I like the look of this one. Was the one you received still running Android 5.1? Can it receive OTA updates?

Did you buy from the EU warehouse or China?

Assume you mean 21 each, judging by the price it is now haha

I used the China warehouse, hence my surprise on how soon it arrived. Yep, 21 each. Its under the threshold for which customs will be charged so no need for EU warehouse.

It's the remote with blue buttons, actually a great remote, much better than the usual remote.

Yes a Uk plug.

I recommended the seller as I was got them off a Facebook group and it's verified as a genuine box

Closing this thread as this turned out not to be a bargain. Lots of discussions on these boxes over at the Android forum if you want to carry on the discussion.
