Early-bird: It's here! The Full-Size LEGO C64!
Added 2018-10-20 05:37:56 +0000 UTCPatient Patrons,
Happy Friday night! Thanks for standing by whilst I put into practice the "quality over quantity" era here in the RR kitchen. And this is the result... Please meet our very own Commodore Brixty-Four! A brand new & open source addition to the global retro community.
Click >here< for your early-bird video!
2 weeks solid 'work' (well playing with LEGO) and some late nights later, what could be more retro than our favourite childhood computer meshed with our favourite childhood (but oh so versa-tile) building material!?
This video will go live on Sunday under a new YouTube "Premieres" feature our little channel is testing. You'll be able to watch live with others when it premieres, and chat along with them and me. This will be the premiere link - if you want to join the chat just click it to see your local premiere time and to set a reminder: https://youtu.be/YZelXhbmQng. In the meantime you can still watch right now with your early access pass at the top of this post :)
And feel free to retweet this tweet to help generate some buzz!
I'd love to know what you think in the comments below, and truly hope it was worth the wait... and is worth its weight in old. ๐๐น
Your friend in retro, Perifractic

Thanks for voting! I've shared it in a few places but it's nice when things happen organically. We'll see what happens before part 2! Of course feel free to share with said sites/channels though! ๐๐น๏ธ

2018-10-23 21:06:18 +0000 UTCPerfect! Just provided support on the Lego Ideas site too ๐น๐๐ป ๐ Perhaps you want to reach out to AFOL sites and Youtube channels once you have finished the 2nd video? (to create more momentum and reach the 10.000 supporters mark ideally). Of couse this requires even more work but it would be really nice if a big AFOL channel / site picks this up and starts the positive๐ฅ๐โญ๏ธ
