Thanks for the link. Even though I don't understand everything (as it's in Spanish), it's still interesting to watch. The machine(s) themselves look nice, apart from the colouring. ????
According to the reviewer the cases have minor blemishes and the blue case is of a slighty better quality in comparison to the black one. He also states that the real thing looks better than any picture or video of it (which is good).
How come they have delivered 50 units, and we still have not heard from anyone about a test ?
I did see some unboxing video.
But 50 units shipped doesn't mean 50 units received, especially these days with Covid and Christmas. And people might also have some other stuff to do with Christmas, like family time and stuff.
Don't worry... The reviews will come. I don't doubt that. And I'm very curious as well..
I also want to see a proper test/review video of what it can do. But I don't need a drop test (dropping it off a building is too much, if you must just drop off a desk height), don't need a full tear down (if you must, just the case opened with views of inside), and don't need a scratch test with a knife (just touch and explain the material).
Well, I have received ... my delivery status number: 221.
Which should put me in for actual delivery in late february.
They are producing the MSXVR at the rate of 20 units/week, according to the info here : https://msxvr.com/en/status/
Well, it seems they are struggling to keep the rate of delivery. Because they removed the schedule, and they are now at number 110 as last VR shipped. Instead, they should have been around number 180, now.

Same question asked again, now with 110 units delivered.
How come not a single video of testing the VR ?
Well, I've seen an unboxing and several posts/photos from people who have received the machine. But not everyone is a reviewer I guess. I'm also interested in seeing reviews.
As for them getting a bit behind on schedule: it doesn't really surprised me. They have underestimated the project quite a bit. On the other hand, it's a very very impressive project. Probably the biggest one in recent MSX history.
What I understood from the latest video is that with the machines in people’s hands there are a lot of bugs/issues/questions posted. Addressing all these is taking a lot of time that cannot be spend on finishing the machines. Every week they are pushing out new software release (named after RC7XX Konami games). In a way this can be considered a public beta so by the time we get the machines a lot of these issues will have been ironed out. Surely we’ll still need some time adjusting to these machines. For example powering them off/on is a different experience to what we are used to on MSX machines, even FPGA ones. It is more like powering down your modern PC, which you don’t do every time you want to start a different game or ‘configuration’.
