Updated January 15th 2025
Please read:
When we post a general window as in "early/ mid June" this means the vendor has given us an estimate based on manufacturing time with an allowance of time for international and domestic shipping.
When you see the date change from a window to a specific week this means the product has at the very least shipped from the overseas manufacturer and is on its way to the vendor.
If the window changes to another window this is reflective of a delay in manufacturing or domestic shipping.
Please resist contacting us to see if the information below is still accurate.
When we receive new information from the vendor we update the list below. If a date is past tense, for example the estimate was early August and it's now mid August we are waiting to hear back from the manufacturer so that our update is accurate.
If your order contains multiple pre-order items your order will ship complete when all items arrive.
Your ordered items are held in reserve. If you see an item you have in your order sell out before your order ships rest assured your items are reserved and held for you.

Status = ON HOLD
This release is being held up because of a licensing issue with one of the titles.
Retro-Bit is working on a solution and this collection will come out, but one of the titles will surely be absent.
The good news is the title in question is the least anticipated title of the three.
For those that wish to keep their orders active Retro-Bit is working on something of a thank you; TBD.
We expect a fuller update soon.

Evercade EXP-R
January 15th Update
Status = In Transit (Finally)
This one was in short supply and our order simply didn't come ontime last year. In the meantime we've had some trouble consigning freight out of the UK for these as the batteries classify them as "dangerous" for air shipping.
We FINALLY have confirmation that these are on their way and we expect them by the end of the week if not early next week. Shipping will take one day to complete upon receipt.

gComp Switches
January 15th Update
Status = In Production/Shipping
gComp switches are in final assembly now and will begin shipping January 18th.
gSCART switches are coming in early February. We needed to create a template for wave soldering at the factory that caused a longer than anticipated delay. This will ensure a better fitment of the top plate. These are now in production and will be shipping to us before the end of the month.

Please note that the shells are now being produced by Muramasa Entertainment in China.
The good news is that the molds are final and they're beautiful. The road ahead is color matching.
Muramasa is hopeful to see proper matches before the end of the month witch makes Februray shipping technically possible.
We are respectfully projecting March/April (latest).
