Anyone know where Canadians can preorder one of these? I don't have any current affiliation with Hyperkin, so I doubt any of my partners will be sending me a review unit.
There was a preorder up on Amazon.com, but not Amazon.ca. Even if it was still up on Amazon.com, that's still useless as American Amazon sellers won't ship to Canada.

Hello,
We will be carrying the system and will be shipping to Canada. We will list them on the Canada Amazon site as soon as they are released.
Blumpkin:
It's been confirmed for a December 10th release date for both North America and Europe. The Amazon listing should come back soon enough.
--- Quote ---EL MONTE, CA (SEPTEMBER 2013) – Hyperkin has set December 10, 2013 as the official release date for the RetroN 5. The RetroN 5 plays NES, SNES, Genesis and GBA cartridges all in one convenient console. The US release will coincide with the European release, with the MSRP set at $99.99 in the US and €89.99 in the European territories.
Hyperkin explains the delay in release was due to several key modifications made to the console shown at E3. The shell design was changed to allow for better ventilation, as well as accommodations to use the Sega Power Base Converter allowing users to play Master System cartridges on the console.
All versions of the RetroN 5 will come with an AC adapter with four variable head sockets to fit multiple regions with the voltage ranging from 110 to 240 volts.
Hyperkin also confirms that the release date of October 31, 2013 listed on Amazon was a placeholder, and that Amazon has been contacted to correct the release date.
“Retron 5 will be the most amazing classic game console.” said Steven Mar, Hyperkin’s Executive Director. “We thank everyone who has been patient and supportive of Hyperkin during development.”
