I'm interested in purchasing a GBA Shell from you but they are all sold out, I was wondering do you have an ETA on when they will be available? Second will the shells be modified to fit the AGS-101 Screen mod you also sell, and last if I want custom buttoms say White is that something you are able to do?

Thanks Wiggy you're site is great with lots of stuff i'd like to buy but its all sold out! lol

Hopefully in the next few weeks. Got about 300 shells sitting in big-ass bins at the office, and we just need to find time to paint them :(

We do plan on modding them all for the backlight mod. Figure it doesn't matter if we do all of em since a normal GBA LCD will still fit just fine even if its modded ;)

As far as the buttons go, we still aren't able to produce them fast enough to keep up with what we need to build systems with AND have any leftover to sell. But we're working on it. I just started a handful of new molds last week so we'll be able to cast 3 times as many parts at once :D

Thanks for the answer. Looks like i'll have to wait it out or check out other options. I'd like to support you and your business because you're a regular here and do the community such a good service, but i'm impatient lol but i'll definitely order something when everything is in stock.

Damn, Wiggy, I hadn't checked out your store for a while -- many of those GBA LIGHT+ models are amazing! I hope they are restocked soon!

I wish Wiggy would have more stuff in stock, but everything is sold out.

Is RCG a 1 man operation?

I hate to answer a question for someone else, but I'll just put it this way...

When you have such a high demand for something, it's hard to keep up with it all no matter how many people you have working with/for you.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

I check that site daily to see if anything is updated and its always the same, sold out, discontinued etc. so you can say high demand and i would buy that if his stock was ever updated but its not thats why I Asked about if its only him running the business.

It's not really my place to answer that question fully. But I do know that RCG is fulfilling orders. That's why the site doesn't seem to be updated. I remember seeing a post of Facebook that they will not be taking any orders for GBA stuff and mayby some others because of the higher demand than supply.

Pretty much right. While RCG isn't a one man operation, it is a small operation. Wiggy and his crew are in high demand, so it might seem slow to us, but they are working as fast as they can to fill orders and requests. Cut the poor guy some slack  ;)

Also, for a while RGC took pre-orders.
And I believe they took a decent amount of them. So for a while now, they've been working on fulfilling those.

I believe Wiggy posted on RGC's FB account that they would probably limit pre-orders in the future as he liked being able to update the site with inventory more frequently.
