If you cast your mind back a few months to the expected release date of the Evercade EXP Limited Edition you may recall that a massive batch of the devices was stolen.
While European and overseas preorder buyers received their devices for Christmas, UK buyers did not. We understand from Blaze that police are involved, so it’s tricky to write in detail on this topic.
However, you should be aware that stolen black Evercade EXP consoles are appearing to buy online, most recently Facebook Marketplace. These have been spotted by members of the Evercade Fans Facebook page (private group).
Concerningly, the uploader of the black Evercade EXP spotted on this occasion used a mobile screenshot of our report of Blaze’s plan for replacements to illustrate the sale item. Frankly, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry…
When challenged by a member of the Facebook group, the seller (whose name we have obscured for legal reasons) became defensive and deflective. Not a good look at all.
As a quick reminder, this stock was stolen in December, items heading for shipment that had been pre-ordered several months earlier. Not only were they black (to differentiate from the standard release white models) but these EXPs were also set to ship alongside limited edition items and an additional game cartridge.
In short, it was a heinous, opportunisitic hold up that left a lot of people in the retro gaming community disappointed right before Christmas.
If you spot any black Evercade EXPs for sale on eBay or Facebook Marketplace, please do the right thing.
