Just sent an email with your address and a written statement (i. e. "I'd hereby like to order one Amiga 1200 Magic Pack for personal use") to amiga1200magic@gmail.com.

Could someone remind me again, btw? Do we have to pay upfront or will Petro fiercely hunt down whoever doesn't pay the invoice included with the package?

Yes you have to pay up front, they are not shipped until you pay. The total cost for mine (in GBP) was £171 which includes a £10 fee by my bank to send money abroad.

I tried emailing amiga1200magic@gmail.com but I have received no response. Is this the UK version (QWERTY)?

No.
It's the German version (QWERTZ).

Mine arrived today. It is in fact a UK version - well mine is anyway. QWERTY keyboard and UK power supply. Overall I'm very happy with it - it all smells new and has obviously never been used. The software box is still sealed. Things to bear in mind if wanting to buy:

- There is discolouration to some of the cables (but NOT the Amiga - perfectly white.)
- The warranty seal on the bottom of the Amiga is broken (I assume to void the warranty.)
- Petro has not only signed the box, but also the Amiga. I would have preferred he hadn't personally, as I don't think it will come off :(
- It has obviously been moved around over the years, so don't expect the box and inserts to be perfect.

Overall, very happy with it though. Nice to open up a new Amiga for the first time since 1994 :)

More pictures pretty please!

I am thinking of buying this, where I live A1200s go for near the same amount used with slight yellowing ^^
I would just use the case tho, since I got a NOS keyboard and my internal parts are from a C= miggy.

Surely cheaper to Retr0bright your old case?

So I fired off an e-mail to  amiga1200magic@gmail.com about purchasing one of the magic packs. fingers crossed petro still has some left.
If some of the mooted hardware projects pan out then I could beef this a1200 up a lot. Anyone get a response from this e-mail address recently?

I could have sworn this one was a myth.
Like the one about Ozzy Osborne having a freezer full of Rorer Quaaludes stashed away somewhere.

Damn.

That IS neat.

Although Id REALLY like one or two of these -  I just cant buy another unexpanded Amiga, seeing there was so much debacle about getting timing fixes done etc to use Jens otherwise probably excellent ACA accellerators - Id much prefer to buy these from a reseller already checked and expanded !!! But I guess thats not going to happen .. I wonder though where the other Amigas have gone, this initial batch seemed to be only 60 ? Good Amigas should really not go to waste in this PC world ! I say buy em all Vesalia or someone else :-) And let them ease out into the market before everyone forgets about Amigas and only use tablets :-/

If he used a Sharpie or something similar to sign the case, then rubbing alcohol applied with a cotton ball or Q-tip might remove it.  If any of the ink is trapped in the embossed texture of the case, then using a alcohol and a soft tooth brush on it might get that out.
