You should start selling replacement 64 rumble pak doors.  There are so many with lost doors

Don't forget about Pokemon Pinball too!

My ? is "where do they go?"  You take it off and put batteries in there then you put it right back on.  How does it get lost in that time frame?

[Arseen]

My guess is that you ut the cart in drawer, it tumbles around, cover falls off, sibling takes the game and plays not minding the missing cover and so the locations the 2 are separated.

Happened to me too many times.

Good luck with the delivery.

4-19-2013 Notice:  Please excuse and delay in email/blog/FB/forum replies, shipping, or the completion of orders.  To make a long story short, my wife went into labor at 32 weeks on the 16th.  What preceded that were other related issues which required a LOT of my time and attention in the 2 weeks leading up to the delivery.  We had a healthy baby boy and I'm just now getting back to my desk to answer emails and get orders moving again.  I'm so terribly sorry if this has caused any inconvenience or problems.  Rest assured, I will take care of any issues, questions, or concerns as soon as humanly possible.  Thank you for your patience.

I am putting a hold on any incoming orders for custom items until I can get caught up.  I will resume taking pre-orders/orders for custom items once I've managed to catch up a bit.  Keep an eye on the blog and Facebook pages for updates regarding my return to accepting new orders.  I will continue to take orders for production items such as the micro faceplates, backlight kits, & Glass GBA lenses in the meantime.

If you already have an order placed or have sent an item or items in to be modded, then rest assured that you’ll be taken care of.  I will not be canceling any orders as of this moment.

Thank you,
    wiggy


update: Of course I try and print a few things this morning and my printer starts hemorrhaging black ink.  There's literally a pool of the shit on the tray. Fucking great.  So, put that aside and finish my yogurt I guess.  No prob, until the spoon slips and a giant blob hits my keyboard.  Man, I can't catch a break.  At least I have a squeaky clean keyboard and printer now

Just gotta figure out where that ink is coming from and why...

This includes my Playstation right? Congrats on the baby wiggy. I know that they require a ton of attention so try not to stress it too hard.

Your printer became so acustomed to a heavy workload that when it finally was given a chance to rest it died.

[wiggy]

LOL, tell me about it!


NOBODY'S been forgotten. I've got the PSone line up nextto the zillion other items that I need to finish up

Dear Lord, I opened it up over the weekend to attempt repair.  The drip tray foam bits were like beyond saturated and the tube meant to carry overflow to the drip tray was clogged to death.  Actually says a lot about the printer.  I've probably printed thousands of sheets beyond what it was ever expected to in its lifetime.  Took 2 rolls of paper towels, 30-40 Q-tips, roughly 250ml of isopropyl to clean the surfaces, at least a dozen pairs of Nitrile gloves, and then another ~1000ml of isopropyl to soak the foam ink absorption pads in to get them de-gunked.  What a mess.  This was the last thing that I had time for at this point.  

Slapped it back together.  Gonna print a few sheets.  Wish me luck!  

If that didn't fix it, it's going to be thrown off my roof later today.  Seriously.



Next up, regroup and streamline.  I'm probably gonna shut down for the month of May in order to totally revamp the site, add new content that's been on the back burner FOREVER, adjust the product and service lineup, and seek some outsourcing for existing and new products/services in order to keep up with the pace.  Doing this all on my own has become technically impossible.    Luckily I've got a couple of fellow TCPers on board to help out some and I'm talking with a couple of folks/companies about help with other stuff.  I really want to have more products "in stock", which I can't do right now because of the whole one-man-show thing.  I want a giant pile of modded GBAs sitting here ready to go!  Growing pains suck, but I'm happy that the biz is growing and not deflating


Back to PMs and emails...

[Seraph Man]

Be sure to record the chucking of said printer off roof, if it comes down to it. 

[wiggy]

Oh dude, you KNOW I will!

[wiggy]

That reminds me, any chance you painted a pink N64 cart for a trade we somewhat talked about?

[BadChad]

I sense a custom Kirby 64...

Sweet! I saw you only need like 3 N64 games left and I have all 3 so what kind of deal can we make? And yes BadChad that is for a custom Kirby 64.

We can so make a deal!

I only need Bomberman 2 and Ogre Battle at this point




I will be at the CCAG this year along with other great vendors like Stone Age Gamer.  I've donated a fun door prize for their raffle/Chinese auction as well.  Check out their site for details about the show and the raffle prizes.  Hope that some of you local (and maybe not-so-local) folks can make it out
