What’s really amazing about the Dragon’s Lair cabinet is the fact that on its Kickstarter, it gained support from 2,000 backers. I’m a younger person but I still have a ton of love for Don Bluth’s game and I can see that I’m not the only one. The Dragon’s Lair X RepliCade Mini Arcade Cabinet is available right now for $119.99 and the Asteroids X RepliCade Mini Arcade Cabinet for $119.99 will be available in the next month or so, with New Wave Toys claiming that it won’t ship until December 25th of this year. You can however jump on the mailing list to become aware of when the ordering goes live.
New Wave Toys also offers several other mini arcade cabinets such as Street Fighter II: Champion Edition X RepliCade, Tempest X RepliCade, and a Centipede X RepliCade.
