They are using the name which I hold the copyright of for Video Games. Making a box for yourself is one thing, selling them is another. The photos of the game are a copyright violation on a commercial product. We have a box and a re-release planned with added levels, CIB. Now I say screw it, why bother. Someone made the "second" box. What bothers me is not even a curtesy message. The first time I see this is on eBay? He did say the Game was "Copyright 2018 by Intellivision INC" on the box. That pisses me off! That is an out right lie and endangers my claim to the IP. What this does was make protecting IP very difficult. If you don't defend your IP you lose it by law. Legal or not it is pretty slimy. I have three games ready to go. Now I kinda don't give a damn if I lose the $4000 development costs. I am happy I did not go to print. I'll have something only CMART has. LOL People's heads explode when orders are taken and THEIR money is tied up waiting for it. This pulls money out of my ability to release more games. Plain and simple. The market is really screwed up right now. Games sold piece meal. First ROM, then Cart, Then Box, then overlays and instructions. How can we keep up. Produce a real game if you want to do it, take the risk and make the investment, don't profit off the efforts of others. I would be afraid to release these new games as just a ROM as some asshole will just make carts out of it and make money. Yes I am pissed.

So mjarnold7 felt the need to make and sell boxes for Piggy Bank? Pretty cheesy on his part. This is not collecting, It is taking someone else work and making money on it. I asked the maker of the first box to please stop and he did. Now once again someone is doing it. I really hate this crap! If you want to contribute to the community, pay to get a game developed and make your own damn box for it. Don't take someone else's. The first time I've seen this was today on eBay. What the hell dude! This is wrong in so many ways. Intellivision Productions doesn't have a Copyright on Piggy Bank. I do! I have Three games I'm ready to release and I might just keep them as personal property. I find this kind of behavior very unsettling and takes the fun out of this for me. I have reported this to Ebay and am actually thinking of legal action. If you don't defend your IP it will be lost. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mattel-Intellivision-Homebrew-Video-Game-BOX-PIGGY-BANK-Box-Only/133049513404?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Df93b7c63c28548f1b039d5b689d5c079%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D133049513404%26itm%3D133049513404&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Adbe60e90-74e9-11e9-9951-74dbd1800b8c%7Cparentrq%3Aad75c4dc16a0ab6aa3ea7cc1ffd0c895%7Ciid%3A1

It always ends up at fun bags and ponies. You guys are just sick. I may hang out in the PRGE garage doing unsavory things for my collection, however you guys are just twisted!

Kool-Aid Man - another Intellivision first "A Product Placement in a video game." Kool-Aid Man was a cross marketing tool. They didn't pay for that, they were sort of paid to do it.

One box would hold more than one set...we are obsessive collectors...

Some people get all the nice things. LOL

Nice match then. I do love it when we geek out here.

Dumb and Dumber? :-)

Blue Sky Rangers? LOL

Looked like Cmart was in the running...not sure who the last guy was. (I could be wrong with that guess.)

$1500 bucks. OK who got it. I was out at $725.

Clearly the End of Days is near!

Sigh - I loved finding this prior to it's outing here. Now the odds of me affording it are very slim. It's already almost to my limit! Hopefully it will say in our community here so we can glean all the knowledge we can from it.

Hmmmm...what do we need in the collection.... Yeah, that Sealed CBS Turbo. LOL We can bring it to Portland.

Wow we finally have something pretty unique in the collection!!!

I have a bunch I want to dump as well. LOL

Rev packs it pretty good I hear.

CMart has helped many of us.

I have bought and resold games too. A good part of my collection was financed by buying two copies of some games when they came out. I don't do it any longer as I'm happy with my collection.

Thanks!

Anyone have an extra set of overlays for Flintstones? When I first started collecting I was a few years late to the home-brew revival and I know that David pieced together a few games for my son and I as best he could. In doing an inventory of what is now a kick ass Intellivision collection I noticed that I either never got the overlays or have misplaced them. I have things I can trade. Like Piggy Bank overlays...or various other things for them. Let me know.

NO! You discontinue it and come out with LTO Flash II! Sell 500 more.

Looks like an Oreo at the bottom. :-)

It might work better if tied to something like the LTO cart purchase. The first subscription comes with the LTO.
