I know, there is no exactly Date for the Produktion yet, 2 - 3 Weeks after the last thuesday when EvilDragon made this post may be end of next week
But how will the Gamescom delay the Produktion? Is Dragonbox Shop going to be there, or not because its only Digital this year ??
I know from our Conventios whe had at our Beeceeper Busines, that the preparing of such a Booth can eat lots of work hours, so not going to the Convention means less work, but also less orders..

We have two live slots at the Gamescom digital where we'll show some upcoming new games for Retro consoles as well as general new hardware for retro stuff.

These two slots will not affect the production at all :)

First 300 Cases are being coated right now (black color), the mass produced heatpipes should be finished August 8th, I'm waiting for the final box design from Traylorpark and am working on the manual right now.

Then all the hardware will be here, so hopefully, daveshah will have squished most bugs then as well... as it would mean we'd be ready for shipping.
 
Are there still spaces for preorders or would a current preorder fall into a second batch?
There is ALWAYS space to preorder. That being said, the Second batch is still quite optimistic, maybe third batch. Remember, there were more than 500 preorders in the first week alone.

300 black does that mean youve already did a colour survey or are you making 50/50 black/chrome
 
Och nö I wanted dark chrome:(
„(heul)“

But it’s seems like it’s now getting serious whit the Massproduktion



Whit best regards, Matthias
 
So basically, if you're in a hurry, opt for a black one. I won't be manipulated like that, though. I wait for dark red or safety orange. Nah, I go for dark chrome. Still hoping for cases in proper colours and/or transparent (but from the latest mold revision) being available sometime later.

Nope, that won't change. Dark Chrome and Black will be ready at the same time, but we'll start assembling the lids first, then the rest.
So we'll start assembling 300 black lids and until then, the poll and the needed number of case colors will be ready as well.
 
Breadbin or C64C ? :p
Personally I'd be for SX-64 portable color scheme.

Curiously that is still a brown colour, though it's only arguably a beige, because most things on wikipedia's beige page at least are significantly more yellow or more red, whereas this colour, if you boost the saturation and increase the value, you get orange. If you start at pale brown and reduce the saturation even further, that's what you get.

Sounds like a good plan, like i said before, the Lids are the same on any Pyra, expect of the Color, and putting the LCD Cabel through the Hinge Part makes it a bit more divicult than the rest of the Case.., i know there are some diverence to the Pandora, but in the end, the Bottom Part may be just the 2 Boards, the Keymat, and to bring the buttons in correct order...

My Pandora once lyed apart on my floor, and puzzling it back together looked scarry at start, but was nothing you cant do if you have a bit experience whit Kinder Surprise Egg Toys
