I've been selling these for a while on theRPF and thought I'd offer them here too.
Here's a picture of what's included in the kit if you get the wall adapter. You can see the arduino above the two lit panels just so I could show it, but it folds back behind the leds for installation. Everything fits nicely in the panel. A lot of time has been spent spacing and creating the additional 7 led strip to align properly in your volvo panel. New kits now ship with dummy resistors, ICs and capacitor installed as shown below
Here's a video of the kit installed and in action!

Note an extra power switch is shown (not included, but a good idea if using the 9V battery adapter)
Pricing for the newest kits with the lighted sequenced segments, 7 leds, green screen, and dummy electronics are $179 with a wall adapter or $174 with a battery adapter. This includes shipping within the U.S., please add $15 for international shipping.
Here is a screenshot showing how the screen pattern I made is a perfect match to the one used in RotJ (outer edges are wider to allow room for installation, dimensions match screenshot when installed)
And here's a screenshot from ESB of Lando checking Han's vitals to show how everything will be placed in the panel.
And some pictures of the kit installed after painting the backing perfboards (with slightly different dummy resistor placement)
The flash sequences are very accurate to the movies. I spent hours analyzing the movies frame by frame, taking screenshots, and matching each individual segment, 13 segments total across the 4 displays. The kits now have two flash sequences, stasis (regular) sequence that was in my first kits, and now the unfreeze (fast) sequence added, as well as an off selection on the knob! I have ground a flat on the shaft of the switch so the knob tightens securely to it via the hidden set screw or you can use your own knob. I didn't want to shorten the shaft though since people with different versions of the volvo panel may need slightly different length knobs to be perfect. It is easily cut with a hacksaw or rotary tool to the exact length you need.
The video below shows the main panels of the kit in action before installation in the panel.

Video info: Shown is a frame-by-frame match of the flash sequence from ESB (from a 90 frame sequence) when the panel is clearly displayed in the film. The green LED represents the green screen panel. The fast flash sequence (copied from ~70 frames) is from ROTJ when Han is being unfrozen.
