bennybingo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's difficult to say...some of my "rare" consoles are easy to find but expensive and some them are inexpensive, but difficult to find in the wild. Here are a few standouts: Telstar Combat! (CIB) Mattel Aquarius (CIB) Vectrex (CIB) TurboDuo (loose) Stunt Cycle (CIB) Bally Astrocade (CIB-white) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatefulGravey Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Like Benny said, some are rare because of the cost, some are rare because they are truely hard to find. I have a CIB Coleco Gemini that seems pretty rare in the "you don't see them" kind of way. In terms of things you find in the wild I have many rare items, and even more rare accessories.

ninjarabbit Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Game_Gear According to wiki the blue Game Gear was released in 1994 with World Series Baseball. All I know is that I paid $10 for it at Goodwill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Mine is a Pioneer LaserActive with the PAC-S10. I saw it for sale in a thrift for $160. I went back the following Monday knowing the price would be reduced with the full intent to buy it. I was through the door the second it opened and told them I wanted to buy it. They'd marked it down to $40! I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough. The person behind me was interested in it "as a video player for the kids" and another collector dropped in later that day. It's modded for S-Video output. I have the board assembled to mod my LA for RGB and the 32X, but I just haven't installed the board yet.
