  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hi there,
I just had the chance to test out a true state of the art prototype of an arcade replica which has been officially launched few days ago on kickstarter,
It’s legit as it comes (the team leader is a French fella btw), so far I think this is the most accurate and complete New Astro City 1:3 replica I’ve ever seen in the whole market,
a must have in my humble geek opinion!

The Kickstarter Campaign has also a commercial video displaying the unit, cool stuff... maybe some of you might be interested! ; )

This team and the project itself deserve support and a round of applause for their vision!

I like it! Your campaign has three big problems however;
  • You don't clearly define your reward terms (eg. main unit)
  • People don't understand how expensive it is to do short runs like this
  • There aren't any low and mid tier rewards

There were successful campaigns like this just a few years ago, but that was when everyone was flush with Covid cash. I'm hoping to do a crowdfunding campaign too with my Mini-Cute-like countercades but most of my stuff will be aimed at DIYers. I wish you good luck!
