A fully assembled, high-quality handmade bookshelf Insert with a Cyberpunk diorama theme.

Story
 

  • Have you fallen in love with the beautiful neon lights of the Cyberpunk world?
  • Do you want to experience a high-tech, low-life city?
  • Would you want a piece of this unique world inside your home

The Cyberpunk MiniAlley turns this dystopian futuristic world into a reality. Now you can have your very own piece of Cyberpunk diorama in your own home. This beautiful handmade piece sits neatly on any bookshelf and provides the perfect escape into a world unlike any other. There are three different swappable design options: the Vending Machine, the Retro Arcade, and the Capsule. 

It’s time to immerse yourself in a new world and explore a high-tech city filled with neon lights. Touch, see and experience the Cyberpunk world firsthand with the Cyberpunk MiniAlley.

All Cyberpunk MiniAlley backers will get a Free optional upgrade from the Octopus Sign to the Ramen Sign.

The Cyberpunk MiniAlley has over 300 unique and intricate details. Our design team spent two years studying hundreds of Cyberpunk reference images to develop this hyper-realistic world. This is the perfect feature piece to draw attention to your bookshelf and start those exciting Cyberpunk conversations.

   

The Cyberpunk MiniAlley uses sophisticated illusions to make the alley appear a lot deeper than it actually is. This creates the feeling of a complex and busy world in a small space. What’s more, it will look and feel like your Cyberpunk world extends far beyond the walls of your home!

 

The MiniAlley is proudly designed and made in the USA. We pride ourselves on the quality of each piece we produce.

We use advanced laser engraving technology to achieve high-resolution (up to 1000 dpi), precise, and consistent art details.

 

 

After engraving, each MiniAlley requires extensive fabrication, expert painting, hand assembly, and several polishing layers. We ensure that our dioramas meet our high standards and are guaranteed to impress our backers.

 

 

 

 The Mini Alley is powered by 4 AA batteries.  If you prefer the power plug method, you can use the AA Battery Adapter.  

 

 

 Please watch the video below for a full explanation of the rewards and multiple add-on options that come with the Cyberpunk MiniAlley.

 

The Cyberpunk Mini Alley standard model has three different design options for backers. Each option will set a different tone for the alley.

  •  Vending Machine:  dystopian futuristic
  •  Retro Arcade: nostalgia, futuristic version of the ’80s.
  •  Capsule:  advanced science and technology, mysterious feeling

You will select the design you want in the pledge manager sent out after the campaign is completed.

Why stuck with one design when you have an option to get an additional one? The Vending Machine, Retro Arcade, and Capsule are interchangeable.

 

This add-on has multiple unique Cyberpunk Arts to change the look of the Vending Machine screens

 

Bring out the low-life part of the Cyberpunk Mini Alley with this add-on

 

High-tech hologram street signs. We have three designs for the street signs: the ramen, the adult club, and the jazz club. You can even get one with personalized text.

 

 

An interesting twist to the Cyberpunk Mini Alley.

 

 

 The cyberpunk genre is heavily influenced by Japanese culture. You can hang this cool Japanese lantern add-on anywhere in the alley

 

 

Unique dystopian cyberpunk wall posters stickers

 

The outside of the standard unit is plain maple wood, and it is completed hidden when you tuck them between books. However, if you would like to have the outside of the mini alley exposed, we have these amazing cyberpunk drawing covers from very talented artists ( @ninjajo_art and @nomansnodead) that we collaborated with.

 

If you are getting the mini alley as a gift for someone special, wouldn’t you want to leave a message for them? We can engrave your message on the top cover. There is also an option for a blank top cover.

 

Due to the current volatility of shipping costs, shipping payments will be collected well after the end of the campaign, close to our ship date. This will allow us to present the most accurate and up-to-date prices to pass savings on to you, our valued backers. Please note that the price of the item does not include additional duty and taxes that may apply as per local laws of importation.

The estimated shipping fee is  U.S. $10, Canada $18, EU $25, Asia $25.

We are Techarge LLC, a product design studio in Pennsylvania, USA. We started developing the Mini Alley book nook / bookshelf insert series in 2019 and have sold over 4000 units worldwide. This is our 5th design and also our 3rd Crowdfunding Campaign.  Given our successful track record with the previous two campaigns, we are confident that we will deliver a high-quality product and great customer service to our backers.  

If you are not familiar with our brand, please check out the reviews from our official stores on Etsy,  Amazon, and MiniAlley.com. We have over 500 five stars reviews. 

 The Cyberpunk MiniAlley is the 5th design in this series and it is also the most sophisticated design. Our team spent two years in R&D to develop it. We have gone over 30 different prototypes and developed multiple new manufacturing processes to reach the final design today. We hope you will enjoy every moment with the Cyberpunk MiniAlley.

 

Risks and challenges

Because the Mini Alley is handmade, it is challenging to have mass production like other typical products. We have made and sold over 4000 units worldwide with other MiniAlley designs. Therefore we are experienced and have a reliable manufacturing plan and process that can handle unexpected problems. During the first campaign, the pandemic forced our main workshop to shut down for several months and caused up to 2 months delay in our delivery schedule. However, we were able to make necessary changes and worked diligently to get back to schedule quickly. In the end, we actually started shipping early for many backers. For our second campaign, we completed and shipped everything on time without any delay. Any issues or concerns from backers were addressed within 24hr. The trust of our great community is reflected in the many positive reviews we’ve received on previous products and campaigns.
