Per their project page in 2024 they were taking orders to create the shells. Maybe there’s a loophole that exists where the housing is exempt because the internals are DIY.

In any case, money was involved.

This one seems different in that the barrier for entry is pretty high, plus the actual finished mod is not intended to be played very heavily.
