It's all good. Still working away. I've got tool pricing and prices per part, just need to get some more stuff sorted and figured out. I don't want to go ahead with a kickstarter until I have a little more to show than just this. Unfortunately, the fellow that was going to partner up with me to take on marketing and web-related everything was just offered a COO position at a rather profitable local startup, so I lost him to that :( I NEED someone like that on board relatively soon, so I'm hunting again for someone who will work as a partner with me (i.e. no money right now with the intent of sharing success instead of a flat rate or salary once there's money to be had).
That said, I've got a name/logo and will be filing for a trademark before too long . I have at least 6 other products and services so far besides the SNES mini shell that I plan on offering right out of the gate. The tooling for the shell isn't gonna be cheap, and I basically have to guess how many I'm gonna sell over the lifetime of the product in order to come up with pricing, and since there's no competing product, I can't compare it to current market sales. There are none LOL! In order to make this product a success, in terms of sales and desirability, I need to sell it for a really good price. With that in mind, I probably won't make much, if any, money selling just the SNES shells. If I can break even on the shells and make money on the other stuff, then hopefully I can move ahead with the next project, which will be the consolized MVS Neo Geo. From there, on to the Genesis, Neptune, SNEStation, etc.
Wait 'til you see what I'm working on right now. I think you guys will dig it ;)

Wig, your a tease!

You know me, if I actually had something to show, I would :)
Right now I only have the idea, about a dozen texts, a few emails, and a phone call or two. But, those texts/emails/calls are enough to get some product to my doorstep. Soon enough...
