I have been inquiring further about the custom game cases and received this email from Mark S. today after asking if after the pandemic the custom game cases may be re-continued.

The "custom game cases" are the newer versions that are readily available/still in production. Also, Arseen, can we combine the multiple threads about the discontinued UGCs? |

I might still do it and then do some manual pruning. |

Here is what Mark emailed me: "We made these ourselves. They were very popular during the video store era and renting of games. Over the past couple of years it has surged mainly by the retro craze. We placed a reorder with our factory in Late December. Chinese New Year in 2020 was early, 1/25. The factory was not producing anything the week before and the week after due to the Holiday so they booked production for Mid Feb. Right as they were coming back in early February COVID hit and they shut down all the way till May. Then in May we found out that the factory we used closed. We struggled to get the schematics for the case and took it to 2 other factories, but between new tooling costs, increased construction cost and Tariffs my company decided not to re order. That’s the full story. Mark Steurer Customer Service Manager The Shopper Inc." I told him he should do a kickstarter to get them in production again. I'm open to alternatives; and have certainly cased several collections via Custom Game Cases; but the UGC is so standard and fits quick a bit of stuff; would be nice to have them as an option. |
