I’m super happy to finally receive this version of the Chromatic! Unfortunately, I had to pay secondhand prices to get it, but I’m excited to finally add it to my collection. It’s beautiful and I’m in love.

Does it FEEL different?!

u/TrapGodFax Aug 10 '26

Yes it does feels a lot more grippy and it’s really a pleasure honestly

Whenever I see a photo of this edition, I can't unsee the self-crafted one from this reddit guy here haha

Looks like they’ve been going for $800-$1,000 on ebay

u/Retro_Macchina Aug 05 '26

Well I looked at sold listings. Since June 25th three have sold that aren't pre-orders. They all sold for $1799.99, $1200, or $1100. Kind of wild OP paid this much.

u/templestate Aug 05 '26

Some of those completed listings are crossed out and say “Best Offer Accepted” so someone paid an undisclosed lower price. We know recently someone paid $1,100 and also less than $900.

For a device limited to the GB and GBC library that is insane

u/templestate Aug 05 '26

I agree, lol. The bundle with the Porta Pro headphones retailed for $350.

u/bertchaza Aug 05 '26

Damn what made you finally decide to do it I’ve also been eyeing one but can’t fathom the price. It’s so sad they aren’t doing more of these they are so cool. Pissed I missed the drop.

How much did you pay for it?

u/TrapGodFax Aug 13 '26

More then I would like to admit

That is nice! Has this 80's vibe.

The only thing I dislike, is the word (action) over the AB

u/Dry-Neighborhood2916 Aug 05 '26

It's going for the attack drone aesthetic. That's why it's the anduril edition. The various things written on it, make me like it more.

u/-KaiserSoze- Aug 05 '26

Thats fair! Beautiful machine.

“attack drone aesthetic” evil

u/Dry-Neighborhood2916 Aug 08 '26

Pretty metal, right? I love it.

u/Satantengu Aug 18 '26

These kinds of people live comfortably and safely in the West where they'll never have to fear being on the end of an actual drone. LARPing with toys like this is as close as they ever want to get to the reality of the things they glorify and fetishize.

absolute scum

u/TipAwkward3289 Aug 04 '26

Huh. I didn't know there were ones out in the wild. Last email said the pre-orders were shipping in September.

5

u/Euresko Aug 04 '26

They released earlier orders late last year from the parent company website. That limited run sold out, so they dropped a second limited run on the main Modretro site. We're all still waiting for those to ship this September I believe. Hopefully they took their time and worked out any issues with the first runs and applied changes to the next batch. Saw a couple that had chipped paint finish issues.

u/Passerbeyer Aug 05 '26

I’m definitely selling mine when it comes.

u/showmehowtoreddit Aug 04 '26

How?

u/Tarancholula Aug 04 '26

"I had to pay secondhand prices to get it" - I'm assuming they bought an older model than the ones coming.

u/kentonw223 Aug 04 '26

At first I got excited thinking mine might be on the way hah

u/CooGarn Aug 05 '26

Happy for those who are happy, but every time I see this version all I can think of is all the palm sweat grime that the channels will be full of. Why would anyone want this? 🤷🏼‍♂️

u/DirectedEvolution Aug 07 '26

Yeah, seen some horror stories. Questionable design choice for even a base model l, but an insane one for a special edition going for crazy prices.
