🏭 1. We Deliver What We Announce
Over the past 3 years, we’ve released nearly every project we previously announced — including the A-12, Ho 18, and others.
Only a very small number of legacy projects remain, and the B-1 is one of them.
➡️ We may have delays — but we don’t cancel.
📐 2. The B-1 Is Not Just an Idea — 3D Design Is Already Done
The B-1 project has already completed its 3D design phase.
However, it has not yet entered mold/tooling development.
Whether it moves forward depends entirely on verified market interest.
💵 3. Why the $1 Pledge?
It’s not a pre-order.
It’s not fundraising.
And we’re not asking anyone to “help” us.
We’ve seen it many times:
“Please make this kit!”
But when it’s released — almost no one buys.
The $1 pledge is simply a filter — to separate real buyers from casual comments.
We lose ~33% in fees on each pledge, so this is not profitable, but it’s the clearest signal of true interest we can measure.
🎁 4. What Do Supporters Get in Return?
Even though this isn’t a purchase, those who pledge will receive two real benefits:
- ✅ You help accelerate a kit you actually want — your vote moves it up the production schedule.
- ✅ If you buy directly from our website later, you’ll receive an exclusive discount as a thank-you for supporting the early stage.
(We will verify your $1 pledge at checkout through email or transaction ID.)
🔒 5. Is the $1 Refundable?
No — the $1 is non-refundable, regardless of project outcome.
It is not a deposit, not a reservation, and not a pre-order.
It’s a symbolic action to say:
“Yes, I actually want this kit to happen.”
📊 6. Why 1,000 Supporters?
The number isn’t tied to profitability.
It’s a minimum signal that the B-1 has enough committed interest to justify full development.
If that signal isn’t there, we will not proceed — at least not now.
⏳ 7. About the Delay
Yes, the B-1 has been delayed — we acknowledge that.
But it has never been cancelled, and it remains in our long-term plan.
Delays are common in the model industry, even among the biggest brands.
We choose to communicate honestly, rather than make vague promises or disappear silently.
🧪 8. This Is More Than Just About the B-1
This is a test of a new decision-making model.
If successful, this pledge system will be applied to other future projects — especially high-risk or large-scale kits — giving our community a real voice in what gets made.
🎯 9. Our Position — Clear and Direct
- We’re not asking you to buy anything.
- We’re not asking for donations.
- We’re not rushing this kit because of loud comments.
- We’re looking for real signals — and this is the cleanest one we can use.
If you pledge $1, you’re counted.
If we reach 1,000 pledges, we’ll take the risk and move forward.
If not, the project stays on hold — and we move on to other work.
And again:
👉 The $1 is non-refundable, and you will receive a discount later if you buy directly from us.
