Videogamecollector123 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I think it's between my Vectrex and Virtual boy, certainly the two most expensive systems I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovethevectrex Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 I think it's between my Vectrex and Virtual boy, certainly the two most expensive systems I have. well they are both rare, but the vectrex is FOR SURE better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segagamer99 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I think it's between my Vectrex and Virtual boy, certainly the two most expensive systems I have. Virtual Boy isn't really THAT rare. Games can be found pretty cheaply even on eBay. Though I would like to get one someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovethevectrex Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 acording to wikipedia, 770,000 were sold. that not alot if you ask me not saying its nesesarally "rare", but its not the most common thing in the world lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game-Tech.US Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 acording to wikipedia, 770,000 were sold. Really?!?! Hmmm, there were around 610,000 nes top loaders made and I see a couple dozen or more a week sell on ebay, but I doubt that many VB's go up, maybe a lot of them were trashed due to ppl not liking the interface.

Reaperman Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) This guy's a pretty odd one in my collection. And yes, that is a Big Lots sticker on this Russian-Chinese oddity. Too bad it didn't come with US plug. I'm going to guess that it's SECAM, which I can't display, and there's a fair chance that it's wireless RF signal is actually an attempt at population sterilization anyway.

ilovethevectrex Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 You know, they found a whole bunch of unsold Virtual Boys in Saudi Arabia really??? i didnt know about this! how many were there? also, i hope the same things happen with the buried carts of et even though thats not such a good game lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbalion Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I would have to say my rarest console is an original Odyssey I found at a flea market years ago for $15. Has the bottom of the box and I think all the overlays with it. It worked several years back when I tested it, but it is very primitive. I even have the 'cartridges' with it.

Austin Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 acording to wikipedia, 770,000 were sold. that not alot if you ask me not saying its nesesarally "rare", but its not the most common thing in the world lol That's just over three times the amount of Atari Jaguars that were sold. Funny how the VB sold much more, but only had a fraction of the library. Kind of a shame actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr0st Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm not sure if it's overly rare, but my all black Atari 2600 Jr. They don't seem to pop up too often. There's a pic of it in my thread in the ''my collection" section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number six Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Really?!?! Hmmm, there were around 610,000 nes top loaders made and I see a couple dozen or more a week sell on ebay, but I doubt that many VB's go up, maybe a lot of them were trashed due to ppl not liking the interface. Funny thing is you couldn't give Virtual Boys away back in the day. There was a rush for them when Nintendo gave up on the system (which was pretty early on). Blockbuster liquidated all their rental units for cheap which included the big plastic carrying case they rented them in (i tried to get one but missed out). I can't remember how much I paid for mine but it wasn't a lot. A few months later they were down to $30 at places like Software Etc. Our local store had a stack and took them months to sell at that price. I thought about getting a 2nd to keep sealed but never did (d'oh!) From what I recall the top loading Nintendo was in and out quicker in the stores but of course now years later its not the original popularity its the production numbers that count. Obviously they didn't make too many VBs and I guess many of them got discarded/destroyed/whatever as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorf68 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Well there is the Vectrex and I have a first-version Lynx (don't think a lot of the 'Big-Lynx' systems were made/sold), on the newer side I've also got a first run raspberry PI and an OnLive TV box I do have an old-style 40/80 BBC double disk Cumana 5" floppy disk drive... if that counts? I also still have the BBC cub monitor, which is now permanently attached to my Amiga How rare is the first version of the Game.con handheld console? How about the pokiman Picachu version of the N64? Probably my rarest (but by no means the most collectable/expensive) thing is my Telling Colour Stars TV games system. I think I was 11 or 12 when I got that. Never did get all the cartridges though!
