Original Post

Was browsing Assembler and came across this. I know a lot of people are looking for this game, so I figured I’d post it here. Cart only and no label though.

One caveat, I have no idea who this dude is, so purchase at your discretion. Price is also a little much for just the cart (I paid $85 for CIB I seem to recall). But since these aren’t readily available I guess that’s alright.

I mean the game won’t be released any more officially so it’s gonna just raise in price by demand like any limited item. Demand is way over supply on Bound High! so it’s basically gonna rise and rise.

Well, $80 is cheaper than trying to convert a FlashBoy Plus into a Bound High exclusive cart on one’s own, so there might be a buyer for it.

I made those, but how the hell did he end up with 5.

These were supposed to be sold with the box / label etc and one per customer (as they are in demand).

Huh, good question.. Being without the label and all that is it possible he made reproductions of the reproductions? I find the no label part of it a little strange..

He does say 5 units available “for now,” so perhaps he does indeed plan to get more or even make more himself.

Ok, this went from a little weird to very fishy…his latest post:

“None of these had labels and I had to sort them out from the other carts in the lot which were Hyper Fighting repros which I won’t be listing until I get more info due to the mess that has happened there.”

Mindstorm, didn’t we have a package go missing with unlabled carts ? I can’t remember what was in the package off hand.

Yes 🙁

Does Uncle Tusker want to comment ?

Looks like we found the master thief.

I don’t think the guy that has him is…I think someone sold them to his store.

If I make any more repros, I will ship them directly from me to the customer. I can’t lose the time and money having them keep getting stolen.

This is awful – how many carts of each game were in that package?

This isn’t the first time? This is terrible, man.. what a shame this sort of shit happens

Well that’s shitty… I’m more interested in the HF game repro…

I’m curious about that too.

What an oddly specific thing to get stolen. Something like amiibos I can understand since they’re high in demand and are recent, but a handful of homebrew carts for a 20 year old console that’s not very loved with a niche audience doesn’t seem like the thing someone would say “yeah, I’m gonna steal that.”

Regardless, sucks that this happened. Hope this doesn’t happen again.

What was said was that a package went missing, then posts following that assumed the package was targeted for its contents. Without being involved I would need to ask if it perhaps went to the wrong address (a postal delivery issue/a neighbor intercepted it)? Has anyone contacted the seller for more details? Perhaps if they knew the circumstances and the proof they would be kind enough to return the carts to Eric or Richard?

I pulled my sale listing and will be returning the carts to their rightful owner. speedyink provided me with enough info about the incident that I believe these carts are the ones that were stolen. I need Minestorm, bigmac, or UncleTusker to PM me with details of what happened so I can return them.
These carts were clearly made by Minestorm and this all happened in LA. All further details will be by PM only.

Thanks again for understanding. I shot those three an email, hopefully that will help them see it quicker and get in touch with you.

Now here’s a righteous dude! Thanks for making things right in the world.
