LX.NET Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Definitely contact them. I had the same, but they replied immediately and their reply mail to me seemed to have gotten lost. Duranik instantly resent the original mail with the quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaztee Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 What happened about the bonus cart? It was only mentioned in one of the update emails. Would have liked to have had this too, but really I'm just happy I managed to snag a boxed copy after missing out last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have liked to have had this too, but really I'm just happy I managed to snag a boxed copy after missing out last time. As far as I know both the game and bonus cart were more or less always available for years as long as you contacted them directly through the e-mail address on their web page. I guess many people just didn´t know, so they ordered it now and of course it is always nice to have now a box that looks close to original Lynx boxes.

Guitari Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I paid for the new bonus cart but I haven't seen a picture of the new design at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trew Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I paid for the new bonus cart but I haven't seen a picture of the new design at all. I registered interest in the bonus cart when that was requested, but I only got billed for the main game. I asked about the bonus cart, and was told there weren't enough made... so you're maybe one of the lucky ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmillortoni Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Someone is selling an overpriced card at eBay: http://www.ebay.es/itm/ATARI-LYNX-GAME-CARTRIDGE-ALPINE-GAMES-NEU-NEW-/351414410138?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item51d1ee5b9a 99,99 €!

Trew Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Someone is selling an overpriced card at eBay: http://www.ebay.es/itm/ATARI-LYNX-GAME-CARTRIDGE-ALPINE-GAMES-NEU-NEW-/351414410138?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item51d1ee5b9a 99,99 €! These things really piss me off. Unless I am mistaken though.... that seller is videogamer.org. They have copies of the game for sale at €89.99 too (must be the new one, as previously it was out of stock). So I'm guessing they got a batch of copies to sell? Rather than them just selling on their one copy for profit I mean. Edited June 1, 2015 by Trew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trew Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 In fact... in the few short minutes since my first post, they've updated their listing again. It's now €99... but signed by the developers. http://www.videogamer.org/show2.php?lynx+Atari_Lynx_Pricelist+on+ch So clearly a "proper" business deal (and not a reseller) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadPricey Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 They hopefully purchased enough for Duranik to put the game into production so we could all get a copy. Duranik said if they didn't have enough preorders wouldn't have happened. I have a tracking number from Duranik today BadPricey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaztee Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 This is what you'll receive if you belong to the lucky few: image.jpg Ok now I more upset as I actually mentioned this cart in emails. Will it still be available to purchase separately?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnibot2000 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Afaik the Bonuscard was only produced in _very_ limited quantities, i.e. it was sold out before you asked for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvirtuale Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) now it costs: € 119.99 If the game were for two players I'd buy one for myself.but since I already have the game in hand. Buy only the bonus that I did not. Edited June 1, 2015 by mvirtuale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duranik Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) The bonus cart amount was very limited from the begining, at one point we had the plan to let people optionally add it to the order but this would have delayed everything by at least 3 monhts as we would have to collect the orders to get a higher amount together. This price of 39 Euro only was possible because some retailers took a couple of those games. We couldn't offer them a big discount because the whole package wasn't very cheap to produce. It uses a custom made injection molded plastic cover. Thats not exactly cheap to do in this low quantities. We are looking into the possibility of getting some more of those bonus carts, again this will most likely be a very low amount, if we can confirm this we write a mail to all AG preorder people.

vectrexroli Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Got mine today and will show it on my channel in more detail at some point, when there will be a time slot for Lynx homebrews. I also got the Bonuscard, but I ordered quite early and asked for that before it was even communicated there will be even a bonus card.

Clint Thompson Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 My Goodness! Are those not some of the sexiest Lynx carts you've ever seen or what?! So glad I got them both incoming! Can't wait...
