RpgCollector

Yes. I finally found one. First saw it here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GameBoyCollectors/permalink/1312627588943010 then another collector had one in his collection. Now I found mine!

You also had SVG Distribution re-release games. They only changed the boxes/manuals. Nothing else. Most of the Absolute GB games were re-released by them.

How in the heck did I miss this thread? I guess I am not on here as much as I use to be. Thanks for the info!

How did I miss this thread. Very nice. I am in for the Kubo 1&2 CIB. Just bought Kubo 3 from you on Twitter. Awsome stuff!

I have decided when ever someone shows me something in this thread I did not know about, I will return the favor. Super rare Balloon Kid variant

Finally found the super rare Franklin’s Great Adventure GBA set. Only the second one I have seen. Now the whole family is togeather!

The good stuff this week. A lot of this was in transit for over a month.

This why I love this thread. Did not know about this game. After seeing this found the creator on Instagram and ordered one of his last copies! Very nice fellow by the way.

This is a name I remember from NA. Welcome to the new mad house!

I don’t know why, but I have been loving Little Big

Can we get a pic of the made in Japan left side chips? I have never seen this variant before. Thank you

All the Black E PC games have about the same box date codes: SML - 991117 SML2 - 991117 DKL - 991119 DKL2 - 991119

That set looks like a mix. Manuals don’t match either. I only have 2 Zelda CIB. Regular and PC. Tons of print runs for that game also.

Bomberman GB - 02-10-98 Wave Race PC - 11-28-97 Kirbys Dream Land 2 PC - 04-02-98 Tetris PC - 08-21-97 Tennis PC - 04-28-98 Zelda PC - 12-09-96 Bugs Bunny PC - 12-01-97 Donkey Kong PC - 09-17-98 SML PC - 05-30-97 F-1 Race PC - 03-19-98 SML 2 PC - 01-30-97 Super RC Pro AM PC - 04-06-98 These are the box dates from the picture

To add to your -1’s here is a 10-16-92 box

Oh. First box I can’t read, second is blank, third is 10-04-91 & 4th is 11-07-91

There were more than 20 reprints of SML for the GB and 8 box variants. The first 3 had no date codes (Green pics Warranty info only, Green pics with warranty/for sale and use, normal pics with same warranty/for sale and use as 2nd green pics box) No way to tell how many print runs for each. Then the 4th box change added for sale in Mexico and had a date code (at least 2 printings with this box). 5th change is TM to (R) box and was -1 ( at least 4 prints of this box). 6th change is warranty info change and was -2 box (at least 3 print runs) 7th is the players choice change -3 box. (At least 3 print runs of the -5 manual, 1 of the -6 manual and 4 runs of the -7 manual). The 8th and last is the super rare black E -4 release, only 1 print run. So after the first 3 variants there are tons of print runs of each change. Over 18 million copies of SML were sold. That is a lot of print runs, LOL

One I don’t see on your list:

Ad matches the released boxes:

I am wrong. The Majesco release came with the black and white manual. Tons of examples on eBay. What happened to my manual? I know I opened it new. I had 15 copies of this game at one time trying to get a minty box of each version, so I think I got mixed up. Sold them with rebuilt systems years ago.
