Dida Displays Now Accepting Preorders

Good news, Bad news, Great news....

The good news is that at long last Didas are back in production! The factory will start making pieces in 10 days! The bad news is that there will be a delay in getting displays to you until February. The GREAT news is that the delay will be caused by the arrival of my first child! Yay! So after getting settled in with him and getting some sleep and taking care of his momma I'll get back to assembling and shipping the displays after the New Year.

However, I do need to hear from you now if you plan to purchase any of these items: A Stately Caverns Deluxe Playset, a Space Command playset, or a Mego Museum WGSH Special Edition Displaybox. The artwork for these items will be sealed at the factory so I need to know ahead of time that you want one. If you put in a deposit it will ensure you will get one, but since it is short notice if you let me know to put you down on the list I'll set one aside for you. Depositors will be the first served, and those who pre-ordered last time will be at the top of the list, but I need to hear you still want your order.

One important note: The Space Command will not include the Transporter slipcase in the pictures. That will sell separately later, and the price has been reduced because of that.

As you may know from my previous posts this has been quite a struggle to get going again. It's taken a good deal of time and effort to get a new factory to do the work and do it right. I think it's going to be worth it. I've been able to have a number of these displays in my house since the first samples were made and I really think they are great. I know you'll enjoy them and I appreciate you support and patience (in the past and in the near future).

Please check out the new website to see many pictures of displays in action plus a peak at some other things I have cooked up: The Corner Tower Display and the Tri-box Carrying Case. These will be available for sale in February.

Please let me know as soon as you can if you want to pre-order one of the deluxe sets. You can preorder here

Thanks again,
Scott Adams

Holy crap, those are awesome, Scott. I especially like the "Space Command" playset, but they are all great.

And a big congrats for the upcoming baby! Believe me, you are in for a lot of fun (and less sleep )

Exclamation

Awesome news about the baby, Scott! And remember, Auntie Sharry is available for babysitting, once you and your wife are comfortable leaving him w/ someone!

I love those tri-boxes! Like mini playsets, and so cool! Would you consider using the background templates you had for the Ape cards, (like the Zaius card and the Urko card) for the tri-boxes? That would be SO cool!

Stately Caverns Deluxe Playset: admired and ordered. I can't wait to give my loose WGSH collection a proper home!

Way to go, Scott. Gorgeous work.
