holygrailvideogames.com Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 A few months back a collector contacted me and offered to make a reproduction box for the 5200 carrying case? I am just curious as to what others would pay for the box. He quoted me a price (more than I personally want to pay at this time) but I am sure that a lot of work is involved. Here are some pics that he sent me of his original box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it I think one of these could've become the Nuclear Football carried by the president? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 That's interesting, but I wouldn't have any interest in one. I do love my 5200 hardcase though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+remowilliams Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Can he make a repro Atari shipping box too so he can put this box in it and then ship it in another box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Lee Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 It is wiser to reproduce the carrying case. Not many of us have it. Then we shall think of the reproduction of its box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R. Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 With the carrying case by Atari, your Atari 5200 Super System is portable fun! You can take your Super System, a selection of your favorite games and the power supply on the road for fun any where there is a TV!* * Persons with back ailments, heart problems, and pregnant women are urged not to attempt lifting a fully loaded Atari 5200 carrying case. If a tingling or numbing sensation occurs during use, drop the case and seek professional medical help immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariRocks Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 at least I'd only need to bring one cartridge with my carrying case since I have the AtariMax flash cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.bill Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 at least I'd only need to bring one cartridge with my carrying case since I have the AtariMax flash cart. with all the extra space, you might be able to fit the wico sticks and keypads in there with your atarimax cart. I also think there would be a lot more interest in a reproduction case than the box.. Problem is I think it would cost way too much to reproduce the case.

BassGuitari Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I don't think I knew there even was an Atari 5200 case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Rogue Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 He might consider a reproduction 5200 system box instead, I would think there'd be more of a demand for that than the carrying case (which far few people have). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
