Good haul! Now get back to finding the good stuff buddy, lol  

Yeah yeah... you know I've always got things in the works. Just wish more GB promos were coming up lately. I know you've got your eyes on a few things of mine

Ran out of Gameboy stuff to buy, so I started searching for other random promo consoles... within a month, I found two promo Xbox360's. I've never actually owned any Xbox before, so it's a little comical for me to have bought these. 

- "300" Movie promo, 20 made, autographed by Frank Miller & Zack Snyder. 

- DC Comics promo, 10 made.

These are the product of my boredom, I can't stop searching just because the stuff I go for is drying up... 

Anyway, Id be interested to trade for promo Gameboy(s) if anyone is interested Nintendo>

Amazing collection!!

I see you don't show your GIG/ITA or HKG/ROC in your international set, are you going to showcase them later?

also i have been stocking your different lists for a few years, do you just focus on consoles?

 

Thank you!

Sorry, I dont check here as often as I should

One each ASI CHN and HKG pocket are in pic there for fun, but my "international set" was console variants not box variants at some point I'll post everything, but its mainly a space issue at the moment. 

Ive followed you on IG for a few years as well yes I pretty much only do consoles, I have a few games / proto / service center / etc items as well, but my main focus has always been GB consoles - most specifically Pockets.

I notice the FC Fiorentina sets coming in those big boxes and you got variants of them aswell. Very nice. The Swedish GBP aswell but a lot of those are compromised to me the serial code sticker it's so sloppily applied it's like someone used his fucking foot to put it on.

FC Fiorentina are two different version consoles the one that does not say Gameboy Pocket on the box is the version given to team players and partners. 

Swedish, yes I agree many have a sloppy edition sticker on batt cover, but that is from subpar glue used on the sticker, and heat from hands during play that slides the sticker. Not sure if by compromised you just mean ugly, but if you're touching on authenticity, Swedish have a unique serial prefix, and I have never seen the matching certificate replicated.

wow, incredible collection! Do you use box protectors for them? Been thinking about getting some for my console boxes.

I have box protectors on the limited / bundle ones (once I have condition up to my standars that is) .. I don't bother for the common colors as it would just be too much for lower value boxes lol

Wow that's no small feat! I'm missing the gold from my standard release collection

I've been going back and forth about getting the limited edition colors CIB.

Gold is considered limited, and a TRU exclusive, or so it was advertised. US only got 3 limited colors and 5 bundle sets, plus mail order NP100. Definitely worth going for Id say

Complete international CIB official release console variant Gameboy Pocket collection!

A few extras / box variants in there too

Many more box variants on hand that I was unable to fit in a clean picture...

** not including promos or kiosk / display consoles, or anything considered unofficial

(Wood and Marble are the two I was on fence about being unofficial... since they do not have a unique box, I consider them promo or unofficial. I do not own either of these yet.)

Dude, NSFW tag, please!

Nice collection, man. That's an amazing site to behold.

Thanks been at it for a while.

I have quite a few bundle sets / box variants, but not enough room to take a picture

That is a sick collection! Very jealous. 

Thank you

This collection includes boxes both with and without LED, all 5 bundle sets, as well as NP100. 
Does not include Walmart blister set (arguably unofficial). 
Also includes 3 additional / unnecessary boxes - Toyworks stickered clear, and two different red bundle boxes with sticker over UPC. 
** retail releases only - promos, and kiosk / display stuff not included.

I also plan to take some time and get a picture of my full official international CIB GBP console collection later today.

Enjoy

Thank you beautiful

GBP?=game boy printer? Usually sellers wont bring odd stuff unless its worth something.

There is a swedish gameboy LE(Blue and yellow if you ment  that one)

 

 

GBP - GameBoy Pocket

I have two Swedish editions, one is with certificate, but is missing the manual sadly. I have been searching for the manual a long time

Fun note for my Swedish GBP, although the edition number is far between them, the serial number is only 2 apart!

Welcome!

My friend when to the expo in Sweden earlier this year, I asked him to look for a Swedish GBP with papers for me, but no luck

Hey all, just wanted to share and get some opinions on this Judge Dredd box I picked up a while back. 

The artwork is different (more zoomed in), and the logos have different placement, as well as the ESRB rating being different (rated T like the other console releases, whereas the retail release of Judge Dredd was rated KA). The back of the box is mostly blank, plain white box instead of a UPC, and the flap code is DMG XX USA. 

I'm pretty sure I know what it's from, for lack of a better way to put it, but I'd love to hear some opinions on it. 

(Hope this imgur works)

Sorry but what did you mean with "mine has Correct Number Imprint also"

Authentic Gameboy games have a number imprinted on the label, sometimes with a letter. Most games only had a few different number imprints from what Ive seen, and the number imprinted on the label of my cart matches other SML26GC carts

Just now, RH said:

Thanks, but nevermind.  I'm not sure I want to go with expensive, custom cases shipped internationally.  If there was a store, though, that had these made up then I might buy 10-20 of them.

Thanks for the info, though.

Of course, no worries. I have a friend who helps me with UK shipping so it wasn't too crazy, but yeah I only have the one because they're pricey. Would be amazing if cases like these were put to production though!

Where did you get that Acrylic case?!  I have about 20 carts worthy of a tomb like that!

Also, that's an AWESOME error.  I don't think I've ever seen an upside-down GB game label (though I'll admit I've never looked for one.)

I know someone who has a UKV SML1 upside down label also and Im pretty sure Ive seen one other out there of some different game, cant remember what it was though... 

Mine has correct number imprint also

the clear case is custom made by Adrian Fields on FB who also goes by PR Displays, based in UK. Can give you a link to him if youd like, he does the cases in any custom size small or large, but they aren't cheap lol

It depends on the reason do you have a serial list your tracking or a way to confirm what it is i have?

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...

Looking forward to getting icons lol

Alway cool to have awards on the forums 

Mine is Zeke, the main character from Zombies Ate My Neighbors, but more specifically the Majesco SNES artwork variant. This was the very first video game I ever played, and one of my all time favorites. Though I mainly collect Gameboy consoles, that variant box is still a grail that seems to elude me. It has also been my avatar since I started collecting, I'm one of those people that sticks with one thing forever, so I'll probably never change it. 

I could be down for this, sounds fun

I posted in your NA topic if I remember correctly, I have an upside down label error SML26GC cart

I decided to start collecting Nintendo pens lol 

Very cool! 

Recently got in this CoroCoro Faceplate (prize / promo, I think 100 made) with a DS Lite for a really good price. 

Normally I only go for Gameboy stuff, but I love all promos

@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?

@Tanooki nice set man! Looks like some very clean consoles. Love the clear case GBP, one of my favorites! And please feel free to post a bunch of pics, this is all for the love of Gameboy! 

Here's my GBA shelf I snapped a pic of the other night (not all are on that shelf though)
