Where to buy AIY Vision Kit UK?

[KanoMaster22]

I was just reading the Magpi and I am really want the AIY Vision Kit! However, where will I be able to buy the kit in the UK. The AIY Projects Voice Kit is only available for in-store pick up so I am presuming the Vision Kit will be the same. Even if it is available for delivery it will probably cost a fortune to ship it to the UK.

That kit is produced by Google, so you need to talk to them - the RPF won't be selling it AFAIK.

[KanoMaster22]

I have emailed the AIY Projects team and am currently waiting for a response. I will post the response on here.

It'll probably from the same place you can get the Voice kits.

I would guess Pimoroni probably will as a definite, they have a collaboration with the RainbowHAT.

[KanoMaster22]

Hopefully. It says there will be a limited first production run so that probably means we won't get any in the UK until a bigger production run happens.

Edit - The article actually says the first production run will be very limited.

[KanoMaster22]

Done some research and Micro Center don't ship to the UK! Seems strange that the product is being manufactured in USA when the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the Magpi and a large percentage of Raspberry Pi users are in the UK. Also, any idea why the first production run is very limited?

[bensimmo]

Probably to see how it goes.
The Voice was MagPi at the start, but also not fully EU working (for reasons mentioned in the Project book, but not at the initial release).
Maybe it's just easier with regards to licenses or they just make it over there and that AIY team is based over there.

Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see.

[KanoMaster22]

I expect it isn't a matter of if the AIY Projects Vision Kit will be sold in the UK, it it a matter of when. Hopefully, more information will be released shortly.

[KanoMaster22]

On the Magpi website you can sign up for a newsletter which will be sent to you when it is released and UK availability.

[bensimmo]

Not till after Easter though.

[KanoMaster22]

Where did you find out that? The next AIY Project will probably be out by then. Easter is aaaaaaaaaaages away.

I've got my in-laws scouring the US stores so they can bring me a belated Christmas present. I also did a bit of research and the accelerator looks to be the same as in the NCSM2450.DK. I did a bit of a search and Mouser seemed to be the best price at £61.66 ex VAT. I'd prefer to get it from pimorini but they didn't have this useful bit of kit.

Mmm, two articles now and nothing to buy. Even in the states by the look of things.

It doesn't go on sale in the US until the 29th of December (maybe a day or two later) when the pre-orders arrive at microcenter. as the 1st run was only a few thousand i'm not sure if you'll be able to pick one up if you didn't pre-order unless a few of the pre-orders aren't picked up and that'll depend on the store

That's off-topic. This thread is about getting that wee beastie here in Blighty, not in the Old Colonies.

that's because i forgot the part where i said "not until Easter or so i've heard for the uk"

[gisbert]

So, it's on amazon for 249,99 ...

I'll pass for now, a movidius ncs is a lot cheaper.

We are running a competition to give away 10 Vision Kits so enter that while you wait.

Google is producing more kits and they should be coming out in the next few months (fingers crossed). I can't give an exact price as I know they're juggling the exact components, but it won't be anywhere near that scalper price

competition to give away 10 Vision Kits? I am trying to find one in Germany or abroad and ship it but with no luck.

Which is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike mated with a chocolate fire guard for those of us over here in Rightpondia (aka Blighty).
