IndieGO have rights for walker case

[Lurch]

"Well, i got the rights to use the walker design. Say hello to the walker mini powered by aeros , amicloud and indieGO! AppStore : ) 2 month to go. We will produce only 400 cases at max. But I plan to offer a configurator where you can chose between different stacks (floppy, sound card/midi stack, and more)."

No details on HOW these are made?  3D printers aren't expensive, and all I have seen thus far are modelling mock ups and promises of AROS this and that, some goofy $5 for all you can eat cloud storage project, some "quantum computer Pi thing", various proprietary store solutions and various obscure Bitcoin clones.  Hey, if you're asking for people to open their wallets, we got the right to ask such questions about your past KS projects and how many projects you have going.  Kickstarter, despite contrary beliefs, isn't a place to make mock ups of dream projects with a 3D modeller and promo videos if said projects never end up going anywhere.

Can someone point me in the direction of where I can see a live version or the Walker repro case that isn't just a mock up and a flog for some other silly project that isn't likely to happen?

May I ask how many current Kickstarter campaigns this person has, and how many, if any, have ever met end stage?

Looks like they've somehow cobbled a screen into the top of it.  What the...?  Oh well, if the finished item doesn't turn out totally hideous, the Amiga market is suddenly becoming awash with interesting things to spend one's money on.

Why would you need rights to produce a case ?

Really ?  Do they even exist anymore ?  A quick google shows them listed as "defunct" - http://www.zoominfo.com/c/Merlancia-Industries-Inc/34276702

I wonder what copyright they have on the design, guess no-one has the registration documents anymore.

It's a Walker case.  It, by definition, is totally hideous.

This... just this! It's freaking hideous, probably one of the ugliest cases ever made.

luckily it has never become a real product, damaging amga image even further and ending up as a total failure anyway.

What do you mean ... " ONE of..." :-)

It would have to improve a thousand percent to just only be hideous
further proof they must of all been on drugs while designing this.

Great link, thanks!

You know, the Walker's grown on me over the years.  I think it would look pretty neat sitting on my desk.  I like the gloss-black of the one in that link.  Totally impractical still, and probably more of a b**ch to work on than even an A3000 case, but still.  It'd be a conversation piece.  ;-)
