I made this poll to get a feeling of how many are out there so if you have one or all of them please vote. If you have all 3 models/machines then click on all 3 options. If you know someone who has one get them to vote too.. 
You can post this on RGL Facebook page or in THEC64Mini FB Group too, to get it to more users out there. Thanks.. I will not be locking the poll to give users time to vote so it has no time limit. |

I did have the mini and maxi but unfortunately had to sell the maxi last week to a friend because I'm still not back to work after a hand injury. Good news is hand is coming along nicely and should be able to work within the next month or so. Then I intend to get another maxi even if I have to pay a premium for one to have it shipped here to the states. Loved that machine. But now I'll appreciate the mini more. Eventually I'll get the working keyboard kit for it too.

I expect the maxi and Vic to only go up in price as years go on. Look at how the DTV plug and play C64 did. What bugs me is I bought one at toys r us years ago for $20 and ended up selling it for less at a garage sale before I knew it wasn't emulation and had a C64 on a chip. It would be fantastic if they sold it again shoved into a mini case but had the actual cartridge, tape, and disk drive ports on the back complete with the two Atari joystick ports on the side. Many people have added various actual ports to it.
I can't wait for the Amiga version of a mini or maxi they're rumored to be working on. Since I'd assume it'll be using a more powerful cpu, it should be able to emulate other 16 bit machines and consoles. Maybe even be able to run Mega 65 and Super CPU games as well as some MAME ports. Actually I wonder if the C64 mini and maxi can handle MAME games from the 80's like dig dug, frogger, or donkey Kong.

The RRP of THEC64 Maxi in the UK was £109.99 now its £131.99, it shows the RRP on Amazon, probably because the import charges have gone up so things that are made in China have gone up.

I have the C64 Maxi and two minis. One of the most important things I have learned in the last 20 years of the hobby is that when one of these unicorn products comes along like the C64 DTV, Atari Flashback 2, The C64 Maxi etc. is that you had better get a few because they don't stay in production forever. Amazon has been out of stock since my pre-order got deleted other than a return I snagged. I want to buy a stash of these things but I can't buy what isn't in stock! Then I want to see keyboard and tower cased Amigas!

My VIC20 arrived here in Canada from the UK about a month ago. I was stoked af to get it and still looking forward to setting it up. Yes..still looking forward to setting it up (its even in the plastic wrap still lol) I've been caught up with other things at the moment and looking for that perfect afternoon to fire up a bunch of extra programs to add to it once I get it setup.
