AI Vega Update: Configurable LED choices
 

Looks like some more information from AI today on the Vega. It seems you will be able to order completely configurable LED options in their PowerPuck design.

Check out the video here: http://youtu.be/Y7fBPuMT7NE

There will be two AI Vega models:

Standard: cool white, royal blue, and blue
Color: cool white, royal blue, blue, green, and deep red

Available in Black or White case and shipping this summer

Customized PowerPucks purchased separately.

cool! I wish they would do an upgrade like this for the sol, but I imagine you would have to update the drivers as well? still a neat feature though

Do you have an eta Martin?

No ETA yet but I feel like its getting close. I'm gonna guess that these PowerPucks have to be ordered separately. It would be very hard to stock more than a few combinations. It will be interesting to see how they work this.

So I wonder how it works with control then, if you mix and match colors will you have independent control of each color or will it depend what string it's on. Hopefully you can also save some money and order a unit with the pucks you want originally rather than replacing them after the fact.
Very curious how this will work, keep us updated.

Given 9 color choices and 4 spots per puck that's 6561 different possible combinations per puck. Multiply that by 4 pucks and you get 26,244 different setup possibilities for Vega. Pretty sure that would have to be made to order. haha.

I am guessing they are either going to go direct to retailers and get rid of the distribution channels or the pucks will be an add on.

Ok I should have read the whole thing.

I see you've been taking pre-orders. Any idea on a price for the Vega Color? I will be buying 2.

I believe they will be both the same price at $499.

Is there going to be a new controller? There old fisher price model wasn't that great.
