  1. There's projects you can do with it, apparently. A friend drop a kindle and broke the screen, talked to amazon to get it fixed, they send a new one with no charge instead and they didn't ask to return it, Could be this case? or someone pick it from the trash and take it to the pawn shop?

  3. They also have a System manua in spanish in the video, yu also have it?
  4. Does cathalog variants count in this post? I never saw this one. is from a Youtube video of two Spaniards Talking about Intellivision. Anyone have this scanned?
  5. I´m one of the venezuelan Sellers, you can ask anything.
  6. Those Mpt03 games are not abundant, I have very few of them, I don´t what other sellers have.
  7. Yes, he is alive (that I know off) He was a official distributor of the mpt-03 console, I think that was his first contact with video games. I don´t think there´s games tht have not srfaced, I search all of it. Taiwan stuff was a regular price but he bought a los of stuff, (Fami clone games, Sega, Controllers for several consoles) and most stuff unassembled, so he still have crates of Famiclone Shells, Sega, Controllers parts. he was looking for the cheapest way to buy. did not fore how the consoles will be obsolete. The parents could be the cheapest console but the kids will want the exiting new stuff.
  8. I´m one of the Venezuelan sellers who dig up and bought stock from the wharehouse. The arehouse owner bought all that stuff get contacted in International electronics conventions, after the video game crash, there's a lot of companies trying to get rid of their inventories and get people to offer the stuff. He din´t remember a lot of stuff or didn´t like giving much details. He did mention that he bought the intellivision stuff from a new jersey warehouse and get them for "free" he just pay the trucks, the were really eager to clear the space. he personally new the Spectravideo owner (From Electronic Conventions, Fellow Jew) and maybe this how he get their stuff. Musicland / San Goody returns came from a Software distributor (Maybe Softcell, I dont remember well) that I guess the provide computer games to them and they return unsold stuff in big rectangular boxes made originally for Lp's. this company did a clearance later on and this were most of the Computer games get to the warehouse, theres also Atari, Activision, Coleco, Avalon Hill stock. Stuff purchased norally (Full Distributor price) was the Taiwan stuff, Turbografx, some Nes and Sega. only Taiwan stuff was in large quantities.
  9. None with the exeption of a Gold Mine game from Spectravideo. PAL is useless in Venezuela.
  10. Sorry, not a single one Red Bmx, very few original Nes and Genesis, but a lot of bootlegs for those. The legal battle with nintendo was for the Use of "Nintendo Ca de Venezuela" court seized only few games displayed in stores, never went to warehouses. there was not large quantities of 5200, and some titles more than others.
  11. I´ve searched the wharehouse and no luck with those, sorry.
  12. I´m one of the seller from venezuela and I can tell that this is not true, we never have a electronics reciclyn industry. Those games were bought after the crash at very ow prices for the intention of selling them, but the market was not big enough for the market and newer consoles were more popular.
  13. Could be they just change the names of the games and inside is the same? I only compared the insides of Space armada. Anyway, these Aurimat variotions are unique and probably only for Mexico.
  14. yes, sorry for the hijack, to close the theme, Venezuela has oil and we got a lot of US influence and many local brands have english names and some funny anglicisms. As I understand the ones I have are made for spanish speaking market, for spain and latinamerica (the same holes in the back boxes are for several european markets) none of those came from the famous warehouse. My theory is that the mexican company get some translations already done by mattlel (like Space armada) and make their own like in Astrosmash.
  15. there's always has been pressure to wipe off spanish in PR, I may remember that spanish was forbidden at some point?
  16. I do remember having many toys names translated ramdomly, Strawberry Shortcake was "Rosita fresita" but He Man was He man, and had Monopoly (Monopolio) with my country's names. Star Wars was Hilarious, the only name change was r2d2 to "Arturito" did you get that in puerto rico? Anyway Astrosmash is harder to pronounce than Star trike, the should have some reasons (even lazyness) to do so.
  17. Mattel beign an experienced International toy seller, they must had a Foreign marketing office that could choose how to name toys in other languajes. Night Stalker is hard to pronounce for people unfamiliar with english.
  18. Could be that the translated name is not cool enough in Night stalker the translation is in () so is more an explanation instead of changed title.
  19. I check with my Copy of Armada Espacial and is the same Translation, only Difference is the Leyends on the back and front Covers
  20. The Boxes are the International Standards, with the holes in the back for the Languaje - especific manual.
  21. Long time without login, Hi to all. I compare with my Spanish manual and they are very different, Looks like Aurimat print their own manuals, not the same as the international spanish ones.
