As it was posted on here months ago amidst speculation (and still, no concrete answer, even years later, as this has been brought up before 
) over what the actual number of Vectrexes ever made was, I also wonder about Mr. Boston.
Yes, it's very rare, with well under 10 copies (actually I think the number's at only about three) known to exist.
However, as a friend of mine pointed out on another forum, it makes you wonder how many were actually produced.
He said there could still be a lot of them sitting in a warehouse somewhere, and it makes sense: why would only, say, 10 to maybe 25 at absolute most of these be made up ever? I don't see why they would make something so rare and years later no promotion flier of these have ever turned up. It seems like SOMEONE would have an old photo of a store window display announcing these or something: hey, official limited edition Mr. Boston Vectrex game, inquire inside! What the heck's a Vectrex? many non-gamer drinkers back in the day would ask. Who cares, it's limited edition and could be worth something one day; I'll get one! Maybe two! Especially since I love Mr. Boston!
So--even though this is probably a pointless question to ask--I guess no one knows how many of these were actually made either, eh?
