Now before you get too excited, the R-KAID-R is a very pricey toy, starting at €2499.00/$2,799.00 with the possibility of purchasing a custom bag and a game library starter kit. As these are custom jobs, they are exclusivity numbered and made to order and customizable.
I’m sure that won’t deter a number of hardcore hipsters though! Expect to see the R-KAID-R gracing your local cafe soon. If however you don’t have a trust fund from mommy and daddy dearest, you can always ‘slum it’ and check out the Retron 5.
