Thanks for patiently waiting! The link is here to get in on the ordering. I'll wait a bit before publicizing to anyone else, appreciate everyone following along with this and checking back in. Price is set to an early adopter level and will go up after the first 30 are gone. I think the site will let you keep ordering even in future batches (it will not say "in stock" anymore) but you can still get in on the price if you're quick enough before I post this around in a day or so.

I have materials here to make a pinstadium mockup so I'll see what kind of space is needed. Might be able to mod the roof, which is fairly easy compared to the rest of it) to give space for the lighting.

I mean, that would be the scale in the movie, right?

In some dimensions no larger (can't be much closer to the house than the original) and in other directions (front to back) quite a bit (maybe double).

Nice. Thanks for that. I'll see if we can put a channel/slot/trough through the roof. That seems like the only possibility.

Uploading a video now. Are you guys using the magnetic strip ones or the plastic vertical mount ones? Those sit different locations or approximately the same?

Did I understand the need properly? Does this video help?

Not yet. That, throne room and topper are all coming down the pipeline. We're working on some finishing touches for the sign, that one is say v0.8 or so. A few more revisions and we should be ready. Stay tuned!

Yeah, if it is in new condition you can return anything. If one of the early adopters is here I'd hope they would be able to test first. If someone ordered early and has pinstadium let me know and I'll get one to you to test.

For those asking about size comparison. Yes, it has size. All of it.

Thanks, sorry haven't watched the orders. Wasn't remembering if you were asking or if ordered. I'll get yours to you ASAP so we can know. TY

Looking at your pics in the WoZ club thread I don't think I placed my angle low enough for your kind of pinstadiums. I don't know where the magnet people install them (if they put them as high up as possible) but your LED L-channel is about 5-8mm lower than I had mine in the video, I think. Would you be able to take a pic both vertically (looking straight down at the huts/pinstadiums) and then from the side (horizontally so I can see just what vertical elevation the LED channel is at)?

Still possible to make something custom for both versions.

Thanks folks! Production is going full steam and I'm looking into the pinstadium clearances.

Programming is done. Here are the options:

Button 1 - Color, 5 choices which change the depth/saturation of the kisses and hue of the windows.
Button 2 - Brightness, 10 levels which affect windows and kisses as well as "off"
Button 3 - Effect, 9 different options which give a combination between kisses on/off, windows on/off and either/both flickering randomly or synced (so either each kiss flickers on it's own or they are sycned in their flickering). For example, setting 1 is kisses flickering randomly and windows off. Setting 4 is kisses and windows flickering randomly. It's basically every combination of on/off, random/synced/steady on.
Button 4 - Speed, 5 levels of randomness/effect frequency. From a slow, every second or so flicker to something that happens 4-5x a second.

We will be planting flowers and installing the roofs this week. Hope to ship the first batch by the end of the week.

Correct. There will be an add-on module which will allow interactivity with the ball locks and balls running through the house. This will be an add-on to this version and newer versions, meaning it will be the same amount of work and cost. We just don't have your PCBs back from the factory and tested. Once those arrive and we can validate and program them then we will have the option for complete integration.

Same with our Throne Room, Topper and Ramp Sign.

Hi Etien!

A few thoughts. There are RGB color changing lights that could be used for random color rotation for the drop target. That being said we are in-fact working on solutions for this. The control board which would provide interactivity to the Munchkinland hut will also work for the Throne Room and Ramp Sign (as well as mods on other JJP games) to provide more interaction with the game. Lighting is one of those integrations. Being able to read an existing light color should be able to be accomplished and mimicking that on output should also be doable.

With the Munchkinland huts there isn't any location that really suffers from this because the top "kisses" are all painted a color and the windows have a "glow" to them (very unsaturated light of yellow/amber/greenish selections) to mimic a house interior. But I do agree with the drop target, we may something coming out for that later this year, as well.

We do have your Crystal Ball mod sitting here waiting to be shipped. You'll be getting the first throne room

House construction continues over the weekend.

Assembly is happening. First batch expected to be shipping out in the next day or so. I think we have close to 30-35 hours in to each hut when it is all said and done. So many tiny details. 5 coats of paint, two coats of clear. Hand painted windows, planted plants, grass. 5 individual magnets epoxied. 7 lights hand soldered and glued. It's a chore but they look great!

2nd batch is sold out, we're looking at 8-12 weeks now for new orders.

We're going to delay shipping just a bit. As we were doing final testing of the first batch I didn't like how the front wall fit around the cable that comes out of the ball lock. We made a change to the front wall and are reproducing them now. We'll start shipping in the next few days. Thanks for your patience while we make sure these are the best.

Going in boxes, delivered by twister to your doorstep.

Well, you would know if you got a tracking number last week that you were in the first batch, but it seems like our store is having an issue sending tracking emails right now I'm looking in to it now. If you message me your order number I can check and let you know. We should have the 2nd batch out in the next 2 weeks. When you ordered on our site if you saw 2-3 weeks as the timeline then you were in the 1st or 2nd. If you saw 4-6 weeks then you were in the 3rd and anyone after that will see 8-12 weeks as we get caught up. I think we'll have all of the orders out by the 2nd week of March no matter when you ordered. We've managed to make a bunch of other parts while finishing the first batch and have been able to streamline a lot of small, tedious parts.

Working on the install video and I'll post that shortly.

Here is the install video. For those who watch it preemptively please let me know if anything isn't clear. Still processing the HD versions but should be done soon.

Looks great! Thanks for the feedback in email as well, I will incorporate that with the install video.

Looks like we got enough doubled up on that everyone in 2nd and 3rd batches will be taken care of next week. Then we're taking a break for a while so we can focus on ramp signs and throne rooms. You can still order on the site, but we won't be producing for a few months since they take so much time, room in our shop and focus.

Thanks to some early owners of this mod we have some feedback on the install. Suggestion is to remove the pins from the connector to fit through the area needed. Personally I fished the connector through being careful of the area but there is a switch there and a diode which can get in the way. If you remove the wires from the 3 pin JST connector it would be much easier to get it through. Here is a video on removing those pins.
