LOL, you noticed that too huh ‘)
Though it is nice to see the VB lives!

Well, I just got mine in! Serial number: VN100454901

Though I got it working finally (it seems the European SNES adaptor is AC and not DC, so that does not work with the tap and the battery pack has a failure in it so I had to repair that) at first I was not that happy with it. The left eye visor has a crack in it, but when playing a game, you do not see that at all, that surprised me in a good way! The biggest quirk I have with it is that the stand is not in good shape, the clicking mechanism is broken, that part of the stand has broke off and the seller did not mention that at all… But I have found a way to use it good and now that it works I love it tbh! Never thought it would be this good! Very clear image and the 3D effect is very nice! I cannot believe this piece flopped….. So sad as it could have been such a very nice console when the right games would have came out, but I guess that is all history!

Well, when I get my Flashboy AND Virtual Boy in, I will certainly try and write up a nice review. Though it could be not for a week or two, as I have got to know that the person that I bought it from will ship it at the end of the week and it has to come from the US to the Netherlands after that, so you can figure I think 😉

What is your problem against it? Could you please explain? I have no clue why it would be a problem, so please educate me! This is in no way meant as an offense, I just don’t get it.

Put me on the list as well please! Would be very grateful to be able to buy one! Thanks for your efforts.

Too bad the Flashboy isn’t in stock anymore :/ that would have been a nice addition to this console! Ahh well, maybe in the future there will be a new batch?

NVM this remark, they came back in stock and I have mine! The VB is so much more useful with the Flashboy!!!

Thanks for the tips! I am sure I will appreciate this piece of uniqueness. Great to see this community is alive, I love talking about those things 😉
I will be careful with it and will calibrate the system, already read up on how to do that, as I bought Wario Land I dowloaded the manual here and read about how to do it, so I will!

About the LCD and stand, too bad, I will not be taking it on the road then I guess hehe.
Thanks for the swift replies and nice to see a fellow Dutchman!
