“After some initial confusion/mishaps on my order it was shipped and i received it here in Sweden after 5 workdays.
Very nicely packed and in excellent condition at arrival.
I was pleasantly surprised at high quality of the product. Nice box art, poster, marquee and artwork
The estimated time of two to three hours was spot on. Took me 2 and a half hour from start to finish. Built it with my seven year old daughter who was liked to help and loved the stickers and pin ;)
Some extra screws and parts are included in case you loose some of the tiny things.
The instruction is good but take your time and read it carefully or else you will miss something. Some steps could maybe be more explained in detail but overall easy to follow.
Installed RetroPie on a 64GB sdcard and ran the Software setup for the Picade HAT.
Worked straight away and was up and playing in no time.
Have to say i also was pleasantly surprised at sound quality from the HAT and the small speaker.”
“Very well packaged & presented.
Assembly was a little fiddly in places, documentation is usable but could do with some additional diagrams (I guess this is due to size constraints of printing the instructions on the reverse of the poster.
The print quality of the panel inserts could be better (perhaps on glossy paper) but once the unit is assembled it looks quite nice & templates are available to design your own for a fully custom look (some great designs have already been uploaded on the forum).
still worth a full 5 starts though as these kits are designed for customising (I want to ad a scrolling display to my marquee when time allows)”
“A very nicely presented kit that can be built in an afternoon with minimal tools. A few little tweaks needed, which will hopefully be addressed in future. Full review and build photos on my blog: http://blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2018/08/pimoroni-picade-build.html”
“Awesome arcade, I wish the screws were labeled I had to guess on the sizes of them but altogether a really fun experience. Every box was like opening a present as they had pins and sticker surprises in them!”
