Thanks everyone for liking and sharing the #RC2014 Mini II Picasso toot yesterday.
To answer some of your questions - Yes, it really is a real kit. There's no camera trickery, or photoshopping and definitely no AI slop. And, yes, the discount code was also real as a few of you found out. Some kits shipped yesterday, the others will go out today.

The latest version of RomWBW, 3.6.0 is finally out of beta and is now an official release. https://github.com/wwarthen/RomWBW/releases
This version has a lot of #RC2014 support, which the RC2014 Zed Pro II and RC2014 Zed II will make use of. Although it might take me a day or two to make those available on z80kits
Tonight's attempted stunt was a failure. I was going to boot my Idun cartridge and interface with my #RC2014 with my #C64U.
There is some arch-ish breakage with the default Idun image where it will happily install bins, but not check dependencies. Fixing this with a pacman -Syu to sync everything up breaks the C64 interaction (sort of the whole point).
It would be nice if the creator posted build instructions so adventurous users could update the RPi's arch linux. There's open bugs about how programs like tmux are broken in similar ways.
