You have seen the size of some people's collections on here right? :P

AHHHHhhh HAHAHAHAA! That is FUNNY! I am merely saying I am not using a commercial boating company to transfer true "Free Market" product. :P ;)

Well I think you'll have plenty of repeat customers after the first round of orders. I plan to get quite a few more after my first 25. I too am anxiously awaiting the first batch after getting the sample from you!
Off-topic: All this talk of people having withdrawls and game product shipped on boats reminds me of the fiasco that is Hyperkin's Facebook comments right now....The gaming community can be pretty ridiculous when they really want something and have to wait....

Aw man, I JUST heard about the Retron5 lastweek. Imma going to be buying one of those babies ASAP! I'm actually planning on yard sale hunting this weekend to scoop up some GB games to plan to the tv once I get a Retron5
TyrannicalFascist:
Yeah my Game Boy collection has already doubled since I decided I wanted a Retron5. Which is good for you as well, as I'll need that many more cases!
The latest word is that if you want a Retron5 anytime soon, check your local game stores as they will be getting small quantities in the next week or so. Some stores might let you pre-order it in advance. People who pre-ordered online will have to wait because apparently Hyperkin underestimated the demand and is having to make more systems to meet it. Early reviews are starting to come in on their FB page, and it's all good things so far.

Seeing and playing the Retron 5 at Pax East was awesome, pokemon ruby in hd with snes controller was the only reason i bought the Retron5 I went home and preordered it at amazon. I have no idea when the damn thing will ship but hopefully amazon upholds my preoder and ships it for the 99 bux they promised.
till then i got the gamecube with gb player lol

I preordered and have if locked in for $75 from amazon which is well below the $130 I heard they're doing last but they really should have worked on telling us when they knew stuff. They were so eager to let us know they got the community involved early and we all know how angry people have been.
That said, I'm fine with my GBP + Hori game pad & GCN component cables. But for anyone without the Hori the SNES pad will be very nice. I look forward to the reviews tho and hope it delivers....but first I'm psyched to hear the cases are en route!
Shadowfox:
Small Update!
The cases should land in LA on the 12th (This might vary with weather and water conditions a day or two +/-)
The 12th is next Monday and the dock/customs will charge me $$$ per day it's stored there. So I'm lining up a day to take off from my day job to go down there and pick em up. (More than likely the same day they land/clear)
I have nailed down the shipping boxes and am currently working on my site trying to nail down a proper shipping rate(s) per qty. (This will not effect yall for this round, like I said, the first round of to TPC will be at my cost + $1 for the shipping box, but after this I'll be implementing a shipping rate, just to make it easier to process.)
