The preorder period for TheA1200 has been extended from June to December - but good news is this means Big W is now accepting preorders again, and they are $30 cheaper than everywhere else. gamesmen, EB, JB and Amazon are all selling for $299.
Delivery is free.
Who doesn't want a full size Amiga computer with working keyboard, mouse, HDMI output, and a bunch of games?

I dont think these will hold value (my Thec64's havent) but its not that expensive and I dont regret my pre-order.
NB I dont know why this is a deal, I paid this much in Feb for my preorder?

I had to ask ChatGPT to figure it out for me. “ShopBack has 10% cashback at the moment.” It’s annoying when people write in code..

Do these have a floppy drive? I have about 500 floppies out in the shed.

No it doesn't, and Amiga floppy drives had special hardware that doesn't exist in modern floppy drives.
AFAICT, the only way to get the files off Amiga-formatted floppies is to find a genuine Amiga that still works and has a working floppy drive.

Update: if you have a really old PC with a motherboard that supports two floppy drives, then you can use the second floppy drive with ADFREAD software running under windows, according to this webpage: https://www.winuae.net/download/
Search in that page for "adfread" to get the details.
There are other ways to read Amiga-formatted floppies, but they all require special hardware. Those methods are listed on this webpage: https://www.amigaforever.com/kb/13-118

There may be some enthusiasts on YouTube who would love you depending on what you have.
I wish I knew what happened to my Amiga and Collegovision.

The cashback shown is misleading. It's showing the cashback rates for BigW marketplace, this item is sold by BigW themselves.
The TopCashBack rate is currently shown as 4%, which is the BigW marketplace rate. BigW's cashback is 0.5%, considerably lower.

I ordered one last time.
Not 100% sure why, except I felt hard done by as a teen when I saw the cool things Amiga could do in the magazines.
I reckon these will hold value so it isn't a big risk if I don't fall in love with it.
And I do feel a bit FOMO if they end up selling out.
I probably wouldn't have put down the money on a passion project on Kickstarter, but I figure if it doesn't happen, Big W will be good for the refund.
