Well, congrats on getting one. You are lucky. You’ll have to let us know how it works out. It seems easily available in the UK. So I don’t know why they only made such a limited number of the US version. Someday, I hope to acquire one. BTW. I forgot to mention. I didn’t get anything directly vintage. I did get an Apple TV 4K. I also got an El Capistan Tape Echo for my Synths and Theremin. That’s kind of vintage in an emulated kind of way. I did get my kid an M1 Mac mini. It’s shockingly fast, even compared to my i7 MacBook. I also got him Mario Kart Live Luigi Edition for the Switch. That is uber cool. - Derrik

Yes. Available in the US. I ordered through Amazon. It was backordered and delayed many times, but I finally got it about a week ago.
Amazon always shows it as Currently unavailable when I check.
It's possible that there are none left. I found out that it was available through my circles in the C64 community. Namely IRC chat #64friends on freenode.
Thanks.
