Wickeycolumbus Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I saw this on wikipedia, it says that the fb2 was made august 2005-present. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I saw this on wikipedia, it says that the fb2 was made august 2005-present. Is this true? I seriously doubt this to be the case. Curt can probably answer definitively. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickO2 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 No, it's not true. I called them last Winter and they said they no longer support the system because they stopped making it. I needed a replacement power plug and didn't want to drop $30+ at Radio Shack. It REALLY ticked me off because I bought a NEW FB2 a week before at Target (as a gift). They said it was old stock they must have been getting rid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It REALLY ticked me off because I bought a NEW FB2 a week before at Target (as a gift). They said it was old stock they must have been getting rid off. Target held on to a bunch of old stock that got put out last Christmas. The last manufactured FB2's were shipped out in the summer of 2006.

flammingcowz Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I called Target a few months ago, and they said they're getting some in this christmas season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Rogue Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I called Target a few months ago, and they said they're getting some in this christmas season. Interesting. Well let me repeat though so everyone's clear, there have been no new Flashback 2's made. They have not been manufactured since 2005. Anything Target keeps putting out is back stock they've been holding on to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I got a whole bunch of those (five of which I gave away as part of the AtariAge holiday sale). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 I called Target a few months ago, and they said they're getting some in this christmas season. Sounds good! I hope my target gets some, I missed them the first time around (I had no idea that they were actually 2600s), and was far too lazy to get up early in the morning last Christmas. Ill have to call them later on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony J Case Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 So did any Flashbacks show up over the holiday season, or am I just wasting my time calling around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 So did any Flashbacks show up over the holiday season, or am I just wasting my time calling around? I went to target the day after thanksgiving and they had none, but they might have before I arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
