JVOSS | 1,762 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I picked one of these up not long ago. some one help with info? where it came from? and what a cost maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbapauls | 250 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I think it's from Europe. They had one for sale on the European eBay. They were asking $450 US for one complete in box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegHead | 127 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Cool looking. No idea on its origins. Googling Yedigun netted me results in another language, with possible reference to a soda called Mirinda in Spain. The promotional GBC's can definitely command a premium over a normal one, but I couldn't say by how much on this particular model. The Tommy Hilfiger yellow one, a similar promotional GBC, goes for between $70-130 loose, at a glance. This one might be more rare, but whether that translates to more value? Dunno.

KokiriChild | 1,644 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 These were released only in Turkey during a promotion for Yedigun, which is basically like Fanta Orange soda. Quite rare and very cool! Nice find!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,895 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Since I don't collect handhelds that much, and just the games, I think this is the only legit orange shell there is. So, if someone wanted all official colors, I think they need this one too and as others said, it's pretty rare. I actually really like it and if it was in the neighborhood of about $75, or so, I'd definitely want to find one. I'm sure it's not that cheap, though. To a GBC hunter who knows about this item, I'm sure it's worth more than a few bucks above what I'd pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trj22487 | 350 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 That's an awesome color for a Gameboy Color, how did this not get sold in North American like this? I could totally have seen a Nickelodeon branded one with green buttons being popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,930 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I hate to use skies the limit, but in the case of that Turkish gameboy, it's very hard to come by and hard to nail a price down so it will come up to the pockets, will, and imagination of anyone fighting over it on ebay, here, elsewhere in an open format. I saw the note about the Tommy one, it's not a bad idea maybe to start, but of the special run corporate tagged systems that's probably the most common.

NeXmetal | 48 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 @RH other official release orange GBC systems would include the Mexico/Europe release Mirinda, which is similar to the Yedigün just a different name on the logo (and different serial line). There is also the Daiei Hawks, which is clear orange front / clear black back, and the Pokemon Center 3rd Anniversary console which is solid orange front / solid blue back. There is also the SLAM GBC, which is a variant of the Mirinda. @JVOSS since Mirinda GBC have gotten up to $200-250 loose lately, I would give the Yedigün a little higher around $250-300 loose. Would you mind posting a pic of the back? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you're on the FB groups, but recently in the last year there have been FAKE consoles, like the Mirinda GBC, Ford DMG, JAL DMG, Toyota DMG, etc. being made by scammers misrepresenting them as authentic to sell for a high price. I was almost scammed with fake promos twice, as well as my friend James and another collector I know in France. Since I collect promo consoles, I have started tracking serials of any promo or not standard sale consoles to confirm authenticity. I keep my list private, and I reference it whenever someone has an authenticity question. It would somewhat defeat the purpose if it were to be made public unfortunately... Anyway, yes I keep a serial list for authentication purposes, there are no names of owners or anything like that, just serial numbers. So to answer your question, both, I track them and I can confirm what you have. Picture attached is my friend holding up his authentic Mirinda, comparing it to a fake that was sold on Yahoo Auctions a few months back. We initially had suspicions when the serial number had an incorrect prefix, then upon closer examination we noticed inconsistencies with the logo. Also a comparison of an authentic Ford Iveco to the fake. I can post more examples as well...
