Kinda pricey but I'm actually surprised no one has done this before. Seems really easy to design.
Would be interesting to see these in person.

While I love the concept, paying ~$10 for a 6" x 6" square, making even a small building hundreds of dollars is a no-go for me. If you have a ton of money and zero dio skills, then this is a no-brainer. Otherwise, it's worth the trouble to build something yourself for pennies on the dollar.
This falls under the category of "I'm glad it exists, but there is no way in hell I'm buying any".

They kind of remind of the mechanical chain bases that could be snapped together. They are obnoxiously expensive too.
From raginspoon via Rebelscum - more pictures of this thing.

When I started designing it, I had both G.I. Joe and Star Wars figures in mind, since i collect both. These factory samples came in the mail the other day. They are the first painted ones the factory has sent over. The brown color is off, it is supposed to be more of a light tan and they painted some of the connectors but that will all be corrected.
The goal is to to have a modular system to build an entire base. Not just a single sided diorama. This is wave one and I started out with two products, a single wall that has two removable panels and a floor that comes two per box. There are several ways to connect these together though.
I am in the middle of having wave 2 designed right now. The second wave will have a catwalk geared more towards Star Wars and will have an interior wall that will look familiar.
I would love to know your thoughts if you have any questions feel free to ask them.
These should arrive and be ready for shipping in late April early May of this year. Smalljoes.com has picked the line up.
I'm a little surprised it's not cheaper if it's being injection molded using factories in China...but maybe that only kicks in if you can get a high number made.
Or did I read something wrong?

I mean the idea is cool, it is just priced out of reality due to the # of pieces you'd need to buy to get a decent looking dio.
If you are on the fence on these now is the time to order, Smalljoes.com is having a Black Friday sale. The set of 5 floors are $10 off,and the walls are $15 off regular price from what I paid for them back in July. I think the bigger seats have even a better deal right now IIRC.

We are running out of time for this Kickstarter to fund. There is about 5 hours left. Please take a look and pledge towards making this a reality. If you haven't jumped in on series one yet the "ALL IN! Every Series Two x3!! + Series 1" is a great value it includes 7 wall sets and 5 floor sets from Series 1 at about $25 discount from what is would run you on Smalljoes.com plus 3 of all unlocked series 2.
I know it's payday for most of us. Though in what you can. Once the survey goes out Raginspoon mentioned on a interview that you could add additional funds that will count towards unlocking items and won't end the survey until some time late January.

$50,000 seems like a crazy high goal for this, at least to me. The fact that they got $31K seems like a victory already.
I don't have any need or desire for these myself though.

He still is a castor - makes great stuff. I see him every year at the Iowa Joe Con.
Oh nice, I thought the name sounded familiar. That's cool! I wish I still had the passion.
That means you know Coby. He's the only collector I know in KC.He still is a castor - makes great stuff. I see him every year at the Iowa Joe Con.
Yep - I know Coby as well - see him every year too. I buy from both at that show. I rarely buy actual Joe stuff, this past year I snagged some cowboys from Small Joes, casts from both Coby and Spoon and talked to people about my paint work for Marauder. LOL
