Hey, guys.
I just got an e-mail about my Atari 2600/7600 Cases, and a link to this thread.
I was asked, "Will your future Atari 2600/7800 game cases be able to contain ColecoVision cartridges and manuals as well?"
The Short Answer:
I don't know, but It would be great if they would!
The long Answer:
The good news is that they're still in development, so alterations to the design are possible.
I don't have any ColecoVision Carts or Manuals on hand, nor do I know the dimensions of them.
If you guys can provide dimension info, and suggest some titles I could buy, so I can test them with the Case during the Prototyping Process, that'd be great.
If the manuals wind up being bigger than standard 2600/7800 Manuals, that's ok, because I could design a special case just for them, if need be.
The pricing on my website for the yet-to-be-released Game Cases are ballpark figures; they're not set in stone.
I understand that I am going to be competing directly with UGCs, as well as Nintendo-Brand DS Cases, and am trying to either price-match them, or at least get as close as I can to their prices.
Shipping is not included in the ballpark pricing. I'm not sure that I could do that and be fair; as I ship worldwide, and there's a big price diffrence for shipping stuff overseas.
However, I am taking that into account with my Shipping Boxes, because some countries have weird rules and restrictions on overall package size, so everyone can get the best bang for the buck.
I'm also working on adding FedEx as a third shipping option, for those of you who don't like the USPS or UPS.
The Overseas Shipping Option that offers the best bang for the buck is usually USPS, because as ya'll know, they don't charge any Brokerage Fees (unlike FedEx, DHL or UPS).
The majority of my Game Cases will be compatible with The Cover Inserts posted at The Cover Project.
Those that aren't will hopefully be supported by new inserts, made by the talented artists at TCP.
I will bribe some of them with Free Cases, if I have to.
As for the Quality of my Game Cases, I think it would be best for other people to give their own hands-on impressions of them (once they become available).
I will say that they are all going to be American Made, most likely in Texas.
I'm not opposed to getting them made in another state if I have to, but it would make it a lot easier for me,
if I can have them all made at one of several local places, that I have my eye on,
because then I could easily have a face-to-face w/them, if they screw up.
