Starting playing with the Ninja Block and having fun with my kids building wacky sensor apps. So far the best is "touch the cheese" (a human mouse trap concept).
Creator Andrew Smyk on October 9, 2012
Thank you and thank you for the quick response!
Creator Ninja Blocks on October 7, 2012
@Andrew,
Thank you for your message.
We've sent the correct case out to you.
As always if you have any questions or queries whatsoever, please don't hesitate to contact me on help@ninjablocks.com .
Cheers,
Marcus
Creator Andrew Smyk on October 6, 2012
Hi Ninja Blocks. Got mine last week but have been traveling. I ordered a BLACK case but got a simple clear case. Thought I was going to get a black case with the Ninja on the front. Pledged the $210 level.
Creator gerry campbell on September 25, 2012
Yeah! Got mine last night. Lots to explore.
Creator Irawan on September 24, 2012
@Ninja Block: thank you for the help, really appreciate it. But, I have paid it. I think I just can't wait to play with it : )
Creator Ninja Blocks on September 24, 2012
@Irawan please send me the details of your customs contact and we'll send them more information on your behalf.
Cheers,
Marcus
Creator Ninja Blocks on September 24, 2012
@Mercedes .
Shoot me an email to help@ninjablocks.com and we'll see what we can do!
Cheers,
Marcus
Creator Irawan on September 24, 2012
I've got mine today, but the commercial invoice saying the value per unit, and mine come in 3 boxes (1. Ninja Blocks, 2 Cables, 3 Sensors). Then the custom value the whole boxes as three time the value on the Invoice :(. I end up paying the tax about $250 :( I have spent the whole day arguing with the custom. But, still I lost. :(, either I pay the custom tax, or I don't get the item, and they will destroy it, really hard day (monday)
So, @Ninja Blocks, please if you have not sent other International backers, please list all the items in details in one invoice so it explains that the value is for all items.
Today, It seems I bought the USB to Mini USB cables for $80, very upset with the custom in here... :(
Creator Mercedes (Mandy) on September 24, 2012
Just received mine today, and I chose purple but got a clear case. I was really hoping to get the purple one. Sent an email.
Creator Ninja Blocks on September 16, 2012
Apologies to anyone still waiting. If you don't have a box or a tracking number by the end of the week. Please ping us at help@ninjablocks.com
Creator John Chen on September 16, 2012
Got my Ninja Blocks last week while I was on travel. Thanks for helping me with US Customs! Time to open up and start playing! :-D
Creator kstwmcw12 on August 22, 2012
Guys,
I have not received my Ninja Block, as well. Any update on status, etc would be greatly appreciated.
Creator JP Delmé on August 22, 2012
Hi Guys,
We still have not received our Ninja Block, could you have a look if it has been shipped.
Thanks
Creator Danny Wilson on August 4, 2012
Hooray! Mine arrived yesterday. Time to play with this thing!! :)
Creator Ninja Blocks on May 14, 2012
Hey everyone. We've posted a big update with shipping status and lots of other stuff over on our website. http://ninjablocks.com/blog/2012/5/14/mega-ninja-kickstarter-update.html
Creator Sarathy Srinivas on May 9, 2012
Thanks for the update. Can't wait :)
Creator Ninja Blocks on May 8, 2012
@sarathy Big apologies from the whole team from the lack of updates. The team has been flat out building blocks, testing blocks, modding blocks, writing backend software and a lot more. Wait out for a proper update in a couple of days.
Creator Ninja Blocks on May 8, 2012
@oded Apologies for the slow reply. You can login to the Ninja Cloud at http://cloud.ninjablocks.com It is going to change a lot by the time you get your blocks.

Creator Sarathy Srinivas on May 8, 2012
Hi, Could we have some updates please. I realise it may be very hectic at the moment, but taking a few minutes every fortnight to post a quick update wouldn't hurt, would it?
I'm excited about this product and am anxious about the lack of updates, but don't mind a delay of a couple of weeks as long as I receive regular updates.
Thanks!
Sarathy

Creator Eric Crisp on May 4, 2012
Hey Ninja Block Team - Just checking in on the $265 pledge level estimated delivery status - I'm most excited about this Kickstarter Project. Thanks again!
Creator Stewart Schlein on April 19, 2012
Thanks for letting me know.
Once it ships, would you be able to send me a tracking number so that I can make sure to be home to receive it on the day that it arrives?
Creator Ninja Blocks on April 19, 2012
Hi Stewart - I have your ninjablock on the desk as we speak, and it should go out Fedex either today or tomorrow.
Creator Stewart Schlein on April 19, 2012
I Am waiting on my naked block as well. I paid the $195 pledge so that I can be in the first batch of blocks that ship out, but I have not received it yet.
Has anyone else that paid the $195 pledge received theirs yet?
I have heard that this first batch has shipped out about two weeks ago.
Is that correct?
Creator Dave Cooper on April 14, 2012
Pretty excited to receive my first block! Was just wondering when these guys will start shipping internationally for people who pledged.
Creator Ninja Blocks on April 8, 2012
Hi Ic3man,
We're unable to change the pledge amount after the project has come to an end on Kickstarter.
You can however pay for missed shipping here: http://shop.ninjablocks.com/products/international-shipping
As always if you have any questions or queries whatsoever, please don't hesitate to contact me on marcus@ninjablocks.com .
Cheers,
Marcus
Creator Ic3man on April 6, 2012

Have the $195 rewards started shipping?
Creator Ninja Blocks on March 15, 2012
@John
The google sketchup files for the case are here:

Cheers,

Creator John Lin on March 15, 2012
I chose the Naked block (no case) - because I might want to make my own case. Do you have specs (dimensions, openings, etc.) on the case requirements? Can you post or make it available in some way? (a 3D CAD file would be awesome)
Creator Eric Wallmander on March 13, 2012
Congratulations from Sweden!
Creator Rob Linton on March 11, 2012
Congratulations on getting funded guys, I think your idea is awesome. Go Well.
Creator Gavin Maxwell on March 10, 2012
Well done on getting fully funded and also cracking $100K - you must be stoked! Cheers!
Creator Andrew Smyk on March 9, 2012
Just backed the Ninja Block with a little push from Mark! Hoping to get my ninja block in stealthy black!
Creator Mercedes (Mandy) on March 9, 2012
Such a great idea! I love the design & purple is one of my favourite colours. I just had to bite the bullet and fork out the money for this hehe. Also, so glad it's an Aussie made product - and the great responses from the team in regards to my email questions has helped sway me to back this project.
Can't wait to set it up and try Ninja-stalking my cat :)
Creator sean f on March 2, 2012
let's make 2012 the year of open source and 2013 the year to end all wars.
Creator Ninja Blocks on February 25, 2012
@Fred - The designs are already up for the world to see on github - Check them out here. https://github.com/ninjablocks/hardware
Creator Fred Kinch on February 24, 2012
Hey gang, great project. At the $35 level you get the designs, do you also get them at the $155 level? I like to have my own block, but I'd also like to play around with the open source hardware. What say you Ninja Block Sensei?
Creator Sarathy Srinivas on February 24, 2012
Hi Guys. Love the project! I'm thinking about automating my home, and am deciding on the wiring - the dry wall will go up in a few weeks. I'm a newbie at all this home automation stuff, but I'm guessing that ninja blocks could potentially do the work of a home automation system at a lower cost. Am i right? If so, is there any wiring that I need to do specific to where I expect my ninja blocks to be located? CAT5e cables? 5V power points? I'd like to hike up my pledge, but I'll wait for the preview before doing so.
I'd love to hear back. :)
Creator Rui Lopes on February 21, 2012
Amazing idea! Great entrepreneurship. Congratulations Guys and Miss Maddy.
Portugal is backing you up !

HW designs now up on github - cool! :) https://github.com/ninjablocks/hardware
Creator Ninja Blocks on February 11, 2012
@Charles
Yes, after launch.
Creator Ninja Blocks on February 11, 2012
@Kieth, this is something we're actively looking into. The exact mechanism on how we do this has not been decided yet.
Creator Charles Alvis on February 11, 2012
I decided to jump on board this project. Are there plans to sell Ninjas in kit form?
Creator Keith Hall on February 9, 2012
Hi there,
I'd be very interested to know if, at launch, the Ninja Cloud will support calling custom web services with the ability to send the sensor data as part of the request?
Creator Dave Cooper on February 4, 2012
@Maddy, Cheers for the quick response! Sounds great!
Creator Ninja Blocks on January 31, 2012
@Dave, the plan is to have phone and SMS available as part of the Ninja Cloud. This will be part of the premium account in regard to how many you can send. We haven't looked too closely at pricing but some will be included and then it will be x amount for every one after that.
Cheers,
Maddy
Creator Dave Cooper on January 31, 2012
Hi there,
First of all, just want to say that this looks like it will be AMAZING! As an embedded developer, I'm really keen to see what you guys produce :)
Quick question - I see an example action will be "send an SMS", how will this functionality be provided to the end user?
