'Pledge Thread' SEGA Genesis Cases

[Shadowfox]

Awww maaaaaannnnn..... I don't really want wet cases.....

They are hitting the water this week.  and with them are more NES cases too!

Yes! But my wallet hates you. At least I already paid for the Genesis cases. About how long do you think? I'm itching to order some of those NES cases!

[T.A.P.]

I don't know if it was ever mentioned, but Master System manuals are slightly smaller than Genesis ones, and while the cases for Master System games look nearly identical to Genesis ones, the plastic tabs/teeth/whatever you want to call them that hold the manual in place are slightly different for Master System games.

Assuming you made these cases to be as similar to Genesis ones as possible, that means Master System manuals wont fit in them properly (they'll slide around some since they're smaller and wont stay in place).

Incidentally, Game Gear manuals are the same dimensions as Master System ones, if that helps as a point of reference for anyone.

I don't mean to poo on anyone's parade or anything, it sounds like these are really cool and could be a great boon for people needing new cases, I just wanted to toss that out there.

It's a valid concern.  I highlighted it here http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=19392.45

Hi there TAP! I also noticed this.... and I'm already whipping up the cost to create Master System cases as well.

Awesome! I'd love to get some of those when they become available.

They are still in the ocean.

Would the current order that you are waiting on be used for pre-orders, but is this another sample case?

The shipment coming is almost 3 times the size of the pre-orders. Basically, the factory made WAY too many cases in their run and I didn't have the means to absorb the cost for them and the factory didn't have to sit on them, so they are sending them my way on credit. So YAY to tons a stock.... but now I have a bill to pay off. >.<

This shipment is a 20' container, it has lots of gameboy cases, about 10,000 NES cases (both clear and dark grey) and the Genesis cases.
I have a whole pile of "prototype" drafts and sample carts on my desk to ship to the factory to get drawings and quotes for molds for the next cases on my list, but I've been super busy and haven't finished it all yet. (Expensive to ship to China)


 

[Madducky]

WOW!!
Just WOW.
If possible, can you take a picture of the shipping crate when it gets there? It would just be cool to see.

[tiktektak]

So that means the Mega Drive cases will be ready for purchase also for non-preorders right?

I'm on the edge of ordering maybe 300-500..... Let's see.

[TDIRunner]

I'm looking forward to them.  I have many naked Master System games waiting on cases.

Mid-October Status report? I'm surprised we haven't heard anything yet 

[Shinjo360]

I do wish the cases where design to work with genesis and mastersystem instead of making the cases bound to just one system.

Are all the cases marked Custom Game Cases? Since im over the "pond" i want them blank.
