Small Update!

The cases should land in LA on the 12th (This might vary with weather and water conditions a day or two +/-)

The 12th is next Monday and the dock/customs will charge me $$$ per day it's stored there. So I'm lining up a day to take off from my day job to go down there and pick em up. (More than likely the same day they land/clear)

I have nailed down the shipping boxes and am currently working on my site trying to nail down a proper shipping rate(s) per qty. (This will not effect yall for this round, like I said, the first round of to TPC will be at my cost + $1 for the shipping box, but after this I'll be implementing a shipping rate, just to make it easier to process.) 

Sounds great. For those of us who have pledged, I assume we'll have to contact you to establish payment, or will it be through your website?

What I'll do is once I have the cases I will PM you on TCP. I'd need an address, and paypal e-mail (to send the request to) I know there are a few who have shipping accounts they would like me to use and I will do that for this round.  ;)

I am absolutely, 100% interested in these bad boys ... I'm just now stumbling across this thread so I apologize for not having pledged this first round.

But these cases are unbelievably awesome. Can't wait to own some of them!

When will this be out again?

They arrive in LA Monday I'd say 2-3 days clearing, and then me going to pick em up.

My guess they will start shipping Thursday.  ;)

I'm so excited, but also upset. I had my collection of 65-80 GB/GBC/GBA games stolen many years ago. I'd slowly been building back my collection over the last few months. Always had the plan to use old DS cases with GBA slots to rebuild, and then I saw this. I have since then accelerated buying up GBA/GBC/GBA games. Beyond the 100 I've pledged here Ive probably spent a bunch more on games!

Thanks for making these man. I'm so pumped

I have a "small" collection compared to many other on this site. Maybe 120-130 gb/gbc/gba alone. Remember this, buy all matching cases up front with quite a few extra for you to grow. Its much more simple to sell off extras as opposed to sourcing more again.

Lol, 120 is still a fair amount but it's a great point about buying all from a single batch for consistency.

Not to jump the gun here but! .... I WILL be making 2 more variations of my GB/GBC/GBA cases.  ;) The next will be able to house the built in Rumble pak carts and then my next cases will be thick enough to house Wario's Twist as well as the Gameboy Camera. This ARE several moulds out, but none the less, I am hoping to have them completed before the year's end.

So ShadowFox, regarding the thicker rumble cart and WarioWare Twisted/GB Camera cases you mentioned... (didn't want to totally hijack TheBlueEditor's topic discussing this)

Do you have any idea what the approximate spine width might be? Are we talking double and triple the thickness of your GB cases, like people have custom made before?

Also if you're making a triple-thick case to hold the GB Camera, I might also suggest that you see if there's a way to allow the GBA eReader to fit as well. It should fit in a triple-thick case, as Wiggy made me a pair of triple-DS cases for my GB Camera and eReader. Not sure what other devices or accessories might fit - maybe Game Genies/Game Sharks?

That is not a bad idea, I will more than likely add the  eReader in there as well. (I think the thickness came to 35MM inside dimensions. I THINK! (I'll check tomorrow at my work)
