    We are really pleased to announce the worlds, smallest, we think, pinball company. MiniPins are an officially licensed, WiFi based, desktop clock. We use a small DMD along with individually placed, correct colour LED's to recreate the look and feel of your favourite pinball machines. On your desktop.

    We have launched with AFM, TOTAN and MM - but have included a little poll. What would you like to see next? Tell us why below. Do we have more in development, of course. Are we just working on BW games. No. What else would you like to see?

    We will be shipping these in 4 - 6 weeks, believe it or not, the delay is the custom packaging. Cardboard and the tooling has a really long lead time, with people citing COVID. Darn it.

    These look really cool. Could use something in a photo or video to show scale.
    Dimensions 19 × 15 × 8 cm are more easily visualized if pictured next to something familiar. Maybe a pinball?

    pretty cool will need to keep that in mind for presents.

    Honestly mate, you've been a lifesaver, one moment I have the dims of course from the engineering drawings.

    I vote for ToM, its a classic with great gameplay and a superb art package, it simply looks awesome.

    All I think we had an issue with postage costs to the USA which is now resolved. Your order should now come up with a flat shipping rate of £12! Any issues, please do let me know.

    The custom packaging is 2 weeks ish away now, so all pre orders will be shipping then. We still have food stocks of AFM and TOTAN. I will update MM in once batch one sells out to reflect this, but boards are don’t take long to arrive so it may not be an issue.

    Oh and the official holograms arrived too, which is nice.

    All pre orders remaining will be shipped soon as we have ramped up production. We are working on a US distro as well as some EU ones shortly too.
