With so many collectors in hiding, its a task that may take several years without even nearing collecting them all.

Just got the number 15, originally crafted for Richard Hutchinson. All black.
I'm located in Finland, bought it from Sweden 400 euros shipping included.
Fantastic item for the Vectrex lover like me, OMG!
Cheers!

Were the Vectorcades digital or analog?

Anyone know what this is? I mean, is it actually a Brett-produced Vectorcade? I just found it in a google image search. it's hosted at pong-picture-page.de with no additional info.

It certainly fits with the permissible colours Brett offered on special orders:
Special Order Combos Metalflake__________ Background_________ Joystick____________ Buttons____________
Red Red Yellow Yellow Red Red Red Red Orange Orange Yellow Yellow Gold Yellow Yellow Yellow Silver Yellow Black Red Blue Green Purple
As much as I LOVE my Vectorcade I wish I'd gone for some crazy colours for it!

That's probably Oliver's site of the pong/Vectrex museums. I can e-mail him and ask if anyone wants.

The "Circus Theme" / "Kid Theme" Vectorcade is mine. AKA at the "Worlds' Ugliest Vectorcade" or "Most Unique Vectorcade" Take your choice from above. Vectorcade #11 as ordered. Metalflake Gold on Yellow paint, Yellow Joystick, Red Button 1, Green Button 2, Blue Button 3, Purple Button 4 I also ordered optional parts from Brett for the alternate configuration to make it into a "Yellow jacket theme". But have yet to leave it configured that way. Vectorcade #11 with optional black controls. Metalflake Gold, Yellow background, Black Joystick, Black Button 1, Black Button 2, Black Button 3, Black Button 4. You will see it pictured from other locations as well. The main pics will have been lifted from the myriad of Classic Gaming Expo ( www.CGExpo.com) pictures. Both sticks have made an appearance at many of the CGE shows since they were delivered to me. Each one has been on the floor for others to play the Vectrex. A second one you will see is one order four months earlier. Has this color scheme below. Vectorcade #05 looks black until you get it into brighter light. Then the purple really starts to show up. Vectorcade #05: Metalflake Purple, Black background, Black Joystick, Black Button 1, Black Button 2, Black Button 3, Black Button 4. CGE Services, which I guess that group is now better referred to as Videogame History Museum ( www.vghmuseum.org/) for this conversation's purpose, has a Vectorcade in black case with black buttons that is shown when my Vectorcades are not present. I think Sean Kelly might have originally obtained that one, but I could be wrong since the CGE equipment came from several people. That one matches the Vectrex factory theme the best. I'll have to look back into my emails and pics to see which production number that one was. (Don't hold your breath ) Here is a picture of the purple and black next to each other at a past CGE. Can you tell the difference in that light?

Then there is a pretty blue Vectorcade I think no one could ever dislike.

So no hidden message inside that one then?
