Mine has finally hit the UK, just need to clear customs and get released out... @Raymond Lin, did you get yours in the end? Any custom charges?

I got it today, no charge. Just a quick pic, USB adaptor for scale. It feels SOLID. The Anbernic stuff feels like toys in comparison. This feels super premium like what you get from Sony.

Awesome, might get mine in the next few days then if your timeline is anything to go by. I went with 4PX after hearing that DHL were always hitting custom issues.

It really does look premium, can't wait to get hands on. How is the screen for you?

I haven't turned it on yet! Because I want to set it up on first boot by following a guide. Still at work.

I might not get to set it up until tomorrow or Thursday as my new Mac Mini also arrived today as well and I have to set that up first .

I have so many things arriving in the post I had to write out a list on a piece of paper so that I can cross it off 1 by 1 in case I forget lol It is amazing how much little bits I need to get in order set up a new computer with separate monitor vs an iMac.

I actually forgot the RP5 was due today when i got it, I thought the box was for the webcam but then wondered why it was so heavy.

edit - 4px isn't that bad, total 2 weeks through Christmas and New Years. I rather wait a week more than pay more for shipping through DHL and then fees on top.

Also, the box they use for the RP5 + case fits very snug, the outer box came in pretty good condition.

Nice choice of colour @Raymond Lin, good taste

Still, getting lots of tech in the post is always exciting...especially, if like me, you forget and end up getting a surprise when stuff eventually turns up!
