The AYANEO KUN is an expensive beast, with the lowest spec model costing $999 even when discounted. So I’m sure people were a little disappointed when their shipments didn’t arrive at the estimated date.
To soften the blow, AYANEO is offering a small upgrade for backers who bought the AYANEO KUN before December 15th, 2023. Instead of the standard storage bag, backers will be upgraded to the exclusive AYANEO x Tomtoc Storage Bag, valued at $32.90.
Here’s a direct quote from the update on AYANEO’s IGG page regarding the delay:
Unfortunately, we have encountered a delay in the shipment of certain models of AYANEO KUN, and we understand that this has caused inconvenience for our valued backers. To express our gratitude for your understanding and to make up for the waiting time, we have decided to offer a special compensation.
Effective immediately, we are replacing the KUN black customized bag in the gift with the AYANEO x Tomtoc Storage (valued at 32.9USD) for free.
This exclusive offer is extended to backers who placed their orders before December 15, 2023. If you fall under this category, you are eligible for the complimentary AYANEO x Tomtoc Storage as a token of our appreciation for your early support.

While he didn’t have a photo of it, and couldn’t take one yet, I did find a very small photo that shows off the white design:
