Sears TELE-GAMES Overlay set (purchase intent)

What is the plan for releasing the set? Not a exact date, I just want to know if this year or maybe 2014.

For those that don't know, I'm working on a homebrew project that can be seen here:

 

Sears TELE-GAMES INTV (new) Overlay set

 

There seems to be a lot more interest in this than I antisipated. Because of that I need to get a better gauge of how many people really want this collection (this is NOT an official order taking). This poll is merely to gauge intent of purchase.

 

The collection will come in a box that is the same size as an Intellivision game box. In the box will be 60 overlays, 30 cart labels, and one instruction booklet. Here's a picture of the box:

Keep in mind that the price of this homebrew product is going to be $75.00 (US) per set plus s/h. Please do not over inflate your intentions.

 

there is a typo: "include the the standard intellivision overlays"

Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately at this point I'm too far in to change it. It will have to stay that way. Think of it as a beauty mark.

In for one please.

Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder. So, you either redo the entire batch from scratch, and do it right, or you buy us all a round.

I'm in for my 4 or possibly 5 copies, assuming there are enough.

[Certifiable]

I'd like a couple of sets if there's enough to go around-

Great job on these, I am in for 2 sets as I have a friend who collects as well thank you, Dale W. 125 CIB member.

[wolfy62]

And by the way, the typo is ok!

 

 

If I wanted perfection, I wouldn't collect the Intellivision!

[JasonlikesINTV]

No worries on the typo. It's character It's too bad they're not split over two separate lines, most people would miss it.

[maximebeauvais]

In for 1. I will put my vote

To me it's just an homage to one of my favourite bands from the 80's.

Wait, what did you fix?

tsk tsk.

You know what? I just looked closely at the box again and man it's fantastic looking.

 

Phil, you've absolutely nailed the style and feel of the Sears boxes and I find it so cool that one of the random forum chats we have here got turned into such an awesome addition to the Intellivision collectibles library.

 

Five years from now people new to collecting for the Intv will be stumbling over themselves trying to track down a copy just like with the Orphan Overlays and the early homebrews releases.

 

I just hope the success of this project will encourage you to fill some other gaps in the Intellivision overlays library staring with my oft requested CBS/Coleco versions. Their are so many variations of the boxes that this too could likely be a 30 odd overlay set.

I never actually looked at the typo....lol. It is spread across two lines

Cmart, get off the jock bro, its embarrasing!

_{2 for me, same as in the original list}

[Oscar G.]

I am in for 1, maybe 2. Thank you very much. They look fantastic. Cheers!

When are these ready again?

[+pboland]

When are these ready again?

If everything goes okay from here, about 2 more weeks (keeping fingers crossed). That's the goal anyway. I'll most likely start a new topic in the market place (when they are ready), and place posts in this topic and in the original topic.

Great news!

[mjarnold7]

Are these "serialized"?

[+pboland]

Are these "serialized"?

No, however there are year dates of print. Every overlay in the box set has printed on it "PRTD2013". It is also on the box and the instruction manual. Right now I'm only producing 60 sets. It WILL NOT exceed 100 sets and I really doubt I will ever make that many. If (and that is a BIG IF) I decide to make any new sets past the 100 mark, I guaranty there will be many differences and many will not even consider it to be the same set once they see it.
