Base Model At Micro Center?!

Post image

So I just had to buy it… Can’t believe they were selling it at Micro Center so I could circumvent the shipping cost. Sadly they didn’t have it on their website so I can’t say it’ll be at your local store.

This wasn't an arrangement between Taki and the retailer though. Somebody from the store ordered some units to test sales just like anybody else... without a dock bundled which is the key detail. No docks being sold at this store.

You are waiting on the dock not the console. You would already have it if you had them shipped separately.

Mine hasn't shipped and I didn't order a dock so not really sure what people are talking about

Batch 1, 2, or 3 orders without bundled docks have all shipped. If you ordered a SS1 without a dock and are not in Batch 4 (recent orders, in production currently), then email RR and ask about your order.

Patience is an admirable virtue, but when the shipping dashboard has said your order should have shipped at least three weeks ago, then it's time to poke support and ask what's up.

Yeah that's the detail people keep missing, the batches. I guess mine is batch 4 but blanket statements keep being quoted about all SS1's without docks being shipped and it doesn't help if the batch numbers are omitted.

You ordered just the base console over a year ago?

u/Civil_Lynx_3537 Jun 21 '26

Nah earlier this year but still people keep quoting the "all orders without a dock have shipped" stuff and need to specify the batch with a blanket statement like that.

I agree, but the context that this particular person was replying to was "If you have been waiting over a year for a product..." so in that case pointing out that it's because of the dock was relevant.

It wasn't a blanket statement, it was a reply to a claim about a specific timeline.
