well at least ha answered your email lol. Sad thing is I'm moving this weekend, its a few weeks already beyond his estimate. Hopefully he'll reach out to me and I can change the address. I'll still own the house but it would suck to drive half an hour out to the old place to pick up the box, and hopefully no one messes with it lol

Hi all!  :D

Sorry I've been such a ghost lately, for my day job the last quarter of the year is insanely busy and I've been doing the work of 5 men. (I'm actually working now but even my family members are looking on TCP and nudging me to respond!) LOL

Odd, I only see clear as an option for the 100.  I was looking to put in another order as my NES collection has outgrown my case collection again.  Is there any update on when the dark cases will be available in larger quantities again?
Yes, I'm absolutely out of the NES Dark Gray cases for blank sales. I have already had an emergence batch flown in just to get some orders with covers out the door, but that solution costs me more than what I'm selling them for. I have a boat load heading my way, but the Holiday season is already upon us and everything is twice as slow and twice and expensive to get it here.

I E-mailed them a few days ago. they told me the SNES and the N64 cases were "In the water heading this way now". so hopefully they will be here soon.
This is true.  :) The SNES AND N64 cases are both heading our way. I just haven't had a moment to get the pre-orders up anywhere! >.<

Just adding some more praise for Shadowfox. I've ordered NES, GB, and UGC cases from the website multiple times. There were some shipping delays once, but I emailed Shadowfox and he responded quickly. My first order (which was all UGC and not his custom cases) arrived damaged, and he quickly replaced them.

Shadowfox is 100% reliable. He provides great service and an awesome product.  ;)
Thanks! My number one problem right now is: I'm like NO WHERE! Lack of telling iinfo on my part. (SORRY! :( )  And the second issue is my turn around time on orders. (This one is getting better.  ;) )

What does it matter if he delivered 25 perfect cases? Maybe the 3 extra cases where damaged before hand.
I was just curious, that's all.

Don't waste those away!
Nut sure if you seen this trick, but they may be useful to try a triple CGC pack of SMB 1-2-3  :)
Well, one of the wrecked ones was also missing the plastic overlay, so...


Yep, we get some cases delivered to us damaged from the factory right off the bat and I get no replacement or refunds for them, so instead of throwing them away we use them to fill in some boxes. (Like a box of 50pcs, at the end you have 2 empty spaces, we use these broken cases)

We also use broken cases for cutting down boxes, weight tests, trying out modding ideas, ...freebies (j/k) If I'm packing the box I don't do anything to the broken cases, BUT! If my sister is packing the box, she'll cut the sleeve or mark it with sharpie to make sure you can't use it. (lol) There is actually a story behind this; I had a client who ordered 50pcs of the gameboy cases and we added 2 broken ones on the top to fill the box, well that client received his 50pcs intact but gave my sister a rant about how horrible we packed it because the 2 on the top were broken "in shipping" and she basically told him we use them as buffers.. well.... he wanted 52 perfect cases even though he ordered 50. LOL I was nice and sent him 2 cases, and my sister on the other hand, wasn't happy about it and wanted to take the fight to the grave. HAHA So now she takes it out on the broken cases when she uses them in shipping.  :P

As for other news! This latest order that is heading this way has PLENTY of NES (and SNES + N64) Dark Gray cases in it! It has clears too. My next mold will be the SEGA Game Gear; I'm hoping to get it started before the year ends.

Thanks for checking in man!  Can't wait for the Game Gear cases!  That's really my only "Random pile of games needing a home" left.

Thanks for reaching out to me about the order! Glad to hear things are starting to move again. Even with the delays I think I'd come back and make my 4th purchase if you get some game gear cases out. Oddly enough that was like my second favorite system lol, and there is no good way to case those yet. Even tho I won't be able to display these for a minute because the move I can't wait to start using the SNES cases.

Those are seriously the worst type of people in the world.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Hey Shadowfox, you got any idea on dimensions for the Game Gear cases yet?  Might be able to get a start on templates / covers.

Awesome to hear that SNES and N64 are on the way. My favorite video games are all just sitting around waiting for these cases!

Right. Reminds me of a story. A Cafe from around here had to throw away lots and lots of donuts because they hadn't sold. They started GIVING them away for FREE the second day(when they're not as fresh). Well people started complaining and bitching that they didn't taste quite as fresh as the new ones. The store got tired and stopped this generous action. We can't have nice things. If I got stuff FOR FREE I would stop complaining and be thankful(yes that includes you Moviefan2k4)

Looks like the blank Genesis cases are out of stock? Not complaining, but should we see more soon? Or if they're not out of stock, then you should know they're not showing up in the store lately.

Thanks for helping me get my loose games cased!  ;D

Yes. I basically only have clear NES cases at the moment. The last shipment I got in lasted me over a year. My new shipment should be here in like a week.  8) Then they all will go back up on the site.

Hate to be that guy, but any word on SNES cases lately? Will they be included in the next shipment?

I see the blank cases are back in stock, so the new shipment must have come in. Could that possibly mean *fingers crossed* that the SNES cases are FINALLY actually in stock and ready to ship out soon?!
