I am still no track to have additional copies of Pandora Incident in a couple of weeks. All the overflow orders I got that I responded to will fit in that batch. If you have found another way to get the game, please let me know so I can sell them otherwise. I am not taking any additional orders for Pandora Incident at this time, however.

No, it didn't work out.

If you are talking about a CIB TNT Cowboy, the six copies that did not sell here will go in our eBay store on Thursday, along with 8 A-F, 7 Ninja Odyssey and 16 Miner 2049er, I am no longer taking orders directly on AtariAge. Also, I used my allocation to order 20 boards for Pandora Incident and Elektronite has sent me the rest of the materials, most of which are already sold. There will be a few extras available that will go into our eBay store along with Star Mercenary, hopefully coinciding with the first day of PRGE.

Pandoras are all gone now.

I still have four

Blue Sky Rangers and Intellivision Collector have both received stock (20 copies each) of the new game, The Pandora Incident, from Elektronite. Intellivision Collector should have them listed in their store today and ready to ship. We at Blue Sky Rangers have just received the pieces and need to assemble them in preparation to ship. They should be ready to ship by this coming weekend. We are prepared to take pre-orders vie direct message here on AtariAge. Send us your postal location (ZIP) and PayPal ID, and we will acknowledge your order by return DM and send an invoice when we are ready to ship. Our price for The Pandora Incident is $70USD. Also available from BSR will be full CIB/NIS releases of Elektronite titles TNT Cowboy, Ninja Odyssey, A-F and Miner 2049er, also limited to 20 copies each, and at the same price. These might not all be ready by next weekend, but we have the pieces in hand and they won’t be too much longer. I can also include A Tale of Dragons and Swords in these shipments, as well as BSR releases Stadium Mud Buggies and Party Line. These are already assembled and available. I will have to charge sales tax to California residents, and am shipping from Orange County, CA, USA.

The minimum bid was $799.99

Starting Thursday morning (Aug 4), A Tale of Dragons and Swords will be available in the Blue Sky Rangers eBay store. At that time, the Overlay Packs and Stadium Mud Buggies will also be back in stock. We have also acquired a new batch of original manuals and overlays which will be added to our listings in the next couple of days. Some of them had been out of stock, and others have never been available from us. Through Saturday, August 6, I will accept direct sales at a $5 per item discount on Tale and Mud Buggies (both will list at $69.99). Just send me a PM with your PayPal id and your ZIP code or other postal information (so I can calculate postage). I can also include Party Line, Deep Pockets and King of the Mountain in the $5 off offer. I will have to collect Sales Tax from California purchasers.

Valeski bought out the partners of Intellivison Inc and CHANGED THE NAME to INTV Corp. He did not form a new company. No where in that history does it say that INTV Corp did not distribute Intellivision Inc boxes. If anything, the indication is that many of the items attributed to Intellivsion Inc were generated after the name change (reduced color overlays and black and white manuals are specifically mentioned in the section AFTER the name change, and I believe this text is brought straight from the old site written by Keith). If anything, it implies that World Championship Baseball and Thunder Castle were released BEFORE the name change and one might expect Intellivision Inc notations on early boxes of them. I don't think any such thing has been reported. To speculate (as I was not involved at that time), INTV Corp may have continued to do business as Intellivision Inc in addition to as INTV Corp. I filed a DBA to allow me to cash checks made out to Intellivision Productions after changing the name to Blue Sky Rangers, and they may have needed to do the same thing.

Generally speaking, the manual and cartridge should match the location on the bottom of the Mattel box (and each other). The overlays will usually be USA, but the box bottom will say so if that is the case - a few games have HK overlays available. Sometimes the enclosed catalog will be a USA catalog in a HK box, but again, the box bottom will say so. But in the wild, lots of swapping of manuals and cartridges has been done to make better looking packages (or turn loose games into box games). Full color manuals should always come with boxes that have keyboard component text at the very least. As the revision numbers get higher, the more likely it is that it should be in a later box. but we don't know where the cutoffs are.

We had package some time last year that we sent to Italy. It sat in Milan for a couple of weeks, then went to Brazil. Eventually it came back to us.

I am missing Frog Bog and TRON SS, in addition to Super Series Baseball. There also appears to be an early B&W Golf manual that still has Mattel copyright info that I am missing. In addition to Super Series, I also have no WL cartridge for Backgammon, Mr. Basic and Word Fun. And still missing various other varieties.

Actually, manual and box art does not typically vary between HK and US versions, though some times there are different colors on the manual. The most visible difference besides the HK/US text is that later US versions come without a plastic tray, while the HK versions keep the tray throughout.

What an odd lot. I count SIX FCTVVO in there, and a bunch of Intellivision Inc, along with some other stuff. An odd mix of really old and newer versions. Probably cobbled together from various locations.

I got the mailers sooner than expected, so have sent invoices to those that have messaged me and will continue to do so as they come in. I plan to sell some direct and get them mailed out Tuesday or Wednesday and then start putting them up on eBay.

Well, none of them are signed by EVERYONE. We have located the mailers we plan to use, but do not have them in hand (and won't until after the holiday), to determine the weight for shipping purposes. The mailers cost about $1.50 each ncluding the cost to get them shipped to us. It appears that postage might be $11.50 domestically, though we might be able to use first class package, which would be around $6, depending on the weight and still get tracking (though perhaps no insurance, so that might not be ideal). I plan to initially sell them direct here on AtariAge, using PayPal. The 16 signature pieces will be $40, and others will vary accordingly. Here is one of the CGE 2014 sleeves, which is the most common set of signatures. None of the sleeves were all signed at one time. The CGE and Comikaze notations from 2014 are when Keith signed them, and some of the other signatures. Gabriel, in particular signed them at PRGE the year we had the Amico announcement. Some of the other signatures were at annual BSR reunion lunches 2018-2020. So interested parties should send me their PayPal ID and zip code and I will send an invoice when I can get a good weight, probably Tuesday or Wednesday.

I don't know where those are. I am pretty sure that I don't have them.

That is Mark Urbaniec (Vectron), signing on the picture of himself that is next to the panel

I thought I had done the unreleased Atari 2600 M-Network games, but noticed yesterday that I had not. They are up now.

For pricing, I was thinking $5-6 for the unsigned sleeves. We were selling NVM autograph cards signed by Keith for $15 (and signature only, no cartoon), so that is a floor for signed sleeves (that Keith signed). While the other signatures are not equally difficult to get, I would think $1-2 apiece for those and something for the cartoon, making a total price in the $30-$50 range for the fully signed ones. The most common set of signatures along with Keith is Gabriel Baum, Michael Breen, Eric Del Sesto, Steve Ettinger, Bill Fisher, Connie Goldman, Ray Kaestner, Michelle Mock, Bob Newstadt, Karen Nugent, David Rolfe, Stephen Roney, John Sohl, Mark Urbaniec and David Warhohl. This set of people is on the ones marked CGE2014 (Though many of the signatures were applied at later dates). We have 8 glued and 10 unglued. An additional 2 unglued have a smudged signature of Nugent. There is one additional (with a good Nugent signature) that is missing Gabriel Baum. There are four labeled Comikaze 2014. These have Mark Kennedy, Dale Lynn, and Dave Stifel instead of Eric Del Sesto, Steve Ettinger, and Michelle Mock. There is an additional one with no cartoon, that compared to the CGE2014 sigs has Mark Kennedy instead of Eric Del Sesto and Michelle Mock (so one fewer signature) Another with no cartoon and a running man sticker over the serial number has Mark Kennedy and Dale Lynn instead of Eric Del Sesto, Steve Ettinger, Michelle Mock and David Warhol. This one has two David Rolfe signatures.

We have a bunch of Flashback sleeves, both signed and unsigned. I have been sitting on them this long because we hadn't really figured out how to shop them (not that we spent a lot of time thinking about that) or how much to sell them for. We have 45 signed. 14 are signed by Keith Robinson only (one of those is personalized with a cartoon of Normy, the rest have no cartoon). There are four that are signed by 9-10 BSRs that do not include Keith. The rest are all signed by Keith with 14-15 other signatures. All but two of those have a cartoon of Normy along with Keith's signature. We have 45 unsigned. Some have printed serial numbers, some have hand-written serial numbers, some have running man stickers, some have fall 2014 Retro Game Show stickers and some have Comikaze 2014 stickers. One of the Keith solo signature sleeves has a Running Man 2014 Holiday Sticker. Three of the ones Keith didn't sign have the Last 79 sticker, so there are lots of sleeve variants. Here is a typical 16 signature sleeve.

While I think I can say there is nothing else "in the archives", I cannot say for sure that no programmer has a copy of something. Of course, after all of these years, some T-Cards, etc may no longer be functional. I have had some fail, myself. And actually, I guess I am not sure about some of the rom images I have (as to whether they have been released or not)

I'm just sorry (and a little embarrassed) that it took almost five years to get it all over to the new site. (at least I think I got it all)

Remaining 1984 planned releases added as of now. Would like to figure out where the Computer Corridors screen came from so that I can rescan from the original rather then upscaling Keith's image.

I finally got around to doing a fairly major update, getting the non-Atari2600 M-Network titles and information ported over from the old site, with format changes, etc. It all hooks in under the base M-Network page at https://history.blueskyrangers.com/mnetwork/index.html I still have to move over some of the unreleased 1984 title information, and will probably try to start on that soon. Please let me know if you see any problems on the new stuff, or on old stuff that I haven't fixed.
