!

Stand-alone Vampire boards, replacing cracked ones or those that have been hacked and drilled over the years, etc.

I did not bother to back the 1200cases kickstarter since i thought those cases would be available for sale .

Time has passed and i start to wonder if that was a joke as well .
Why would i back this if they have not yet delivered a 100% on the 1200 cases . Am i missing something , oh and yeah i do regret not backing that 1200 campain.

I did back the A1200 cases. Of course over two years later, when they actually arrived, I found I didn't have time for them so sold them on to other members of the community. And now that I'd like one again, I find they are impossible to come by. You'd think now that they have the molds producing more for sale at regular retailers (AmigaKit, Amigastore.eu, etc.) would be simple and "common sense". :confused:

Oh well, time is a fickle thing. :lol:

TL;DR. The replacement floppy eject buttons never did arrive.

So ok why deleted then?

You've never seen a video made with deleted scenes at the end?  It's a pretty common thing.  Alternate endings, or if someone flubbed a line, or read the script out of order, etc.  Sometimes people stick them in there just to be kitschy.  Don't worry, it's not some big conspiracy. :lol:
