+cmart604 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 And the amazing thing: That box looks much better than mine. Maybe leave the sticker on there for character.

Pixelboy Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Maybe leave the sticker on there for character. Hey, we Canadians are proud of our weird videogaming heritage. I just compared the quick scan of your box with the one on eBay that digress mentioned, and I think I can edit out the sticker relatively easely. So could you scan your Dam Buster box and send it my way please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Just the standard 2-piece box... nothing new or unknown. I cut and pasted from Luc's list, so that was in there to differentiate between the U.S., Canadian, European and Australian boxes of Parker Brothers games. You say Australian variations, well Ikrananka came across a Popeye box that was produced/printed in Australia, but we are not sure if other PB releases got the same treatment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received your e-mails and I will have a look at them first thing tomorrow morning. I'm too tired right now to review them. I really have to go to bed now.

+Tarzilla Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 What about some sort of puzzle card sub set? I have several card sets that do this, they can be framed and displayed this way. Maybe a unique, distinctive poster can be worked up (like the Intellivison running man poster made of the 125 original box covers) and turned into a 3x3 or 4x4 subset puzzle. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Quick questions to CV fans: 1) Is it confirmed that a CBS box exists for the Expansion Module #3? 2) Does anyone know a collector who happens to own a CIB copy of the north-american version of Robin Hood / Sir Lancelot? I'm getting close to having scans of all the american/canadian boxes, but that one still eludes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed1475 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Quick questions to CV fans: 1) Is it confirmed that a CBS box exists for the Expansion Module #3?

Since the box is so big, perhaps it would be easier for you to just take a picture of the front of the box with a digital camera. You just need to be careful about light sources. Just a thought. EDIT: Tobie told me he has the european version of the Robin Hood / Sir Lancelot double-ender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 I finally finished redoing the description icons (after procrastinating for most of last week) and I uploaded the new icons to teampixelboy.com (in the "Project Overview" section) if anyone here is interested. I also posted some interesting info in the "Latest News" section, and I updated the "To-Do List" section to match my own personal to-do spreadsheet. So tonight I'm relaxing, and I'll get started on Jewel Panic tomorrow morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hey, Really neat idea, please add me to the list of interested people for the trading cards! thanks Also I am still interested if anyone has confirmed a box or telegames green case insert for amazing bumpman? Same for skiing...I was never able to confirm those 2 when I made my coleco boxart collections a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
