Stage 01 · Community poll
We asked the community first
Before committing to a new production run of Amiga 1200 replacement cases, we opened a community poll. It let us measure real demand, find out which colors you wanted most and prepare the preorder phase properly.
Mass production needed at least 600 preordered cases. The initial preorder price was set at €89 per case, with a volume-based refund promised if higher tiers were reached.

Stage 02 · Preorders
Preorders closed, production confirmed
Preorder goal: 600 cases
87% reached
The remaining units were topped up by A1200NET so the run could go ahead.
The preorder phase closed at 87% of the 600-case goal. It came very close, and as promised in our FAQ, given the strong support from the Amiga community, we are covering the missing units ourselves so production can move forward.
With those added units, the run now totals approximately 800 cases or more.
Because the goal was not reached through preorders alone, the preorder price stays at €89 per case and no volume-refund tier applies.
Thank you to everyone who voted, preordered and spread the word. You made this run possible.

Stage 03 · Tooling schedule
Mold update in progress
We are now updating the tooling for this run. The top-shell mold is being modified to remove the HxC window area. This prevents the visible shade or discoloration effect that could otherwise appear on darker case colors.

Mass production and quality control

Stage 05 · Dispatch
Logistics and preorder dispatch
After production and quality control, all cases ship to our warehouse to be processed and dispatched.
These are preorders, not pledges. Every preorder is a final order that will be packed and shipped once we reach this stage.
You will automatically receive tracking information as soon as your order is dispatched.
Still want a case from this run?
Preorders remain open while tooling is underway. Reserve yours now and it ships with the rest of the run.
FAQ
Questions about this production run
Everything you need to know about preorders, pricing, production and shipping. Can’t find your answer? Get in touch and we’ll help.
Preorders and colors
Why did you run a poll before opening preorders?
The poll let the community help shape this run. It measured real demand, identified the most requested colors and helped us plan the preorder phase.
Can I still preorder a case?
Yes. Preorders remain open on our shop for latecomers while the tooling update is underway.
Can I order more than one case?
Yes. Shipping fees are calculated dynamically based on your delivery address, parcel size, total volume and weight.
Can I choose my case color?
Yes. You select your color directly on the shop product page, just like with our previous case releases. Final production colors depend on community interest and preorder demand, so not every poll color is necessarily produced.
Can I change my color after placing a preorder?
Color changes are limited now that production quantities are confirmed. If a change is possible, it can only be made before mass production begins.
Pricing and refunds
What was the minimum production quantity?
A full production run required at least 600 preordered cases. We said that if preorders came close, we would cover the remaining quantity ourselves, and that is what happened.
Is the production run confirmed?
Yes. Preorders reached 87% of the 600-case goal and we topped up the rest. The run totals approximately 800 cases or more.
Will I get a volume-based refund?
No. The refund tiers (€5, €10 or €15 per case at 600, 700 or 1,000 preorders) only applied if preorders alone reached those volumes. Because the 600-case goal was reached with our top-up, the price stays at €89 per case.
Production and shipping
When does mass production start?
Mass production starts once the tooling update is finished and signed off. The tooling schedule runs from August to October 2026, and the start date will be posted on this page.
How long does production take?
A production run of up to 1,000 cases takes approximately 90 days.
When will my case ship?
After production and quality control, the cases ship to our warehouse, where preorders are processed and dispatched. You will automatically receive tracking information once your order is on its way.
Where are updates posted?
