I got two e-mails from DHL today, one was a refund for the double billing on duties for that other package.
And the other was that my Pi Foundation Package is out for delivery today.
Pi Foundation stuff just arrived. I got a Pi 4B 8 gig which is worth a little more than the Pi 400 was, so that alone gets me back in the green cost wise with all the duty etc this whole episode has cost me. That was one thing I was actually hoping they would send me.
Also got 4 Pi Pico's, a Pi Zero W, and the Getting started book for the Pico.
Great, Your Pi cruising now . enjoy

Just finished soldering the headers on the Pico's. I'll have 3 more when the Pimoroni order arrives, lol I'll have 8 total. More than I need at the moment for sure. No having to swap them around though, I can just dedicate one to each Pico Pack I have and leave one in a solderless breadboard.
Flashed one with the Adafruit Circuit Python uf2. One with the Pi Foundation Micro Python. And one with the Pimoroni Micro Python.
I'll end up with 2 or 3 with the Pimoroni Micro Python. I have an Omnibus, Display Pack, and the Explorer pack on the way. I also want to get the Pico Breakout garden at some point. I would have got that instead of the explorer if it had been in stock and not listed as coming soon. I'm going to run out of headers, lol. Not a big deal, I have more Pico's than I know what to do with.I'll just add some to my next order.
I'll go with this though, as its a lot cheaper than the ones for the Pico.

I might give this a go. Minus the MQTT stuff. I have all the rest on hand.
