copeyhagen Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 has anyone ever seen such a display before? perhaps it was unique to ireland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 LOL, I didn't expect you to be from Ireland with your nickname.^^ I have no clue, let's wait for some of our local lynxologists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It is garbage and not worth anything, I will pay you to ship it to me Seriously though, I never saw anything like that here in the States. In fact I don't recall much retail presence at all of the Lynx here and certainly not any displays like that, although I could be wrong.

CGQuarterly Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Definitely collectable. Hard to put a value on though, for sure. Seems like it must be missing a piece, because something would have had to hold the Lynx in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Maybe they figured nobody would want to steal a Lynx. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitari Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Cool, maybe the store itself had it commissioned - great if it's official Atari though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copeyhagen Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 its official atari, it was from when i bought the lynx 2, maybe 1990? its not a find, i kept it all that time. there was 2 skinny black metal bars that clipped around the red part to hold the lynx, no thicker than coat hanger wire! i had a pain in my arse as a kid taking it out to change the carts so afaik they are long gone!
