| Considering the number of new products in the pipeline e.g. A500 Mini, Metro Siege, the A1222 Plus and Apollo Icedrake accelerator to name a few, there are relatively few new products available for an Amigan's Christmas stocking! I was able to snag a new Amiga Gaming Calendar having missed out last year and it looks like they're still available:
Amiga Gaming Calendar 2022
I was considering a laser upgrade kit for my Escom A1200 mouse but other than that you can't even get a boxed version of Worthy if you missed out the first time! Whatever A-EON says I can't see that you can buy an X5000 today even if you wanted to!
Sad times? Roll on 2022! Last edited by BigD on 15-Dec-2021 at 08:49 PM.

I remember someone has recently bought one from Amedia Computer France; may be worth asking them._________________ The Rear Window blog

Ok, they seem to have a supply of mobos and they put them in a different RGB type tower case. I kinda prefer the official case but at least the machine is still available. _________________ "Art challenges technology. Technology inspires the art."

| Although yes some of the bigger projects has missed this year, I still feel it been a pretty good year and lots of new products are out there,
we seen the rise in Pistorm, Amiga magazines (amiga addict / zzap amiga), big improvements in emulation scene, checkmate cases, kickstarter books, AmigaOS3.2 etc not a bad year really _________________ AmigaNG, YouTube, LeaveReality Studio |

Relec and GGS Data both appear to have X5000 boards and systems in stock too. |

I ordered an X5000 from Amedia in November, they seem to go in and out of stock, so it seems to be a case of getting your timing right.
I’m still waiting for mine to arrive, seems to be delayed at Stanstead, probably waiting for customs clearance _________________ Glass coffins, a success? Remains to be seen. |

At first I thought you were planning Chrismas early this year. Then I looked at the date. Hey aren't things still the same now!?  |
