New NES cases (work in progress)

[lammi87]

OK, so now all the regions for the pre-orders actually have shipping cost included.

Thank you very much Shadowfox. Just ordered 70 cases.

Can you also tell why it has been taking you a little longer than just an hour to do this? I thought it was due to a simple problem with your website but agues it is something else.

Maybe he has a life?

I know and I did not meant to be rude. I was just wondering why a problem he stated taking an hour to fix was not fixed for days. Well, it's fixed now, so I'm happy.

I'll preorder 150 cases, when I get the next prototype in hand   

I need more shelf space.

Yep! I have a life.  A very busy one with LOTS of questions surrounding game cases. haha!

So I guess this is a little off topic but what comes next after these? Genesis cases? N64? SNES? I would love to see this start thriving with multiple different options for different systems!

It appears that after this NES case I'll be taking on 2-ish moulds at a time.... I gotta double check, but there is a 99% I'm going to partner up and take down the genny clamshells around the first of the year.

I really like how these cases are turning out, but one thing I don't understand is why so many varieties are taller than the cartridge itself. Are any of the NES game manuals taller, and thus needing for extra space?

Yes, some NES manuals are tall and thick (... ). Those manuals are the same size as SNES or N64 manuals.

any news on this?

Did you talk to fedex ?

 

[larryinc64]

Are you going to have your name on the inside of the case like on the GB cases?

Small update:

So the factory wants to charge me the cost of an entire new mould for the small changes I am requesting of them.   

So I have a little back and forth to do before I really know what the heck is going on. 

As for my logo, I think I will be adding my logo (not as large, and more than likely in the spine)

Where are they manufactured?

Shadowfox, I think this was dicussed here a while back, but are there still any potential plans to make these with the matted sleeve? (like the UGCs, not sure how else to describe, kind of a grainy finish on the outer sleeve)

Hey there! Actually, I decided to stick with the clear smooth sleeve (The same sleeve as the Gameboy cases) There were about 9 out of 10 people who commented on them wanted the clear smooth sleeves.

Also! Just as a small update, I sent the factory a nice detailed e-mail yesterday morning with our original terms and desires for the NES cases, basically, as I stated yesterday, the factory is attempting to attain about $7,000 extra to correct the minor changes to this case.  So.... needless to say I am back in a negotiation stage with the factory about all this. (A silver lining: Chinese factories LOVE to negotiate, so I'm not freaking out about their request for the Moon. The only thing at annoys me about it, it that it is taking these cases a bit longer to be created.

I had no update/ e-mail waiting for them this morning so I am assuming that they are discussing my e-mail.

I'll keep you all informed with any update.
