nice work. Being able to supply within Canada is huge. I know its been costly for a number of people in Canada that I have supplied pincabs for.
For me the Titan out of those is my favorite. Working on a similar designed bartop based off the fullsize arcades I am producing for an Ohio based customer. Love the shape.

I figured the purpose of flat packs was small and fairly light, that complete kits looks heavy and huge... You may have it figured out, but just wondering how you would offer a competitive price?

That's a good question. I've seen similar pinball kits being offered for $450 and up, and that doesn't include shipping. I can produce my kit for a lot less (more importantly, I could sell it for a lot less) and still have a fair profit.
I had worked for Canada's largest courier for over thirteen years, so I can tell you that without committing to shipping large volumes - near impossible for this business model - everybody will be in the same boat. That means, everybody will have similar shipping costs to get the package from point A to point B.
Are pinball kits going to be more expensive? Yes, undoubtedly. My aim is to produce them - all of my kits, for that matter - at a competitive price that is still profitable, to help those who can't (or don't want to) create their own from scratch. They'll determine on their own whether or not the shipping cost is worth it.

Mamezilla:
Very interesting subject. Any updates on this project ? Being from Canada myself, I'd be interested in a bartop that would not require paying custom duties and charges because it shipped from the States
Another interest I'd have would be on a virtual pinball cabinet (that you seem to have plans for), however I'd be more interested on a 2/3 size cabinet using a 32" for playfield (like the DigiPin made by Swaffar, which is in the "Projects announcements" section of this forum), because there wouldn't be enough room in my basement for a bigger one. I could always try to make one by myself, but my woodworking skills are mediocre, I haven't have either the place or the tools needed for big wood cutting, and I'm currently recuperating from surgery which doesn't allow me to lift more than 10 pounds. So I'm watching this topic with great interest.
Thanks.
