JoeM_Intellivision Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Agree with Eric. The Reproduction Box sets were done in 2 series of 6 Boxes each & also included 3 Reproduction red “NEW” stickers each if my memory serves me right. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/157462-intellivision-purchases-and-deals/page/164/#findComment-5241537 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Going through back lots of purchases from the last several months, I came across this. Nothing special, but I find it very odd that K Mart was selling a single cartridge without any packaging. I suppose it could have been a store closing type of thing where everything is out there for sale. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/157462-intellivision-purchases-and-deals/page/164/#findComment-5241919 Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least no more so than the joking "Toys R' Us" price tags example vtadave posted. Ultimately, everyone is going to define what counts as a variation for themselves and their own collections so there is no wrong answer. For my part, it takes some kind of permanent change to constitute a real difference before I can call it a true variant. Random sticker application doesn't meet that standard to me. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/157462-intellivision-purchases-and-deals/page/164/#findComment-5242007 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone that collects has their own idea of what a variant really is. Most collectors of the intellivision agree pretty much on all variants because they are mostly permanently printed or obvious changes. The decal issue is one thing where people do not always agree. That is ok. I personally do not see the "New" decal as a variant. I just do not think it is enough of a difference to warrant it. But.. there are other decals on regular boxes that i do see at actual variants. My reasoning is that they show that these games were distributed from a distinctively different producer in a different country. Two of these are shown below. German Stampede, and Mexican Armor Battle. 6 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/157462-intellivision-purchases-and-deals/page/164/#findComment-5242014 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely Folks!🤠 There are plenty if sub-variants, like the Imagic white trays, or the double labelled II cartridges, or the Digiplay / Digimed games that have various white stickers with new company names or adresses that matter for someone but not for others. Me, unfortunately 🤣🤣🤣, I like (and look for) them all. Luckily, I’m not interested by "Toys R' Us" stickers or similar stuff, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone here does and collects them all… 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/157462-intellivision-purchases-and-deals/page/164/#findComment-5242306 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah obviously I was joking about my Toys R Us stickers, but just thought it was a fun piece to share. I've heard that if you want to collect all the variations on the original 125, you'd have over 1,000 boxes which is fun...and crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/157462-intellivision-purchases-and-deals/page/164/#findComment-5242426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the Ecico variant games that Casey found in Iraq? Who knows how many titles were produced by them..

Omnibro Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Grabbed a variation I don't see that often, Thunder Castle (barcode on box bottom flap). Kind of an interesting score.

Crash7 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Those are some pretty sweet grabs I'm just sitting here catching up on my reading after being MIA for almost 2 weeks. Enjoying a nice healthy salad, my doctor told me I can have Zero Sugar Pepsi like the one in this photo.
