Where to buy a blue Micro Bit?

jesser2
jesser2 over 8 years ago

My brother, after attending a computing workshop in Sydney, came back with a micro bit which he was very happy with. It's his birthday soon, and earlier, he had suggested another micro bit, as to be able to use them in tandem, as something he would be interested in. Purely for aesthetic reasons (I think), he said he would like a blue one. But from what I can find, there's nowhere where I can find that you can specify the colour when you buy.

 

 

Does anyone know anywhere where I can buy one and specify the colour? Or would anyone have a blue one that they are willing to sell?

 

 

Regards, JesseR.

    Yeah, as I understand it, it's entirely random. The micro:bits aren't sold by colour (there are four, I think?). There's no difference in terms of function, or manufacturing, or iteration, though. All…

    Thanks all for your replies. Sounds like picking an individual one is not really viable, and perhaps my best options are to just get him a single unit, and he can like it or lump it, or get a pack of 10…

    Kind of makes me think of the Panini collectors stickers, where you'd buy packs in the hope that you'd get the last one you needed (and never did!) I remember trying for months to get a baby Ewok sticker…

    Thanks all for your replies. Sounds like picking an individual one is not really viable, and perhaps my best options are to just get him a single unit, and he can like it or lump it, or get a pack of 10 for $160 and assume that I might get a bluey in there.
