   Desperate to get some of these into Australia somehow, the TMNT cabinet is gorgeous.

      Ebgames and Gamesmen sell Arcade1ups. Stock limited at times.

      I thought the TMNT one was available locally?

   From what I can find, Arcade1up gave up on selling in Australia. ALDI was a bust, and BigW was a bust too. It seems Amazon AU has some units but nothing beyond the first run of arcades.

         Not that I’ve been able to find. I’m trying to get the attention of Arcade1UP on Twitter to ask about Australian distribution for these new units

            Definitely keep me informed, curious to see what they say.

      Maybe if they weren’t trying to sell them for 500 bucks they might have had some more success.

         To be fair, that’s a fair price considering most arcade cabinets sell for $1000 or more on Ebay.

            No, it’s not a fair price. They were too expensive. That’s half the reason they flopped here. Consumers looked at the price and told them they were dreamin’.

            I recognise actual real cabinets can be a couple of thousand dollars or more, but this isn’t original arcade hardware, it’s not a full sized cabinet, and the controls are not arcade quality. These are essentially toys. It’s a cheap custom board running an emulated version of the games and the early models only had mono sound (recent ones have stereo). Each cabinet only has 3-4 games (some only 1 or 2) as well. Many of these games can be purchased digitally or in collections for current systems as well.

            If they were selling closer to $250 they might have been more successful, but they aren’t worth 500 bucks. For that price you can get a 1TB PS4 Pro.

   i dont get how costco hasnt picked these up after aldi dropped them in australia.
   mind you – aldi probably over ordered and the prices are high, but costco could move units by the truckload, especially with their online store now.
