My corners look like shit, but I'm probably pretty lucky compared to what could have happened.

That blows.
I got mine from Amazon.jp about a month ago. Luckily they shipped in a proper box.

I saw your facebook post. I would love to have all three models, but I don't want to spend the money. I thought about ordering from Amazon Japan, but for some reason, I thought you could only get the PCE or CG versions from them, and if I could only get one, I wanted the US version because all of my other minis are US versions.

That’s what I originally thought as well. It wasn’t until like 10 IG users told me that I found out.
Luckily they are all technically business expenses. One of the perks of the job :)

Yeah, so I am in the US, and I have all the US minis, including the Atari Flashback X (but not the C64 or Neo Geo- I WOULD get a Neo that looked like the home console, if they made one), as well as the Famicom Mini, and normally, yeah, I'd get the TG16 mini. But it's barely mini, way too big. I'd rather have the "European" model instead (why did they choose that model to be the Euro version anyway, was that one even released there?). I have no attachment to the TG16 anyway, as I never owned one.

The Neo Geo X is basically that. Portable with an enclosed dock that looks just like a mini AES console.
