Lord Innit Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I cracked and ordered myself a copy. This time I got an option for flat rate postage ( which I didn't get last time unless I missed it),so the total cost was $77 instead of $109. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot cheaper than buying in the original batch from Europe to the UK! Of course you may get hit with customs - and you now might from the EU too Is there any difference between the versions, is there something to distinguish the limit nature of those from the maker?

Yeah, I am prepared for that. Just didn't want to pay $59 postage and customs on top of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overlay was done in true screen print form and it's the original release from the man. Wish I could've swung throwing my hat in the ring for the initial printing. The packrat/kelly and BDub (as I learned looking at the pcb and seeing the color led) is at a fantastic point that clearly isn't getting anyone rich and providing a top notch product. So if you ordered one and have a clear case, get it ready to display that nice vectorblade pcb. Mad props to all involved. good day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Innit Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I see the limited qty has sold out on Sean Kelly's site. Glad I got my order in when I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bitAndy Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 This is really an excellent game and deeper than it appeared at first. I was hooked when Sinistar appeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uczmeg Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Is there a reason, other than madness, that the Packrat version would be so valuable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
