My 7800 Cake

Mon Apr 8, 2013 12:50 AM

Many of you know that I'm partial to posting in the ColecoVision Forum, but that takes away nothing from my love and adoration of the Atari 7800 SuperSystem! I love my 7800, and I have a decent selection of NIB and loose carts, and a number of excellent homebrews from PacMan Plus. I also have a terrific set of the European Atari 7800 D-pad controllers, which I think are far superior to their U.S. counterparts. I also have an original 1984 unit (not EP), and it is registered in the official 7800 serial number thread.

So... I got married this last weekend! And what did my awesome wife surprise me with during our rehearsal dinner??? Check it out: I was absolutely flabbergasted!!

Intellivision II New in Opened Box

SOLD! - Limited run of Probe 2000 Replica Boxes

Wed Oct 3, 2012 7:52 PM

ALL GONE! Another run to take place soon. Thanks everyone!!

Hello Marketplace!

I have here a VERY limited run of Probe 2000 Authentic Replica boxes for the Colecovision enthusiasts—12 to be exact! These boxes are made of shimmering silver foil board and machine cut. Manuals are printed on high-quality glossy paper, cut, stapled, and folded by me.

Below are some preview pics.

To the first one dozen AA'ers that will shoot me a PM go the spoils. But do not fret if you get left out this time. I'm planning on doing another run, but I can't promise when. Things are busy for me nowadays, so I try to squeeze in what I can for the love of the hobby. The full package requires a bit of an arduous process to make, and materials (including the foil board) are not cheap, so for each of these I'm charging $24 which includes the box, manual, warranty card, and shipping.

Salud!
(oh, and there's a sneak preview in there of some of the other P2K boxes soon to come!)

Colecovision SLITHER boxes now posted in Marketplace

Thu Jul 12, 2012 12:38 PM

After many long months of arduous effort and care, SLITHER boxes have finally arrived!

Check out this post in Marketplace.

*NOW SHIPPING INTERNATIONALLY* SLITHER replica boxes for your Colecovision!

Thu Jul 12, 2012 12:35 PM

UPDATE (7/27/2012):

0 regular Slither boxes left! The remaining are the discounted perfectly good boxes with no perf or hang tab cutout.

UPDATE (7/26/2012):

International pricing is as follows:

$17 to Canada
$22 to France, Spain, UK/ROI/Crown Dependencies
SOLD OUT!

All other countries, send me a PM. I have to fill out a customs form at the Post Office for each box shipped, thus the delay for those around the world.

I have approximately 10 rotary-cut boxes that I did prior to obtaining my robotic cutter. These are just as beautiful as the regular boxes, but are missing:

a) perforation on inside-top flap and
b) hang-tab is not cut out.

If anyone would like to order these, I am knocking 30-33% off the going price, as these are considered irregular.

Irregular Boxes are as follows:

$10.00 to U.S.
$11.50 to Canada
$15.40 to France, Spain, UK/ROI/Crown Dependencies

Hello everybody!

After several long months of delay, they're finally here! Authentically-styled SLITHER boxes for your Colecovision collection!

These boxes are constructed of 100% heavy poster board and printed to 600 dpi laser-printing specifications. They are machine cut for precision and likeness that is true to the Coleco originals. Construction, design, and implementation done completely in-house and made in the U.S.A.!

I have 30  7 2 0 regular* boxes up for sale NOW, but I'm limiting purchases to 1 box per customer at this time. My goal is to produce more of these this summer —as well as a larger line of replica boxes, some seen in the past—after I've seen what type of demand there is. If all goes well, I'm considering getting a table at CGE 2012, where additional boxes would be sold.

As it stands, the first 30 people to PM me with requests will get a box shipped out within 2 days. PM must be received and replied to for confirmation of sale.

Fees have gone up a slight bit. Based on test-marketing, I've made several major improvements:
  • Heavy, glossy, U-V protective coating on every box
  • 100% re-drawn graphics @600 dpi
  • Quality Control has been majorly improved in printing, brightness, and construction
  • Machine-cut boxes and inserts for improved snugness of cart and manual
  • Factory correct fonts used on every side
  • Bar-coded with Colecovision's Slither/Roller Controller stock number
  • Restoration of "hang-tab" flap and perforated inside flap—true to factory likeness!
  • True-to-period design. Based on Coleco's 1983 design revision pertaining to the Roller Controller's debut!
Boxes for this special sale are $15 flat fee anywhere in the U.S. Due to major constraints with my current schedule, I cannot offer International Shipping at this time. I will be able to support International Shipping later this summer.

I want to give a special thank you to those AA members who provided me with feedback for this project. Hope to see some of you at CGE!
