Gone already.

I managed to get a black Pocket, dock and GG adapter, but I was nervous because it took a LONG time for the shipping to calculate.   
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Man, I can't believe it went THAT fast.  I have to imagine they plan to rerelease/make more.  I don't think any of their other stuff has gone that quickly.

I was able to grab one as well, along with the dock and GG adapter.  I also got the case and screen protector, since I'm a little rough on my handhelds. 

But I also had to wait a few minutes for shipping to calculate, and this was at 8:00pst on the dot.  Hopefully that means they calculated their stock correctly so none of our orders get cancelled.

Well, thanks Wiggy for buying 24 of them.  I may want to buy one from you  ;).  In all seriousness, damn it and holy hell that was fast.

I wouldn't be too worried if you missed it.  I would say there is a 98% chance that they have another order of these down the road.  And just recently, they added the option to be notified by email when they are back in stock.  I'm currently waiting for the Super NT to be back in stock as that's the only Analogue system that I'm missing.

Analogue has made a statement that they plan to put more up at a later date, and that supplies are limited due to Covid, but that they expect more down the road.

Just barely managed to snag mine just before they sold out, which was about 10 minutes in. As soon as I saw the calculating shipping problem on my phone, I pulled out my iPad and quickly tried to buy it there too. The iPad went through first, so I managed to get a black unit, dock, and Game Gear adapter pre-ordered. Hoping they'll make a decent amount more available for everyone who wants one.

This will be my first Analogue product! I'm also curious to see about fitting these adapters into ShadowFox's GB cases with some modding.

I’ll wait for the 2nd or 3rd round. No thanks to waiting 9-10 months for something to be manufactured and delivered.

There will surely be another couple of rounds of preorders as they get closer to completion.

I missed that one too! But seriously... FINALLY a great console on which we can play Game Gear games with proper sound and image :D
I was planning to have my GG fixed with new capacitors and screen, but I prefer spending on a more modern device which will also be a GameBoy replacement.
