That sounds great, thank you!

Hm, so I am not 100% sure if I get it right: If I have a cart I could get the rest next year, so far so good, but because the carts are not longer sold: Will there be a complete version post Portland available? Because I have no cart and if the train left the station to get my hands on a boxed copy it would be a bit sad.

Got the game today, but I was just able to start it a bit, not really getting how to play it. It really looks amazing, many nice graphics and even animated fire!

The problem is: I dont want to spend money on shipping for a cart and again money on shipping the box. So I would definitely buy a CiB Copy of TNT Cowboy and probably also of the other two games (but just 90%). If Elektronite would say definitely "there are no boxes" and that would stand as a final word I also would buy a cart only, better than nothing, but I really would appreciate a boxed version. The situation is pretty unlucky for both sides: You are waiting for sales and I am waiting on a final word about the future of the stuff and I am really not comfortable with buying my games in pieces. Importing stuff costs money, time and risk of damage every time. It would be great if there would be a better solution, so maybe... pre orders? I totally get why sellers are not very happy with that, but Elektronite made its name as trustable, so for me the situation is completely different and as a customer I would prefer a CiB pre order instead of buying in chunks. Edit: And to be honest: If the "final word" would say "no boxes", I buy the game and out of nowhere there would be boxes, because the game sold well, I would also not be happy with it, because of all the reasons above I rather have a clear and honest information than getting wrong information to get me into buying someting.

I am not a native speaker, 12pm is noon or midnight?

What about a CiB Release?

This is the Key-Sentence. No secondary market needed, just patience. Its okay for me to wait, I have no Facebook, so I hope I get the news in time next time.

I am confused, is this just the first batch and more are coming later, or is the sale done with 35 copies?

Not interessted. I dont think Intellivision Sounds are that good to stand alone as a nice music. But thats just my opinion, make a limited release with serials and you sure find some buyers.

What would a working Proto-Cart cost?

Got my three games today, thank you very much! Short question about the silver sticker ob the back: Is that the serial? All of my games say "BSR-120", so I have #120 for each of them? I am not sure if that is the correct interpretation, because it was the first batch and as far as I know it was a lot less then 120 copies ^^

Funny Idea: If you write in your "PM sent" message the stuff you are interessted in it would be obvious for everybody what a PM is useful for and what is already gone away

I think the only legitimate games are the ones that came with your console, so the games that were bundled. All the rest is just not the real deal and completely fake

Not original, just released by the copyright holders and licensed. Wait... I wonder why we call anything Post Mattel original then, may we should shrink the official collection just to the Mattel branded games. Edit: The funny part is: If the BSR would have released that stuff in the mid 90s, before the whole "platinum club" became a thing, everyone here would say "yay, re-release, just like many other games" and we would talk about 127 official releases at least.

May 60th of June?

I guess its too late to worry, but still I doubt it will be taken care of. So Game Factory just stays a not working piece of plastic in my shelf. Deal, as a serious collector I dont care of the stuff is actually working or not :D

Ask them. But its very good that its Spiker and not Blix, because Spiker is an actual good game and I own it, so my whole point of view has a better ground and doesnt looks like I am trying to legitimate my collection And I am collector and gamer, I dont really care for ROM only releases (so I hope TNT gets a CiB release). As far as I remember our paths crossed already in the HSC area some years ago. So you may have noticed that I am not just interessted in more boxes for my shelf. That is the reason why I stopped to buy all homebrews, because more and more of them just are not good. Rushed out, low quality control. But its fine, because most people dont actual play the games they are paying for, so why bother into making them good.

Yet again your "serious collector" is wrong and arrogant, but the second part is true at least. While I dont know about the licenses for the mentioned games, at least Deep Pockets and King of the Mountain have to be bought in the official version to be in a full set. And if the others are licensed its true for them as well. And here the bummer: Blix. Wasnt that from the BSRs? If yes, there is a very small limit for people who can get a real full set. But its sad that instead of joy about the release of a much overpriced game its just more sad try to protect the status of be something special for owning a old copy. Yeah, feel free to think so, but you will never be the authority to determine who a serious collector is and who not. But to be honest: I never expeted anything else, most of the so called "serious collectors" do not even care about the game, they just buy it for display.

Yes and no. In this case its not even a definition thing, its just a fact: The Re-Release is licensed and official. There is no discussion about that. Its pretty disrespectful towards BSR if you pretend its less worth or not a real deal. It is a real deal, deal with it if you have a 1k bucks game in the shelf which you could have get for a lot less now Personally I hope the price of Spiker plummets.

Fun fact: If you dont count Re-Releases you have no complete collection of you have Super Series Big League Baseball as your only variation of the game. I think that underlines why this makes no sense. Edit: And as I said some time ago: The official and legitimate Re-Release of Spiker will be MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more rare than the Release back then. So as a real collector I like rare things more than expensive things. And please dont forget, I own the old Spiker, so I am not biased to be a "real" collector with the Re-Release, nor I am considering to trade the old for the new one, I will put both in my shelf.

Thats just your opinion and I dont think you are the collectors authority. For me statements like that are elitist nonsense. @Intymike I really dont care and if I read here that some people really try to exclude Intellivision Inc versions the whole "real collector" thing reached a new level of ridiculousness

If we count out Re-Releases, I wonder how many Platinum Member would be left, because some may (I am for sure) have the 125 with INTV Inc versions and they are also Re-Releases.

If its too hot my try a ride on the Arctic Bus!

Die busiest game in deserts there is!

Hopefully its not there out of nowhere with a time frame of maybe a day to order ^^ If its open for order for a month its all I need to be sure to get them.
