Renesas is offering a promotion version of their RL78 microcontroller. This offer is only available to their Sample Component account holders, but the process for signing up for a sample account is pretty straightforward. (There may be EAR restrictions with this board.)
If you are looking for a powerful processor that is an alternative to PIC or AVR processors, this board might be worth a look.

I saw your post and signed up Wednesday morning and Thursday by lunch had my Promotion Board. Thanks for the find, I am excited to try it out!
