I posted the link for this auction in The Noteworthy Auction Thread a couple of weeks ago. I ended up winning the auction and would now like to add it to my collection of Threads…
I have to say, this has got to be the crispest, most unfolded Virtual Boy Box out there! Not just because it’s unfolded and unused, but because the finish on this box is super super glossy as if it were just made today, and has never had a registration card, or a Duracell Battery offer sticker ever placed on it.
It’s like a frickin’ museum piece! (to me anyway) these pictures dont do it justice.
I had to ask the seller how he acquired such an awesome piece, and he told me he got it from a former Nintendo employee that had worked for the company for over 20 years. He said the employee rescued it from being thrown away along with a NES, SNES, N64, and a EarthBound box, all unfolded and never used.
It’s a little awkward trying to display this thing. I cant leave it lying flat, cant just lean it on something, so I mite just make a custom display case for it. One that will make it stand up on its own but at the same time protect it from any foreign objects that may come in contact with it…
