+Rick Reynolds Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Oh man, leave it to Paul to start some drama at my expense!! I have three repro boxes: LF2, Spiker, Congo Bongo. If you want to drop me to a lower level, I won't be offended. For the record PAUL, I've been up front about these boxes from the beginning!!!

wolfy62 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Just my 2 cents, but repro boxes should certainly place anyone at the gold level not platinum Isn't that the main difference between the two anyway? My best friend is 10 games short of a complete collection and repro boxes are his best bet.I get that, this gets expensive!With that being said...... Anyone who posts there collection knows what is in it, so it really comes down to personal accountability, pride in your collection and being true to yourself. Just my thoughts....and who really knows if the repro boxes or regular boxes actually have a cartridge in them as well?That is up to the person submitting there collection. Be proud of your collecting, love it for the love of the games and the great work and time you spent for the end results.On another note, I love Flapee Bird....simple yet so addicting!

wolfy62 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I just looked at the Intellivision website and if you have all games boxed and complete, you are in the 125 Platininum club. No mention of needing original boxes. With that being said, are there any gold members who would like to be upgraded? Or to get into the Platinum club I highly recommend seeking out the two sets of repro boxes and whatever cartridges you need! best to all of you!

Rev Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yeah, i dont remember what the discussion was in a thread about the 125 in relation to repro boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I vote that repros don't count for Platinum. We need a special place for those with complete and all original. Demotions all around, I say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Doesn't matter much to me. Most repro box Platinum folks are forthcoming about saying they have the repro boxes. This mostly eliminates the need for semi-Platinum vs uber-Platinum. The only time the repro boxes really matter is when you buy or sell them.

+cmart604 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm pretty sure we talked about this at one point. Platinum should be all original. Gold for 125 without original bits and pieces 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Once LTO Flash! is released, I'll be part of the 125 Bismuth club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 In this case its not as easy I think. Spiker in a sealed bag is how it was sold back then and if you consider that you cant really call his version incomplete. Of course the case becomes easy if we count LF and Congo Bongo, so its a Gold Member. But if these two would be original and the Spiker in a bag I would say its platinum.

+cmart604 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Nope. I disagree. CIB was available so the CIB version is what should be needed. The idea is to recognize the ultimate accomplishment in Inty collecting. Not that the bagged Spiker isn't cool, it's one of my favourite items.

wolfy62 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I am torn on this too though.......Spiker bagged? Ahhhhhhhh......that is probably the same as and possibly more rare than CIB. It should count. It is complete as issued and as rare as the boxed version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion I am only 1 of us here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 My opinion is no to repro boxes in platinum. That means I'll never make platinum (I've really got to get my submission in for gold....just no time) but so be it. A repro box for Spiker is much more readily available than a real box so why would platinum be granted? As far as bagged goes, I still say you need the box. It was issued with box at the time so a box should be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I would add diamond, but I wont change the rules for platinum. Diamond is when you are a platinum member and on top you own something cmart does not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 We had this discussion before. The platinum level was especially added for those who own the complete original 125. The still very good Gold level is for those who aren't that lucky to arrive on the collectors ground when the top notch games were still more affordable.
