brand in western shops Geeone / NXEDC (Pangolin)
Red and black cube pusher with brass-tone hazard stripe inlays, fake screws, grilles and button textures, Kaneda's bike shrunk into a block. The Red Drive Bay is the storage base for it, and pressing the bay launches the pusher out with a clean snap, so the base is a fidget on its own. Geeone shot the launch video and had the set listed as 'Y2k Disk Red + Stand' at $235.90 on August 22, ten days before the Chinese announcement, shipping September 20. Same body as the Y2k Disk, red build.
