Are these being sold as PCBs only or is there a way to get a fully assembled board?

A shame, I would've paid for one if they didn't make it so many hoops to have to jump through.  Bet a few others would, as well (if they'd publicized it beyond Facebook and their own forum).  Frustrated that it feels like one of those "old boys clubs" (snooty exclusivity, blahblahblah).

Will probably bid on one when they inevitably show up on ebay.  :laughing:

I have an extra GBA1000 blank board from the run a few years back that I'll trade for one. So, who ordered that extra one ? :D

I do plan to document and post updates as I go on this. His will be the first one done and take the most time to make it absolutely perfect since he did hook me up with getting one in his order too!

Kits only.  They provided all the parts as a package if you wanted, or, you could source them yourself.  I chose the former.  Now, it's off to Acill to assemble it for me.

I paid them via Paypal.  I asked very nicely, auf Deutsch... :)
