MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Been doing a little sleuthing regarding Franklin the Turtle for GBA. Here's mine which I posted in a haul a while back: PriceCharting history tells me one of these sold right after I posted my haul and there was another, apparently not sealed, that sold a couple years ago. Outside of those two eBay transactions, I haven't found any info about this or other copies out there. Except... I did find an old NA thread (link is dead now but I found it via Google Image Search): Obviously that link is dead but the photo comes from Photobucket user "Iamyouremom." Was that someone on NA? And does anyone know who might have bought that Franklin the Turtle? Just curious! https://smg.photobucket.com/user/Iamyouremom/media/20131125_152802_zpsd4589924.jpg.html?o=286 ^ that's from 2013-11-25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgCollector | 900 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Here is mine. I also had another one (they came as a set from the same seller) I sold years ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonebone | 1,307 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Yeah it's not that rare there's been a lot of them on ebay throughout the years. I think I may have linked you to the one you bought @RpgCollector a few years back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is that a retail display box for the GT Advance / motogp 4-pack? Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Anyone know if it was a retailer exclusive? It looks like something you'd see at Borders or Barnes & Noble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,895 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Anyone have one of these that's either sealed or 100% complete and good condition, and want's to sell, send me your price. I wasn't aware of this item. My wife and I weren't even married back in the GBA era, but years later my kids loved the Franklin books. If this isn't to outrageous, I might want to pick this up. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold the other one to a member on Nintendo age I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember which one. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, could I get some more images of Uno / Skip-Bo (the one above Veggie Tales) and World Championship Poker? ...please and thank you!

Not 100% sure this was not just thrown together by a store, but DSI is know for creating combo packs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDogGaming | 218 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Oh, yeah. That's probably just a retailer bundle. Does World Championship Poker have any sticker or anything on the front letting you know it comes with a pack of cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgCollector | 900 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 This one I am sure of was created by Crave. I have seen a few of these and look at the maker of the cards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sticker but the cards are made by Crave and the UPC has a new sticker over it. I have seen this pack at least 3 other times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdDogGaming | 218 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 That is freakin' awesome. There's gotta be something else in those giant boxes, right? I mean that's a whole lot of cardboard for one measly cartridge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Just the cart and manuals. I opened this one years ago. The other is still sealed. regular box would not fit. Look at the cart holder built into the box in the center. 2 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
