PlayPower hardware sold in electronics kit (diy), i'd love to buy it
it seems PlayPower is only available to be acquired built and ready to use, but people like me, which loves to build (soldering) all electronic pieces from a kit, like Sinclair sold their ZX80 and ZX81 computers, would love to buy it as electronic kit (with a manual to easily follow, with schemes, diagrams and photos, for soldering newbies), and surelly not only it would be a very didactic choice - this would be an awesome, and even maybe cheaper than the 10usd choice, since there is no handwork involved on mounting it, which material would be excellent for schools, hacklabs and hobbysts - i'd buy it imediatelly as soon i see it on sale! :)

Evidently, you can no longer get the kit without paying exorbitant shipping. A sad day for all.

I mean the pre-assmbled version when I say 'kit'.

There is...that is, if you read Mandarin. taobao.com
I tried an english to Mandarin translator for "8-bit computer" and got hundreds of calculators. Basically, I have no idea what to search for. Good luck.

I found this site that seems to sell some Victor models, some hand helds too but I'm not sure what they are.
