King_Salamon Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Looks like I missed on the first 30 Track and Field. I hope I am on the list for one the the next 20 with controller! Fingers crossed No need to cross your fingers, rpgcollector. I will not be working on a first-come-first-served basis for the next batch of Track & Field carts, like I did for the first 30 copies. If you're on my list for the next batch then you're guaranteed to get a copy. In your case, I can even guarantee that you'll get an Atari 2600 T&F controller to go with it. You have my word. Here's to hoping that I managed to get on board for the next batch with controller... always wanted to try one of those controllers on a home console. Fingers crossed.

Pixelboy Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Here's to hoping that I managed to get on board for the next batch with controller... Yes you did, King. As I write this post, of the 20 copies of T&F of the next batch that will come with a pack-in controller, 10 are already reserved, and 10 are still available. For the 10 copies currently reserved, two customers have stated that having the pack-in controller is not all that important to them, so there's some room for me to manoeuver. Also, I'm down to 3 available copies of Pitfall II Arcade, by the way, and many people that I contacted yesterday still haven't manifested themselves... I guess it's a good thing that another 50 copies will come along in February/March. And as for Destructor SCE, I'm down to 17 available copies (out of 50 total). I'm not certain at this point if I'll make any more copies of that one afterwards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Awesome! Thanks for the update Pixelboy! How's Girl's Garden and Gulkave doing?

Pixelboy Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Awesome! Thanks for the update Pixelboy! How's Girl's Garden and Gulkave doing? I imagine there must be a ton of people who've been waiting for Gulkave! ME included! Gulkave is selling as expected, but I made too many copies of that game, hence the lower selling price. Girl's Garden is not doing so well. I think many people are passing over Girl's Garden because it looks cute and easy, and it is in the early levels, but it's also a fun game. It's like saying you don't want to buy Pac-Man because it's just a yellow "thing" moving in a maze with colored ghosts chasing it. There's more game there than meets the eye. I wish people could look past Girl's Garden's cute looks and see it for what it is, which is fun. It's a more immersive gaming experience than Cabbage Patch Kids - Adventure in the Park, for example, just to give you an idea. sounds like your'e doing a sterling service there pixelboy, the coleco community needs people like you, and would be a poorer place without you KUTGW pixelboy Just doing the best I can.

Pixelboy Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 First Track & Field, now Pitfall II Arcade: As of right now, all available copies of Pitfall II Arcade are tied up with confirmed orders. I'm going to have to start taking pre-orders for the next run of Pitfall II Arcade copies which, like Track & Field, will come next February or March.

Just think, it's only the 27th of December too! Wait until others start getting messages as they may be away on vacation etc. Dang it, I hope your post office clerk is a good looking person because you're going to be spending a lot of time there!

Wait until others start getting messages as they may be away on vacation etc. Dang it, I hope your post office clerk is a good looking person because you're going to be spending a lot of time there! Are you kidding? I'm already on a first-name basis with the ladies who work at the post office near my company building. I'm down to 14 available copies of Destructor SCE, and as of right now, all 20 "future" copies of Track & Field with Atari 2600 T&F controller already have a name attached to them. Three of those customers have stated that the pack-in controller is not important to them. Wow, all that in just two days! I just spent the entire evening just placing styrofoam inserts, manuals and cartridges inside boxes, and I'm not even done yet! It's definately a lot of work for a single guy...

I will upload those pics tonight, in order to complete the work on the web site. Me too! I'm anxious to see the pics of these beauties! I can only imagine that they look as awesome as the other games! On a different note... what would be the way to abbreviate your companies titles... we can't use PB seeing as Parker Bros has that one. Perhaps PIX? Just thinking out loud here... lol. Gulkave (PIX) Looks good to me! As for the time it takes you to get orders ready... no rush. It's better to take some time and make it right rather than rushing and having mistakes. But I would think you would want to assemble 10 of each title and fill the first 10 orders... then build a few more copies to get back to 10 of each and fill the next 10 orders. That way, you can move some stock out the door. I can't imagine you have room to spare to have 300 boxed games stacked up. My money will be ready when you are my man! This is quite exciting though... never thought I'd see 6 titles released at once... it's like we're back in the 80's! woo-hoo!! The 80's rocked!

ColecoDan Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Yeah but in the 80's my mom would have told me I had to wait for next christmas or my birthday and I would have ended up with maybe 1 of these games with my own money.

Now I just say YES PLEASE MAY I BUY ANOTHER I guess I was a little more lucky... I usually ended up with a game a month... but they were usually less than $20. I bought my Coleco with my own money back then... it was a good feeling. I got the Steering wheel and roller controllers for Christmas of 83 or 84? Not sure... only reason I got them was because the crash happened and/or a store downtown was going out of business and my parents saw them and they were CHEAP! (I think $10 each... likely less... 7.99 or something crazy). But I agree... now I just say, keep em coming!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
