Assuming you’re talking about this one I have pictured below? If so, then I don’t think it has anything to do with the Virtual Boy. In Mario’s Tennis for the VB both Mario and Luigi were still rocking their signature hats, but on this pin they’re wearing visors.
Hope this helps.

They basically took the sidebar from the image below and placed it over the one in their photo, you can tell by how the text box no longer overlaps that side bar as it does in the picture below theirs.
That and a bunch of other bull.

Here’s some pictures of these cards lit up.
All of my OEM stands allow for the head units to be installed either way, but they all seem to go on just a little easier when they’re installed the “wrong” way. I think I know why…
Have a look at the picture provided below and you’ll notice I highlighted five plastic nubs just above the serial number sticker. Then you’ll notice I also highlighted the top of the stand. When we attach the head units the way it says to in the manual, those five markings come in contact with the highlighted part of the stand making it slightly difficult to attach the head unit this way. Those five markings don’t exist on the opposite side, making it easier for the head unit to go on the “wrong” way since there’s nothing there to rub against that highlighted part of the stand.
I don’t know why it’s like this…but it is

I’ve been meaning to get at this thread, this is a great find!
It’s very nice to see the original instruction sheet. The display I had documented here was missing it, so it puts the installation of the chain and brackets in a much better perspective.
I’ll attach a picture of the chain and brackets.
It was probably easier to remove the chain from the bracket rather than removing the bracket from the head unit once it was applied, and this is most likely why yours still has that bracket attached to it.
Cool stuff!

Number 19 is another Pac-Man 😔

Yeah that is nice, and it also happened to be the prototype / pre-production poster with the backwards stand.

Cool!
I sure hope they reply back, as I find this wicked interesting as well.
I did a bit more searching and found another tweet from them. Looks like they designed more than just display units for Nintendo!
Enjoy your break, KR155E!
C ya when you get back…

Turns out these buttons aren’t buttons after all, they’re Shelf Talkers. Shelf Talkers are basically pieces of advertisements that run along the edge of store shelves. The first picture below shows a store shelf with the necessary holes for mounting such advertisements. The second picture is just an example.
Thanks!
Here’s some scans of the box.
Good question… I’m not sure though.
What exactly is Basic Fun going for with these, ticket redemption games? If so, I can think of a few more that I’d like to see.
Is Skee Ball even part of the Midway Classics? It seems to be in a league of its own with no mention of its series anywhere on the box (unless I’m overlooking it).
I did find this Tetris at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago though…

No problem at all… thank YOU for running my favorite website! 😁👍
Here’s a picture of the poster in a temporary frame. Due to the pandemic that’s currently taking place, I’m unable to get it framed professionally, so this will have to do for now.
