I am still interested in how this particular bundle is the only one to come up that I have seen so far. @thatgamernerd Is this the only bundle that you have run across? I would assume there would be others out there if this is just a retail packaging decision. Seems odd that this particular bundle is what you are after regarding information, and there aren't any others mentioned. Have you seen any other similar packaging out there for GB/GBC games? I didn't really look for these when they were on shelves, so I don't know.
I am not saying that I have something super unique here, but I think ending the discussion with - well retail bundles, done, seems different from what investigation typically comes out of this and the old forum.
Having asked about a VERY specific SET of bundles, and then them showing up (with the exact same games bundles together - plus a soundtrack in the left bundle, which you can see on the bottom of the back side pic) seems like this was a planned bundle by the developer/publisher to me. Perhaps not, but who knows...? Would a retailer bundle a soundtrack just to offload games that probably weren't selling already? Maybe - I have no idea.
On that note, did retailers bundle games like this often? Would a retailer go through the effort to purchase this packaging, which has clear plastic on the front and back, just to offload some games that were not selling and include a soundtrack? Throw more money at a probable loss...seems unlikley, but I don't know. I really have no idea, but would like to know if other games at this time showed up with this type of packaging.
I'm bringing this up again out of curiosity. I don't really care about the games/bundle. Don't care about value, etc. I just think that there is probably more to the story here than just a retailer making the decision to bundle some games.
I ask the question again - extra packaging, included soundtrack, and games matching the exact bundle you asked about originally. Seems like this is more planned than just a retailer throwing stuff together to get rid of them.
Would love to hear more thoughts on this, especially from folks who really do the deep dive in to collecting for the GB/GBC/GBA.
Once again, don't care about value, and not a hype my item thread. Just would like to know more about this and other bundles.
Cheers!
