The mini is now listed as unavailable on Amazon.com. I guess that means it sold out in the States. Review units are in the mail. Apparently very few are coming to content creators. That's according to twitter. Can you give us a link to the Tweet? Thanks!

My first thought upon seeing the Turbografx 16 mini was no longer available on Amazon, was OH NO! It's going to be cancelled.
I probably won't feel safe until I have it in my hands:)

I don't have any issues with eBay myself. I've had to return things on occasion, but most of the time everything works out fine. Don't get me wrong, eBay suuuuuuucks. But in this case it was a very straightforward pre-purchase of a new item from a mega seller with five figure feedback. Piece of cake. Zeta, did you get the PCE or Turbo Mini? I went the Turbo route since it appeared easiest. If anyone snags an extra PCE Mini and wants to offload it please let me know.

I went PCE. If I wanted a TG-16 Ver I would have just ordered from Amazon US ages ago.
As of this writing Play Asia still hasn’t taken orders.

Boy, am I glad I didn't wait. I remained on the fence until just recently so I'm glad I didn't wait as well. Hopefully Konami will make enough of them so that average Joe-schmo can nab one at retail.

This thing being an Amazon exclusive wasn’t something Play Asia didn’t know when they created a page for the product. Why would they put it up if they had zero chance of getting supply? There are dozens of exclusive channels for games and music and movies that import shops circumvent routinely and have done for ages. If the product is common enough they’ll get it. If necessary they’ll order the things from the exclusive web shops themselves or pay street teams to buy them out of shops on foot. This is done routinely. P Bandai, Pokémon Center stuff, etc. The price goes up, sometimes it doubles, but it’s there. Just like how you can buy Record Store Day indie store exclusives from eBay sellers a month before they are released.

www.konami.com/games/pcemini/topics/jp/ja/topics_2New interview on the Japanese site, this time with the creator of the Spriggan games. This thing being an Amazon exclusive wasn’t something Play Asia didn’t know when they created a page for the product. Why would they put it up if they had zero chance of getting supply? Ah, didn't realize they had a product page for it. Guess we'll see if they accept preorders or wait until they actually have some on hand, then.

I'm considering going into debt by attempting to buy a PCE Mini Core off of Amazon JP while I still can. Hopefully my debit card will work as it appears that my Amazon credit card doesn't transfer between regions.
