Question 1

Did anyone get the us release?  i had it preordered in may but now amazon says they are out and delayed my order no idea when or if it will ship

Accepted Answer

Order was supposed to be received on November 28.  I received yet another message from Amazon that morning telling me the that shipping had been delayed yet again and would I be willing to wait even longer (pre-ordered August 27).  Noticed others who had ordered a good bit later than me saying that they had already received their shipment.  Not cool.  Found vendor overseas with US presence that had stock for $10 less than my preordered price.  Ordered and have received shipping notification already.  All for less than I was initially paying.   I considered ordering a Raspberry Pi 400 instead (and likely still will), but really wanted this for the nostalgia factor.  Can's say I care at this point if it ships from Europe or the Amazon warehouse up the road.  If they can get it to me faster from Europe than things have taken thus far, no biggie.

It is, however, making me rethink whether I will order their Amiga product when it's released sometime next year.  I'd love one, but is it worth waiting another year, like the initial release of the C64, or even the long - and stretching - window  for the US release of the product?  Maybe if they rethink their distribution arrangements to allow more accessible purchasing outside of a few European countries, but I'll probably keep my money if they take this route again.
