Where do I purchase?

Currently your best bet is directly from Retroid at https://www.goretroid.com/

Aliexpress and Amazon options should be arriving soon. eBay may have units for sale at an increased cost.

If you purchase directly from Retroid, it is recommended you pay the upgraded cost for DHL shipping for the fastest delivery time.

When will my order ship?
