Asahi Series - Limited Edition cases

[Megatron]

Just sharing the four colours from the Asahi Series.

Akuma (Devil) Red
Arashi (Storm) Grey
Haruku (Hulk) Green
Shinkai (Deep Ocean) Blue

Note: This was not an A1200.net crowdfunding but commissioned to be produced for the community and different production lines were used such that the delivery of the outstanding cases (500) and keycaps were not impacted. Thought I'd mention this before some go ape over this ;-)

I've bought one of these and indeed they are very nice and recommended for your "dream" setup.

FYI: The only downside that it's shipped directly from China and Fedex is the only shipping option (also and NO PP payment).

But play close attention to the shipping options: "EU (No tax)" means VAT and handling fee WILL be collected by Fedex on delivery. Simply "EU" in the shipping option means the shipping price is all inclusive with VAT and handling - no extra cost.

So it's highly recommended to play around with your order and maybe split it, it could end up much cheaper overall - in my case I was too quick to order and ended up with a 130€ bill instead of 55€ if I simply split the order.

I have sent this feedback to the A1200.net guys - they might be able to change the shop checkout text to make this more clear and visible.

Only allowed to buy a single case at a time? I'd like 8 cases but am not allowed to bulk purchase so buying seperately is not an option for me.

Maybe write them a mail and explain - they might be able to sort you out depending on stock and availability

They made 200 of each color, so i think they won't mind selling several to one guy, they don't seem to go fast.

I have bought a red one myself. Darker than what i thought. As the case is rather translucent, it should look nice with leds inside the case so i would need a ReAmiga board to have it joyfully blinking with onboard leds. I may install a regular white grey keyboard instead of the black keycaps pictured here, i think it might look better, and i already have a full black 1200 now thanks to previous A1200.net stuff.

PS: about VAT and customs, i think i got mine without paying anything fortunately.

I just ordered mine, I really like the green one.

i dont know if you agree my position but :

I was very affraid to pay by credit card, because the site require the card numbers directly, I hate this, I prefeer to pay by Paypal, because there is also the security of the customer, and i dont know the suggesteds other payments means.
there is too little information on transport too, on a1200.net nothing indicates that the package leaves Hong Kong, in short, the site is very poor, and can scary buyers, I bought because that I spoke with someone from a1200.net on discord, otherwise I would never have spent such a sum on an unknown site with so little information.

I dont know if there is possible to forward this remark to a1200.net seller, and if another persons agree my position.

i look forward to receiving my parts =)

I didn't bother in the end.

@CCRider

And it means that there are more cases for other people to buy, should they wish to.
