It's a kind of crowd funding exercise - without the funding.

It will be interesting to see if there is any mileage in this.

You have to pre-order the kit to vote, and if it gets picked...you pay for it. Otherwise you might get get hundreds of votes for a kit, put it back into production only for nobody to actually buy it.

I've seen the photo-etch company LVM do this (sort of). They are taking pre-orders for a Saturn V gantry and will only put it into production if there is sufficient interest. I reckon each tower will cost in the region of £2,000.
