There was one left on an Aliexpress store in white at a good price so went for it. Black or white wasnt available at the time on UK stores e.g. whatgeek

I got it from Aliexpress, £53.59. The SP was £40 and the 40xxV was £61, the Miyoo Mini Plus was £62 last year.

Yes, had to the pay the charge.
DHL have just delivered the PR5
It's a Christmas present though, so likely just make sure it works and pass it back to be wrapped

How much was the charge in the end? like £60?

40 something IIRC. The Mrs dealt with it.

That's not too bad, I was expecting 20% (£40) + a £25 surcharge.

Contacted DHL and they had no record of the shipping number. Retroid confirmed they hadn’t shipped the item yet but it go this week.
Just had a notification off DHL and retroid that it has now shipped…… using the same shipping number as was in the initial voicemail….

Trust me, it's not unlike DHL to be utterly useless with communication, even on a commercial level.

Are man, you got ripped off
I paid £47.87 delivered for the Brick. MM+ with a 64GB games card came to £27.31 delivered.I sold the MM+ and might also sell my RP Mini. RP5 is in the post and still undecided on what I do with that. It's so refreshing running MinUI on the Brick as it means I just play games instead of installing and configuring the device (well, not as much as I would others)
Might just get a Modretro Chromatic bundled with Tetris - Then I can only play that!

Brick is going well for now. I would say its a slightly smaller, lighter and more powerful RG35XX+ with a much better screen and better made. Feels solid, no rogue inputs on the dpad and face buttons are nice, if slightly clicky for my liking.
Great site to compare handhelds - https://retrocatalog.com/compare/trimui-smart-brick/rg-35xx-plus

Not sure why that 1st Miyoo Mini + cost £60! lol ah well. That was off Aliexpress as well. But then at least it is still working, unliky the RG35xxH which just stopped booting for no reason. The same SD card works for a different RGxx console but not the H.
My Brick has been shipped!

Not sure about next gen, but I believe the 'best' handheld is the Asus ROG Ally X - https://uk.store.asus.com/rog-ally-x-264368466-90nv00f1-m001b0.html
Depends what people mean by best though, I like portability and recently love MinUI the RG Brick. I have more powerful handhelds but it just become an endless configuration and curation cycle
