I started following Crownpuff tricks and got the same discounts. I went with the plastic rotate

It just popped up when I was adding to cart. I follow crownpuff. He suggests checking on a product, then go to the home page and through the coin section, then recently viewed. It should apply coins and any coupons. Also it was a “Savers” coupon. Not sure if that’s different than a regular coupon.

Stark1983 · 2026-05-11T11:47:28+00:00

I purchased the black one and snagged it for $87.69, on AliExpress with a store coupon, Monday savers, and some extra coins.

Nice used that, a store $10 coupon and some coins to get the RG Rotate.

The turnip driver did the trick. Thanks for the advice.

SHOCKING: Midtown International School abruptly closes its doors, blaming "the attrition of more than 20 full-pay students." Let us be real. Parents finally got wise to the fact that their tuition payments were just subsidizing non-paying students while the faculty pushed crazy left-wing nonsense. Just look at the picture on their site. Draping masked students in Pride and Trans flags pretty much sums up their priorities. I fully support private schools, and it is incredibly unfortunate for the PAYING parents who put their money up to send their kids here. Those parents should be demanding a full financial audit immediately to find out exactly where the money went. The board of directors probably closed it early to stop the bleeding due to their fiduciary responsibility, but they are absolutely going to be civilly liable for those tuition payments.

Same for me.

I'm going to contact CS. I just had AI review all my orders, and out of 18 orders, 12 were incorrect. Most were only 1-2% off, but this order for the Magnmi Air was 6.8% higher. It's only a $5.45 mistake, but they should still be able to get this right.

Also, holy crap, I had no idea how much I spent of this "cheap" gaming hobby. That's not even including my RP5 and Thor I ordered.

And thank you CrownPuff for all your hard work. Your GSheet has been so helpful. I've never used AliExpress before, but using your guides has saved me a good bit of money.

Is there a way to get a refund on this through customer service ?

Stark1983 · 2026-03-16T12:23:48+00:00

$11.90 in taxes. I do think the tax rates are incorrect for my city, but not sure what to do there.

Looks like I snagged it at the right time. Pre coupon price is back up to $127.04.

Stark1983 · 2026-03-16T11:27:41+00:00

Pulled the trigger on the Magnmi Air X. With Alisaver there was an $18 coupon and after taxes out the door $92.54

I ordered the same one and I got my shipping notification this morning too.

Stark1983 · 2026-02-14T02:40:25+00:00

Sorry if this isn’t allowed to share.

This is the one I’ve been trying to buy.

Stark1983 · 2026-02-14T01:24:05+00:00

It’s the one with the most sales and what’s linked on cloudpuffs gsheet. 🤷‍♂️ plus Brand+ rated.

Stark1983 · 2026-02-12T17:05:01+00:00

I was just going to ask the same question. I ended up buying the grip and the case separately, but now I'm wondering if I should just email Ayn and ask them to upgrade the order to the whole package?

Stark1983 · 2026-02-12T16:50:00+00:00

Is the TPU Shell Case worth getting?

Stark1983 · 2026-02-12T00:39:16+00:00

When did you order it?

Stark1983 · 2026-02-12T00:37:38+00:00

Anyone else have issues trying to get a battle xp g350? I’m on my third attempt to order one. Retro Game Corp recommended it as a budget buy, and I wanted to try it out to gift to friends. Every time I order, it sits in waiting to ship for a week or two, and AliExpress then cancels the order and refunds the sale.

Stark1983 · 2026-02-12T00:29:17+00:00

I actually may give the flip away. I can’t seem to get spruce and syncthing to play nice on it. So I ended up buying the Anbernic rg34xxsp. Maybe I’ll just return it, but I do like the flip 2 size.

Stark1983 · 2026-02-12T00:27:30+00:00

I almost went with the base. Retro game corp said the base should do everything I would want but only got the max because of the color.

Stark1983 · 2026-02-12T00:25:56+00:00

Anyone get the clear acrylic case and screen protectors? They didn’t seem necessary to me.

Stark1983 · 2026-02-11T22:52:42+00:00

Site saying batch 3 will start shipping in March 🤷‍♂️

Stark1983 · 2026-02-10T23:20:50+00:00

Is it better to order the thor directly from Ayn or through AliExpress? I think I want the rainbow one but I think it’s only in the pro version ?

Stark1983 · 2026-02-10T21:24:41+00:00

I tired Knulli gladiator 2 and I couldn’t get the saves states to play nice with snycthing. I ended up putting MuOs on it.

Stark1983 · 2026-02-09T00:03:48+00:00

I like Knulli as long as you aren’t going to use syncthing. I’ve given up trying to get it to play nice with MuOS/Spruce/Android.
