The package came with no damage (Overseas shipment to the US) and it was shipped quickly! Customs took several days, which is normal. The kit was easy to put together. The quality of the materials are top-notch! Seeing the plastic boxes house the different pieces gave me a feeling of quality materials and thought went into manufacturing it. All of the vendors in the US were sold out and I could only find a supplier in the UK (Pi-supply). In fear of it never being manufactured again, I had to order it anywhere!! I am glad I ordered it. I am waiting for the 12" screen to be shipped to me (From an eBay vendor). The 8" screen is nice, but I want a bigger screen!! I also purchased my Raspberry Pi 3 Version B as well as the official power supply. All works great! I am a very happy camper!!
My seven year old helper and I built this over a weekend and he's now addicted to Frogger! We powered the Picade and Raspberry Pi 3 with two ports from a Swees 25600mAh usb portable power bank and it kept us entertained over the Easter bank holiday away in the (wet) off-grid Yorkshire Dales. We did find that if the speakers were too loud it would draw too much power and crash during PlayStation emulation. Overall very pleased with the product and happy with the build quality.
