Albert Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Here's a photo of the bins I am storing the pre-order games in as I have been building them. Each of these bins can store 72 Atari 2600/7800 carts, and varying numbers of Jaguar and 5200 shells (which are a bit larger). There's about 800 games in these bins right now. I have all the 2600, 5200, and 7800 games built and tested, as well as all the extra games for these orders. I will be finishing these up over the weekend (labeling and boxing), with the plan to get them all shipped by the end of next week. I will then focus on getting the Jaguar games shipped, and I will be building them while taking breaks from the crazy amount of shipping I'll need to do. ..Al 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are incompetent. @Albert if the costs of using ebay for smaller orders to the UK is anywhere near the cost in your time of submitting returns to HMRC every month or however often they need them, then I know which option I'd choose.

I'd really prefer to have both options. eBay is fine, but I only have a subset of games available there, and it's more time consuming to deal with than the AtariAge Store. I just wish they'd make the VAT application process more straightforward for small businesses. It's confusing and not always clear exactly what they asking for. ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaidMouse Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 @Albert, this is all absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing all the hard work that you put in to get games to all of us. Really looking forward to getting my pre-ordered game and maybe order some others I have now seen in the pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 After several days of slaving away, I now have nearly all the 2600/5200/7800 games ready to ship. The Jaguar games are next, but I'm first going to get all these out the door while I continue to build the Jaguar games (they are somewhat time consuming to build!) I also have a few more "extra" games to build, but most of those are completed, tested and labeled as well (some do need to go into boxes, which I'll get done tomorrow). Plan is to start shipping games tomorrow evening, or Friday at the latest, and then work through the weekend to get all of them shipped. Then later next week I will have all the Jaguar games shipped as well. First, here are the plastic drawers I posted a photo of above, but they are now all empty except for the "extra" games, which I just finished testing and labeling. Here are most of the boxed games: and Will be nice to empty these shelves and tables. ..Al 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 I shipped nearly 200 pre-order orders over the weekend, bringing them to the post office (and another trip to UPS) yesterday morning. Still have more orders to ship, in particular any orders containing Gravitic Mines and Dr. Typo Collection, which I'm working on building this week so I can ship all of those early next week. There's probably another 40 or orders that don't contain those games that I'm also working on getting out ASAP. Here are some photos from yesterday's fun! I expect that all the domestic orders should arrive this week! ..Al 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
