If you need GCE Vectrex boxes, then keep an eye on the seller, he's got about 20 of them in total for the Vectrex. I was negotiating to buy all the Vic20 boxes he had, but he's chosen to eBay them instead.

I was negotiating to buy all the Vic20 boxes he had, but he's chosen to eBay them instead. Could like new boxes for my Pole Position and Polar Rescue games. They are in regular condition, a bit decayed. I have the three lightpen cartridges loose, too... so maybe I´d to talk him. The most of my originals are european. Ebay sending taxes between continents are often very high for do a reasonable business. Perhaps with a combined send, or taking the issue off ebay... Thanks for the suggestion! |

Bedlam is one of the games that I have everything except the box and plastic insert but since no one makes repro inserts, I might as well just buy it complete, just looking for one in excellent shape.

Thanks Mayhem! That list is very lightening. After read the MelodyMaster description, what catches my interest is the curious way these boxes were found and carefully stored. But I´m afraid plastic inserts were missed in the process.. Not being an expert tracker of old vectrex items, I see these boxes like rare items. Bedlam is one of the games that I have everything except the box and plastic insert but since no one makes repro inserts, I might as well just buy it complete, just looking for one in excellent shape. In accordance with Mayhem list, Bedlam box is (or will be) available. But in a first moment, I didn´t think about the plastic insert, being the key for keep the game "one-piece"... Maybe you could do a polystyrene mold; a good mold could give more solidity to the set, even (just a crazy idea) |

Amazing price just for the box. Definitely shows it was the right venue, at the right time, with the right crowd. |

Yeah, most of the other boxes went for higher than expected prices too.

I only saw Melody Master listed but some games can be completed for cheaper than if you were to buy them CIB. The only thing is boxes only come up most infrequently and overlays only are hard to come by as well. I was able to piece together CIB copies of both Star Castle and Cosmic Chasm but have had all but the boxes for Polar Rescue and Bedlam for quite a while. I've pretty much given up on reuniting them with boxes and now I'm just looking for the right CIB copies to come up. Bedlam isn't so bad but I've already mentioned my woes about less than perfect or less than complete copies of Polar Rescue that sellers want as much as mint complete copies.

I have a bedlam box it has a price sticker upper right corner but box is in good shape also white insert.    |
