Atari_Bill Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Local Kroger-owned stores was clearing them out at 99 cents each. Only had Breakout and Pong left. I put in a request a while back to get the display when our Krogers was getting rid of it. Didn't really think they would ever call me about it. They just did! I heading over to pick it up! Can't wait to place it in the game room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzLee Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I could use the 2600 van. -GrizzLee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I checked Zellers (well, the one remaining store ) and Toys-R-Us. I have not seen them in any grocery store either. Atari is trying to stay retro to Canada as in no avaibility or marketing for Canada whats a 5200, 7800 etc etc. 99% of people who even had ataris think the only one made was a 2600.. I knew different tho as I seen on a catalog book or somewhere a screenshot of 5200 and 7800 games.. I thought whoa wth are they talking about do they work in a 2600?? Never really seen the other consoles till 2002 on the internet when I decided to be a kid again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) I have been collecting video games since the early-1990s. In all that time, I have seen exactly 1 (one) 7800 cartridge in a dump-bin at a used video game store. I have never encountered any hardware. According to the Canadian Collectors FAQ: http://www.cgcc.ca/a... Collectors FAQ Atari 5200 Hardware -- Supposedly, the Atari 5200 system saw a release at least in Ontario, and through Atari Canada by mail order. Base system (sold in Southern Ontario, mail order) Atari 7800 Hardware -- Was sold here by Toyville and Toys 'R' Us, K-Mart, and Toy City Edited February 7, 2013 by jhd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
