So who's ordered/ordering the KIM-1 Repro Kit?

Apparently pre-orders are being accepted for a Micro KIM-1 Repro in Kit form for $99 or assembled for $149:

I don't know why I have a wet spot for this thing but these originals go frequently on Ebay for $200+US

Who's ordered or gonna?

This tempting, but I've got too many hobbies and diversions already.

I'm a bit bummed out right now with my dead C16. If I can get that going, then maybe I'll find the motivation to push on with this hobby...

Did you mail off the warranty card that was in the box?

Sorry couldn't resist...get support counselling if required man...trust me I know how dead electronics can drive one over the edge

I emailed him about the availability of the boards and got this response:

I have not yet sold out of the first 50, I have about 15 left. Boards just arrived so I'll start putting orders together this weekend. It is going to take about a week to get caught up with orders. A CD is included with assembly instructions in the manual as well as the KIM-1 user manual.

Tempting!

Cool!

Are you digging out soldering iron again?

Watch out for the carpet burns (I have a few)

It is kind of cool, but a bit too simplistic for my taste. I'd be more interested in the more expensive Replica 1 (or perhaps the competing product A-One). On the other hand, I have enough broken stuff and other things to not buy more items to play with. For example, I have a badly smashed TRS-80 Model III in my livingroom right now, that I hope the shipping insurance will cover in part or full.
