“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!”
“This kit is really awesome! I have been particularly pleased by the quality of all the parts in the kit, from the panels to the switches, the display and the joystick. Construction is not complicated at all. The only issue is a screw and bolt that is really impossible to reach (this is one used to connect the panel with the buttons to the main chassis, so I had to use a bit of glue.
After the assembly it took me a little time to understand the retropie distribution but eventually I succeeded in installing several ROMs and now I can fully enjoy by Arcade-style playing.
Good job Pimoroni!
I really advice anyone interested in buying this kit
And the overall sales experience has been great as Pimorony has been super quick in delivering my package and like outside the U.K (in Italy).
Thanks
Luciano”
