Seems curious when they are so obviously tied to a community that is so fraught with a long history of pre-order disasters.
Are they? My impression is that the said community wants nothing to do with C=USA and they're actually targeting a totally different crowd (nu-retro folks.. someone who doesn't care what is inside the box as long as it looks nice & runs facebook and messenger). Makes sense, after all this nu-retro scene has a huge potential compared to the tiny classic retro crowd.
