Snap, I've had one of the previous versions on my amazon watch list for a year, so may as well have a punt

It looks like you can get the same unit a tenner cheaper on Temu, etc... but they don't have the games preloaded and they ship from China.

It might be shit, but it's only £60 and that's A LOT of games.

...and I paid by PayPal just incase it turns out to be a scam.

Tempting at that price....

although.... having the game list in a download xlsx file is a bit worrying, even on linux i'm not going to download that.

If I ever order anything from Temu you have my permission to remove both of my testicles with a rusty spork and feed them to feral cats.

Temu probably sell those.

Titanium too!

As we have lots of trees and bushes, I purchased a proper arborist ladder - makes life so much easier. Happy bunny.

Wouldn't have known what they were until my neighbour was loading one onto his car and hour ago

Yep - single leg at the back so can get right in to the trees and wide at the front so I don't take a dive

Been thinking about getting one - encouraged by an offer on Henchman ones that I got in a mag. Not cheap though.

Bit of a game changer really, worth getting. I picked mine up from a reclaim yard for £140, pretty pleased with that.

Mine is sitting at the local sorting office and will be until Wednesday, stupid royal mail not knowing their arse from their elbow

I've had a text to say it is out for delivery tomorrow, shame I'll not be at home to receive it.

A pair of Furygan GT D30 Boots.

I wanted something a bit taller than the Alpinestars J6s but that would also easily go under jeans unliked the SMX. Not ridden a bike in them yet, 'natch, but they seem well made and are comfy if a bit stiff at the moment (currently wearing them around the house to break them in a bit).

It's alright for the money.

I wouldn't like to think I paid £120 for it.

There's a lot of games, I've just been playing the GBA version of Sonic and the Mega Drive version of Gods, only for 5 mins while my crumpets toasted.

Cool. for the money it's a use it couple of time a year when you find it in a drawer and are bored.

Advice I have been given is to copy the contents of the SD card to a reliable brand

Spiffy little puller so no more bashing wheel bearings etc out from the other side...

Second evening of back-and-forth to the kitchen and they're already getting towards the comfortable side of things.

If they resist any amount of water I'm on to a winner, I reckon.

I bought one of these. It is good. I like it.
