Project: New (colored) case for A1200

[amenophis]

HI IanP,

Well Black is Black, and Transparent is ... Tranparent.
Regarding the LUKHASH Transparent, obviously this is the same Transparent as... transparent. And the Black model will be.. well .. black.
Sorry for the jokes haha

These are Lukhash himself choices. The case differences lies with sticker badges, Serial number plates, and the bonuses.
Still, Lukhash is going to sign his master model for the serial plate for his case

Regarding the TITAN Edition, yes the case goes glossy.
We've made this SE for the french audience, as TITAN (Eric Cubizolle) is very well know in France. He's also the write of "La Bible Amiga" book.


@ALL,

- This morning we've added lower tier Rewards, as several people asked us how to get 1 mug only.

- Since yesterday we've made it to 2/3 the goal! Thanks to all of you!
We need everybodys support, so please don't stop sharing this initiative with your networks, and help the campaign as much as you can by spreading to all retro-websites you know

Hello Philippe, thanks for your efforts and for all your quick replies.
Now we have reached the previous limit and we still have a month to collect the missing bucks: the goal is still far, anyway.

According to me, one thing that prevents people from making a pledge is the hope to get the thing done by others and take advantage of an cheap second batch.

I think you should explain to the community what will be of the molds after the production of the first lot. I think many people are simply waiting for a second batch one day that the molds are done and a second production could be more cheap.

Maybe it would been better to think about a promise/accord to selling of the molds (as raw aluminium) to keep the goal lower (100K Euro?) as soon as the first batch would have been finished. I know it's easy to think now but I think that this fear could stop many people from making a pledge.

Selling/refurbishing the molds is not a viable option to save money. Costs are mainly from manufacturing them, not the material itself.

People have to understand that thinking:
"I'll wait to get cheaper cases after the first run" is not the right choice to make.
To get after this first run, we need to manufacture the cases using the molds.
So not reaching the goal = No new cases for nobody !
This is very basic logic that everybody can understand i guess.

But your point is right, and we'll make an announcement again regarding that.

We still have 28 days and all and every backers should spread the word, share the campaign and try to convince all their contacts who were involved with the Amiga past or present, should support the campaign.

Right now we have 477 backers, and we can't think that there isn't more A1200 owners and users out there that wouldn' love to get a new case!

For instance, 110+ backers from the first campaign are still missing.

We're doing everything we can to spread the word from our end, but if these 477 people do the same, it'll be way more faster

If Amigans want this to happen.. this is the time. Now!

With 2/3rd completed and four weeks to go, that does sound pretty good considering a big wave of supporters typically come in the last two weeks.  That's when I plan to pledge as I don't really have a need for a A1200 case, I do want to see it this kickstarter completed and rolling.

@ dammy :angel:

That's very cool of you to support even though you don't need a case !

Thanks for this outstanding support Dammy !
With open minded people like you are, we'll make it

Hi Guys,

The campaign is about to reach 70%, thanks to all of you!


It still needs a small push, and we need all of you that did not supported the campaign yet.

This campaign, by making new Amiga 1200 cases with all included  benefits, is the first time in 20+ years that new housings are  manufactured for the Amiga 1200.

Hopefully this will also help the Amiga community to stop decaying, and  maybe even by getting long lost Amiga users back to it and start the  user base to grow again (with IC Reloaded motherboards).

As you already probably know, we're currently working on making new  Keycaps and new Keyboards as well. And we have a couple more hardware  projects as well

So if you haven't contributed to the campaign yet on any reward and even if you don't need an Amiga 1200 case, you can always support it by getting the new Official Amiga Mugs !


As Amiga fans, your support is greatly appreciated.

Hello Philippe, can we have more details about Special Edition colours?

It seems to me that the bright orange of the Red Sector SE is different about the purple (?) of the Skid Row SE, isn't it?

What about the dark grey Phenomena SE? Is that the same colour of the upper part of the Scoopex SE case?

Can you provide some International codes about colours you are going to use in the Special Edition cases??

Many thanks!

[amenophis]

@candyman,

All colours are different of course. There is no special edition have the same color of another.

Also, each Special Edition color is "reserved", meaning that these colors are not going to be available for you to choose for a regular case color for instance.

Indeed, all Special Edition cases are based on #RGB color codes our partners gave us.
But it is difficult to tell them appart from the illustrations.

When we'll put the real cases side by side, it'll be way more obvious.

I'm not sure we have the liberty to post the cases color codes without the demogroups & partners aknowledged first for that..

But you can be sure, all Special Edition cases do have their own personality !


@ALL,

Please review the Latest Campaign Update!

Lots of informations in there, plus Vouchers & Coupons code all backers can redeem on http://www.thegamingwarehouse.com and  http://www.amigastore.eu !

Guys, the campaign need your support, it reached 73% already!


Cheers!

I understand but it would be very useful to have the possibility to compare the colours before pledging for a SE. If you know the exact colour we could choose without regrets.

For example I can't understand well if the Phenomena SE is more a dark grey or a very dark purple.

A1200 case kickstarter is down to it's final 10 days and needs about $23K.

Last two days are here, the goal has been met, and it's now a push to it's stretch goal.  Last chance to get one of those special cases is now.

[VingtTrois]

After 11 months of waiting, still not seen the slightest trace of the molds and therefore the A1200 cases.
