JaggingUK Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Just picking up from another thread for someone complaining that the box size from some companies making new Jaguar games will not fit in his plastic protectors - and the fact that maybe the companies could ship the games with plastic protectors on them already (which would make them safer in transit and make them already have a plastic box protector)... I think it's a pretty good idea even if it cost a little extra on the price - I know I've had difficulty fitting some newer games into box protectors due to the box sizes being slightly oversized so maybe the option of a box protector at point of purchase might not be a bad idea for a $1 or $2... Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVE 1 GAMES Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 My thoughts exactly. The WAVE 1 GAMES boxes will be the exact same size and dimensions as the commercial released games starting with Saucer Wars this September. (30-ish...) I plan to do the other releases in this size as well but it will be a slow transition. I have also already decided that with every new cart order will come with a plastic box protector already just as you suggested! This is an extra bonus for the customer and it avoids the need for any kind of shrink wrap to be applied. Those plastic box protectors are only $1 each when you buy in bulk. I have already stock piled hundreds of them for this very purpose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Think you're referring to me about Piko Jag game boxes haha. Your idea is a great one. Sounds like Piko was all about it and good to see Wave 1 is, too, and that Wave 1 will also be matching their boxes to regular Jaguar sizing moving forward shortly. I don't necessarily agree that if box protectors are supplied with purchases that shrink wrap becomes redundant, as there are LOTS of collectors that put box protectors on sealed games. I'm more in the camp of acquiring games that are already opened so I can play games without breaking open NOS, but just putting it out there that there are a bunch of people that love sealed games.

Machine Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Or customers just buy the slightly bigger box protectors. Not sure how many people use box protectors and how many people don't. There are even people who don't display boxes.....imagine that! ? So are games gonna go up from $70 to $72 or $75? Don't see the need now we know who sells the bigger version. Let customers decide if they want them or not. Maybe put a slip of paper saying where to get the right size protector. No real cost and easy to do.

WAVE 1 GAMES Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I cant speak for Piko, but there will be no increase in price of the games for the box protectors. This will just become the new standard for Wave 1 Games releases 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I'm looking for protectors for my box protectors. The insert that holds that cart isn't enough, nor is the box that holds the insert that holds the cart, nor is the protector that protects the box that holds the insert that holds the cart. Still plenty of room for damage, I need to protect that protector. Thanks! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I was thinking stores like AA or PIKO would allow customers to buy games, but never ship them. They could just store the games for customers. Kinda like some online gold companies that allow you to "buy" gold, but they hold it for you! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the process of building shelves using 1970's air hockey table technology, allowing games to gently rest on a cushion of air. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Threads like this make me want to create a series of must buy games and release each one in a different sized mismatched box, with at least one so oversized it wont fit on a regular shelf.

WAVE 1 GAMES Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) I have redesigned all of my boxes based off the new Saucer Wars box. The box is the same exact dimensions as the commercial Jaguar releases and ALL will come with plastic protectors now. (some boxes also got a facelift) Hard to believe it took me over 2 years to finally get this box thing right.

Saucer Wars looks like your best title yet, too, so you're on a hot streak, @WAVE 1 GAMES! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
