The Rise of a new UGC :)

Something like Sega CD/Saturn cases could be a good next step. The Sega community/collectors have been completely deprived for a source of both Genesis and CD/Saturn replacement cases, and it is about time someone took care of it. Plus once we see just how well these Genesis cases will do, maybe it will open up everyone's eyes to the potential these things could have.
And much like my opinion of the Genesis replacement cases, they should be copies of the originals. Again, with these having so much more potential to gain serious popularity outside of the cover project, these Sega cases should be altered as little as possible to appeal to everyone, and not just us here at TCP. UGC's and other custom cases, customize away! Sega cases should be left as they are, to start off at least...

Well yes, one step at a time. But somewhere in the thread he had a list in generic order of priority and there was an "Anything else?" on the list, so it just really surprised me that no one had mentioned it. Honestly, I would put it as more important than Genesis replacements -- you can buy cheap sports games with good cases for either of them, but the longboxes are waaaay more brittle/fragile than the Genesis cases. But either way, I'm gonna be buying a stack :D
But yes, I 100% agree that they should be copies of the originals, not modified in any way (besides if possible less brittle plastic), and that will increase demand for them.
... I also agree with everyone else saying it'll probably be among the most expensive to make :(

i can think of at least 5 forums that would eat up Sega CD/Saturn cases.
but, really, i hope the sega cartridge cases you're thinking about making have some way to fit all the weird types, like 32X/EA/Accolade/Codemasters/Sonic & Knuckles/Virtua Racing/Pete Sampras Tennis/Game Genie

Small update.
I just approved the factory to start working on the SEGA Clamshell mould. ;)
I think I should have some drawings and sizes (to approve) in the next 1-2 weeks. I'll share these with ya'll.
I should also be able to get an idea about pricing, which will be the "make it or break it" I'm hoping it's not too too much more than the GB cases.
Once approval is completed (and by then the GB cases will be shipping out) I should be able to get my first proof batch of cases (3-4-ish weeks from now) I'll need 2-3 SEGA freaks to really inspect them and make sure they are what we are looking for. ;) ;) (Which I think HOPEFULLY will be the "case" (pun intended) ) Then, as long as these GB cases are selling and I'm re-cooping my money, I'll be able to fire off the funds for the SEGA Clamshells....
So in a prefect world the SEGA Clamshells will be here in 45 days-ish. ...then I will be full steam ahead on those UGCs ;)
