Since the other run seems dead. I would be interested in a full kit.

Wow, this is good news
Haha, thanks guys!
Yeah this one has been on the drawing board for aaaaages and I'm glad we're finally getting around to it. It will likely use some of the same components as the other one would have, since there are really only a few existing "real world" options in terms of displays, arduinos, teensy's and such. Our focus will be first-and-foremost on "prop accuracy" with the "role play" mode being more of a bonus. I'm planning to use actual graphics and things from the film as much as possible, like when K runs the replicant ID number through the fugitive database, to keep that part "authentic".
Hopefully it will not be too long until I can show off some progress, but in the meantime, the support (and faith) is appreciated!

Made a small change of plan (for the better). After thinking about it for a bit, I think I can possibly do the lens popup spring-loaded by printing those parts in PLA instead of resin. (And if enough folks sign on, maybe I can have them laser-cut out of aluminum, but there's a fairly hefty minimum order to fill a certain size sheet.) If so, that's what will happen, but I am still leaving a small caveat in case it has to be manually activated. (There's also an issue with fitting everything. My current measurement says that the prop LCD screen does not match up to any real-world screens in size or ratio, and since I want the exterior to be accurate, we'll have to get a larger screen, place it inside and only show part of it through a piece of laser-cut plexiglass. This means that we'll need more space inside, because we have to use a 2.8" screen. (I'll get into all this stuff more when I start the build thread.)

Noted, thanks!
This is now my # 1 priority. I'm dealing with a very sick (old) cat at the moment so I haven't been able to go full-steam, but as far as modeling goes this is on the top of my list. I don't want to show anything until I have figured out some things, but it's well underway. I would like to have a finished copy done some time before Xmas... that's what I'm aiming for.
I have had a change in available finances - I am going to have to stand down on this acquisition. Sorry. As soon as I knew - I am letting you know. You products are of the highest quality. If things change - I might be able to come back on board. I am interested - I just can't do it right now.

I'm not far enough along yet to start a proper build thread, but just as an FYI as to the kind of dedication we're putting into the project, I've spent several days working out this little detail at the bottom of the shell:
That slanted edge there in the center top... it's rather odd. First I thought it might've been a chip that has come off the piece, but after looking at it for hours I'm not so sure. There don't seem to be any good photos of the bottom anywhere (I've looked, really hard and even reached out to the few "industry contacts" I have) and I've studied the tested clips frame-by-frame, enlarged, enhanced, sharpened and so on. I've just about got it sorted (too long to get into here) and my feeling is that it wasn't put there intentionally, but just kind of ended up there and no one thought much about it. (Or maybe it was put there just to confound obsessive crazies like me... ahem.)
