gamer001001 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 ok i have a question i found this intellivision 2 console today. its the burger time bundle. The game and system are shrinkwraped were these originally done this way or not? i did break the seal on the original box but unsure if it was original or moisture re seal from age. any help is apreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojotv67 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 That looks pretty legit to me.. although I don't own a sealed one myself I have seen other new ones and the system and the game come shrink wrapped like that. There is also the orange "Important" notice that is wrapped around the controller. That Burgertime is also the harder to find original gatefold version which opens up book style. Did the AV cable and RF switch box come in one box and the AC adapter in another? I realize you just got this but if for some reason you don't want to keep it... let me know . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer001001 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 thank you and yes all the adapters and cords came in the boxes with tape, but does anyone else have two cents to add to this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Not being familiar with this particular package, had I seen this out in the wild like that, I'd have thought it was used and re-shrunkwrapped. Then again, if that were the case, probably wouldn't have the orange warning tag included. Bottom of the console looks a little funky (viewing on my phone)... is that just the glue coming through the sticker? Something else toward the edge of the system too.

Something else toward the edge of the system too. looks like glue coming from up under the label and the nasty dirt i see best i am thinking is from the cardboard inlays (the rf switch cardboard is moldy, the cardboard inlay for the system is malformed and still feel wet but its that kinda cold feeling and the original box itself is major wet and most the damage done to it was a short trip home in a car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think the BurgerTime should be a Gatefold too. I don't know if the top open boxes were ever released with the Game. Always check the serial numbers on the box and console. I don't remember it being shrink-wrapped but in a plastic bag sealed with a sticker as I recall.

I don't remember it being shrink-wrapped but in a plastic bag sealed with a sticker as I recall. serials on the box match the serials on the console also by what i am seeing the intellivision 2 bundle i have doesnt seem to pop as much so unsure how much latr these were released in the intellevision 2 life span Edited February 10, 2015 by gamer001001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I've never seen a new console with shrinkwrap like this. Everyone I have seen is a bag. Anyone here confirm that new consoles were shinkwrapped like this? Looks like a refurb to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I have one similar to that from ~10 years ago. I suppose it could have been re-wrapped, too, but I don't think so. In fact, the keypads on it are cracked, even being unused! Likely due to heat/cold over the years before it landed in my tender care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah that new French-Canadian one I bought had cracked Keypads too. It get's cold up in northern Michigan being stored in a basement. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have one with an opened box, but a sealed console....same cracked keypads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'm guessing they're normal sealed Intellivision consoles. Regarding the cracked keypads, I think they're just cheap and didn't age well. Probably some sort of dry rotting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I have a number of these and that is what the sealed ones look like. That is also a gatefold Burgertime which is what they came with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
