Hmm. Thoughts?
Also, not sure if I have mentioned yet, but of course I take no credit for the initial design which this is based on, which was of course created by the two polish students.
Both Kitch and I have been trying to get in touch with them, to no avail, so if anyone knows a current email or any contact info it would be much appreciated!

Just the fact that it's SMT and it will take physical stress through use. What about putting little wings on the cart connector to screw it to the PCB?

I have them fixed to the boards well, I promise you that haha
They aren't fixed using solder only 
The mounting tabs have to be removed for GB games to fit, but I can assure you I've found a VERY strong way of mounting them haha
As for the pre-ordering, I'm in talks with Kitch atm, so I'll let you know soon!
The plan (hopefully) is that Kitch will supply them for everywhere but Australia. But as I said, were still talking!

So are they glued or something?

Bingo, yep, they are glued down tight, it's not really necessary at all, but I don't think it'll hurt.
