Just in case nobody here visits NintendoAge, a new user there is organizing a 50 copy run of SD Gundam Dimension War. He’s also gauging interest for a French translated version of Virtual Bowling.

I was concerned so I decided to post about it here. Is he free to do this? Does anyone here know him? I don’t recognize him. If this is alright, then at least this thread is here so you guys can get a copy.

Is this still something I could get in on? Do I just need to donate a cart? I’ve got one I’m willing to chip in, if that’s all I need to do.

The waiting list is full, but I have over-ordered in case of bad parts or acts of dog. So after the orders all ship out, there may be a handful left over that I could parcel out.

Cool, I can live with that. Thanks for the update.

My SD Gundam original Test Cart arrived today! Thank you Daniel!

As for when he wants paid, he hadn’t posted that. I can tell you though from my cart that the label art is top notch, I opted away from a boxed copy (boxed games just aren’t important to me, I care only about the game).

That label is what I would consider to be ‘okay’ quality. I designed and printed that on my home printer and die cutter. UncleTusk is actually going to be printing the labels, and they will be of much higher quality than that.

The run is primarily done on NintendoAge, and the rules on NA prohibit sales of things that aren’t on-hand, so I’m going to actually need to have the boxes and other paperwork on-hand before I can start calling in payment.

I understand that reasoning, it just kinda…annoys me a touch.

I will say, however, that if all the PlanetVB guys paid up front, I would be able to get the printed materials paid for by the end of this month. Just saying…

Oh I was talking about the design, not necessarily how the actual print was. Just the design looks really nice.

Oh, thanks. I’m actually pretty proud of the design myself. I had to redraw a lot of the elements of the boxart – the right leg of that Zaku (the green mobile suit) is almost totally my artwork.

I’m considering re-doing the “SD GUNDAM” bit so that the ‘SD’ is a vector match of the original title rather than a simple font replacement, but I’m very happy with the gradient.

I played a few games of it today, and it’s pretty fun. The depth of 3D is pretty great, sort of like in Bound High! at some points. I am very happy!

I want to buy this too, how can i do this?

Well, the waiting list is full, but I’ve over-ordered on parts, so I’ll likely have a few additional CIBs after the run of 50 is complete for sale. I’m definitely keepin’ one, though.

How’s this project doing? Hope everything is going smoothly.

Sorry to everyone who has been waiting! I’ve been keeping updates on the NintendoAge forum, but with work, illness, general life tomfoolery, I actually forgot to even check this site for a few months!

Okay, so I FINALLY got the printed materials (on the 19th of Dec – yeah, two days ago), and all are assembled and nearly ready to go.

I’ll be taking from tomorrow to Jan 2nd off, and over this weekend, I’ll be contacting people and getting some info to help me compile individual invoices.

I was stupid and forgot to order the clear collector’s cases until just a few days ago, and I probably won’t get them until after the holidays, so that is totally my fault.

However, this project is pretty much done – just a little bit of legwork left, and I’ll start shipping.

I apologize for not keeping PlanetVB’s thread updated (though I’ve been pretty open about the NintendoAge one – you can read through that, which will explain all the obnoxious delays Vince and I went through, as well as see pics of the final product), but things have kept moving, even while I’ve been silent here.

Thanks to everyone for keeping the faith!

I’ve been following on Nintendoage.com. End product definitely looks worth the wait – very professional!

If anyone here ordered a Gundam, head over to Nintendoage.com now to make payment. While he sold the original run of 50, he’s toying with making more, so if you missed out, you may want to post your interest there.

I posted my interest in buying one there. Hopefully he will be able to make more. 🙂

I’m really interested in buying one also. I can give a Vertical Force cartridge with box and manual (without insert and dust cover) as a donor.

Alright, most of the International orders are shipped. Still waiting on several people to get back to me. I’m thinking that, if I haven’t had contact by February 14th, which is six weeks from now, those who haven’t responded will lose their place in line. For those who provided donors, they are free to contact me and they will receive the dollar value of the discount that would have been applied to their purchase returned to them via PayPal gift.

I don’t like drawing lines in the sand, but it has been nearly two weeks, and I’m growing a little concerned by the silence. Now, I know that life can get in the way (believe me, I know – I had some lady rear-end my car yesterday, joy of joys), so I figure that six weeks is a very fair length of time to wait. Long enough for a short hospital visit or personal tragedy, and anything that would necessitate a longer absence probably means that someone has much bigger problems to deal with and shouldn’t spend their money on something as trifling as a Virtual Boy game.

I’ll take one of the spots if someone doesn’t get back within the allotted time.
