I have never seen the GB sign lit before, this is a very awesome detail to capture, would you be able to have your kit do similar?! Thanks!!

Jay Pothier Thanks for sharing-- that's interesting, and yes I think we could incorporate it into the new kit design.  Thanks!

Very unique feature for sure! I hope you enjoyed your weekend with the Ecto-1 kit!

Jay Pothier Yes, great fun.  Now, working on light and sound design so we can get pre-orders up for the Ecto-1 kit.

Rob Klingberg  will you be creating the new GB Ecto -1 (10274) light and sound kit? 

Wayne Chan Yes, that is the kit referred to in the post above! Accurate lights and sound for the new expert build Afterlife Ecto-1 will be so awesome at that scale! Pre-orders soon then Firehouse kits again you guys rock! 

sorry is there any update on when the Firehouse light kit will be available for pre-order?

Chris Go Sorry, no update yet-- we'll be 100% focused on getting out Christmas orders until the end of the month, then will pick this up again in early January.

hi, is there any news about it?

thanks

Hi

is there any news about the release of the Rev 2 of this kit? thank you!

Rob Klingberg ok Rob, thank you! We hope that in 2022 it will be ready :)

Giovanni Bocchi Thank you very much for your continued understanding. 🙏

Rob Klingberg Do I still have a chance to get one? You guys ever thought of doing a kickstarter or something like that to get guaranteed funds to do a production run??? How about some of us helping you with kit assembly? Like in the 90’s when they used to do kits at home you put together for companies??? I remember soldering kits and sending back.

Chris Jolly Oh that's a great idea!  Love it.  As for the Kickstarter, it's less about the funds than the time.  We're a very small shop, only three people, and we have almost 175 finished products to keep in stock on a weekly basis.  The major blocker has been availability of the chips and other parts we use for our kits, but we're working on a new design for our main controller board that, when it's ready by March or April, will let us finally move forward on these new kits.  We're still planning to release the kit upgrade-- don't worry! :-)

Rob Klingberg So you could always “insure” the kits that are sent to people. I think when I was doing that in the early 90’s I had to “purchase” the kits they wanted assembled but got paid per kit I assembly when I mailed them back. Multiple ways you could do that so your risk is reduced but sure with the following you have you might have guys like me that would love to be able to help out and not concerned that much about getting paid and more about being able to be a part of the process, if that makes sense.

Chris Jolly Thanks, it makes total sense and the offer is much appreciated!

Hi, is there any news about this light kit set?

thanks

Giovanni Bocchi Hi, no news yet.  I think I'm going to create a "project status" page so people can check the status of individual kits-- this will save you needing to check in with us.  Hope to have that page up next week.

Rob Klingberg thanks, but it's about 2 years that this light kit is posponed..still no news after so long time?

Giovanni Bocchi yes, sorry.

Would love to see this light kit. Did u ever create a project status page so we can follow along with its progression?.... been watching this thread for over a year now.

Dino Tempesti Thank you for your continued support and patience.  I know there's huge demand for this kit, so I'm really trying to keep it top of mind for our first round of "next generation" kits based on the new controllers we've been working on for almost two years.  Really hoping to have more to share in the coming weeks.

Rob Klingberg thanx so much for the responce. Im sure the kit will be worth the wait, but the anticipation is killing me haha. Hope to hear more news soon. Happy building.

Happy new year. Any new news on this kit?
