A definite back for me. But...only $65 US for the deluxe version? The bill of materials is sizable; I'd expect more in the neighborhood of $100-$120. I hope we don't end up with another Armchair situation on our hands.

Gotta say this raises A LOT of red flags for me. First time creator - hell, they've never even BACKED a kickstarter before, let alone created one. Price point that seems way too low for the number of items Ships NEXT MONTH? I've never known any kickstarter to deliver a month after closing, let alone one with this many parts.
They seem very naive to me, particularly with the shipping date. I don't see how they're going to produce 8 popup dioramas and all the other things on the list that quickly or cheaply.
At best, for that price I think the quality will suffer, at worst it will be massively delayed or they'll realise that they've underpriced it and aren't able to fulfil it at all.
This is very much a caveat emptor project.

The project creator just sent out a message - he is going to cancel the Kickstarter and relaunch it in 4-6 weeks with a more realistic approach.
