I'm toying with the idea still, but I've had some good feedback. 

I'll probably have this as an add-on to the campaign once we're all finished. I use a service called BackerKit to collect everyone's mailing address. That service also allows us to add new products, so I'll probably put the stands there so we can combine shipping.

If you don't know your Aurabesh, it says: 

Rogue One

Death Star Plans 

Data Card

I'm open to suggestions for other phrases instead of that one. 

What do you all think of the design? Should it be a tad wider than the card, the same size, or thinner like in the picture?

Is it something you'd want to use to display the prop? Lemme know!

Thanks,

Todd

We're funded!

Woah, that was quick!

Thanks everyone! We hit our goal in less than SIX HOURS!

We're just at about 200% funding already, and are 14 hours in. I'm excited to get started on this second batch. I'm going to look in to making quick-turnaround prototype of the rev 2 board to get it in sooner, because I'm just as excited as you are.

Stay tuned

If you're following along on the build thread, you may have seen some folks talking about the black bar across the bottom. From a prop video on youtube, we can now clearly see the exact shape of the black bar. It's actually got a curved cutout, like a thumb grip. This will of course be incorporated in the final version.

We aren't sure why the bar in this one is white, but it's possible that this one was a stunt prop and not the hero one, or maybe it just wasn't finished yet for the filming of this segment.

 I'll tweak it a tad before the campaign is over and I get these out to you all, but the above image is pretty close to what it'll look like.
