    There is an update in the official webpage: News - M-DECK

    It seems the project is going to be financed via a Kickstarter campaign which will be launched this June, so get ready for it. According to the company it will be below $600, a reasonable for the size of that monster if you ask me. There is also a teaser trailer full of LED glory!

    I'd be much happier if they offered a nice proper without the gimmicks for like... $200 and then higher tier options to get one with the gimmicks. If this is $400+ I just can't justify it, personally.

    Kickstarter is a risky option. I have supported three different projects where the creator scammed everyone and took the money and ran. Those cost me $75, $150 and $25 respectively.

    I kickstarted Hyper Light Drifter... late and via the HumbleBundle. HLD was one of the last titles I played before my laptop croaked, and I’m looking forward to that coming to Switch sometime this summer, hopefully.

    I also bought Stonemaeir Games’ Scythe, but that was the regular retail release.

    Still, I’d be worried about sinking nearly a grand into a crowdfunding project for a replica rifle.

    And, for an example, I wouldn’t spend $500 on a two pack of prop replicas of Grimlock’s Sword and Rifle, or Sword and Shield for FoC Grimsy.

    But, I also don’t cosplay, nor do I collect replica armaments.

    Though, some Nerf or boffering gear might be tempting.
