Pixelboy #1301 Posted December 23, 2013 Does the bright light come from the glare from the shiny new nameplate that you waited for sooooo long? Actually, given everything that happened in Eduardo's life this past year, I think he gave up on fixing the nameplate issue and just went with the nameplates he had. ... or maybe not, I'm actually not sure. I'm looking at the nameplate on my SGM right now as I write this, and I really don't see anything wrong with it. So either the original nameplate was fine and Eduardo was just hallucinating, or he actually managed to get new nameplates printed. Well, I figure we'll know for sure eventually, right? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be great if Eduardo put that issue aside. Yes, this has been discussed among members here, and the consensus is exactly what you stated: The existing nameplates are just fine! When held up to the light and tilted at an angle, the "green hue" effect can be seen. If you don't see it at all, then you may have gotten a reprint! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiwi #1303 Posted December 24, 2013 Eduardo responded to my email and has indicated the second SGM wave is coming! "2nd run hasn't shipped yet, but will early next year"... Hurray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HARMIK #1304 Posted December 24, 2013 I hope Eduardo makes a ton of money off the eBay listings he deserves it for all his hard work. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ValkerieSilk #1305 Posted December 24, 2013 First one was a little over 600 bucks, 2 to go. I hope Eduardo makes a ton of money off the eBay listings he deserves it for all his hard work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixelboy #1306 Posted December 24, 2013 That would be great if Eduardo put that issue aside.

When held up to the light and tilted at an angle, the "green hue" effect can be seen. If you don't see it at all, then you may have gotten a reprint! I had a look at the nameplate on my SGM again under sunlight, and the "green hue" is visible. It's not as visible under an artificial light source, so that's why I missed it the first time I checked. So it seems I have an "original" nameplate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordiway #1307 Posted December 25, 2013 If you look at the clear one in the auction it has the green tint as well, but if you look at the picture of the black one in the same auction the one connected to the colecovision it has a very colorful nameplate that looks just like plate next to the expansion port.

Nognir #1311 Posted January 7, 2014 Great to read that there is some positive news. I haven't paid for an SGM yet, because I haven't got a reply of my interest email to Eduardo, but I'm hoping to get on the list as soon as possible. Still have a lot of SGM games I want to play Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smurfbert #1312 Posted January 18, 2014 I am little worried about mine, I believe I paid for it in nov/dec 2012, still have not received any confirmation for this, despite many emails to Eduardo. Well I am sure there is a reason for this nad my fingers are crossed that I will receive it soon then. Can't wait Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I am sure there is a reason for this nad my fingers are crossed that I will receive it soon then. Can't wait I also waited a long time, but Eduardo emailed me at 14th januari this year, and told me that the second batch will be shipped in april so glad that the SGM will come soon 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoctorTom #1318 Posted January 23, 2014 I also waited a long time, but Eduardo emailed me at 14th januari this year, and told me that the second batch will be shipped in april so glad that the SGM will come soon Great. But if this is all true, really Eduardo has no excuse not to drop in and let us know he's still committed to the folks on AtariAge who have supported him. It's extremely inconsiderate. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ghsqb #1320 Posted January 23, 2014 Eduardo, How about some news on my 2 SGMs that I paid for from the first run? Seems like you're getting going again, I'd appreciate an update. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scalpel #1321 Posted January 23, 2014 Eduardo, How about some news on my 2 SGMs that I paid for from the first run? Seems like you're getting going again, I'd appreciate an update. Same, same, same Could be great to receive them sooooon ^^ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SiLic0ne t0aD #1322 Posted January 23, 2014 DoctorTom, I couldn't agree more. I didn't realize how many people actually Paid for their SGM and did Not receive it yet.. That's unbelievable, no excuse for leaving customers hanging like that. . I would personally be pretty pissed if I was in there shoes and I can't afford to just have money floating around out there like that. I hope he bounces back and things get back to normal there.

racerx135 #1323 Posted January 23, 2014 I paid for second Run back in May. I am OK with the wait as long as it eventually comes. I waited over thirty for this so I can wait another year or so... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schuwalker #1324 Posted January 25, 2014 Great. But if this is all true, really Eduardo has no excuse not to drop in and let us know he's still committed to the folks on AtariAge who have supported him. It's extremely inconsiderate. I ordered from the first run as well. Initially, I opted to wait for the nameplate snafu he was encountering (don't know if that's still ongoing). When I first heard that people on here were getting their units; I emailed him and told him to bypass the nameplate issue and send me a unit - I received no reply. Again, I emailed him again, stating the latter, and nothing. From this thread, I understand he's having life issues. I am and still continue to support the guy by purchasing his products. BUT, not to receive any emails from him about my current order and apparently other users onhere are... irritating none the less. Eduardo, if you're reading this, please contact me via pm or email - I just wanna to able to play the damn thing.... :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vayu013 #1325 Posted January 25, 2014 I also payed for the first run and would like to receive mine, the nameplate doesn't matter anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
