Missed it again; I wish I didn't have a life. :-\

Looks like there are Sudokus for sale now; sold out already also.  Oh well, didn't want one anyway.

That Sudoku...I don't get what all the fuss is about. For collectors, it would've been nice to pick up the original version CIB. But this one...blah.

I'm kinda surprised other repro sites aren't yet offering the NWC for sale. It's not like bunnyboy can claim the copyright. :P

Patent pending. :D

NGD seems to be getting his grubby hands on every single one of these & their variants. I think he's gone mad.

Variant collectors...

Me crazy :D never :P By nature this stuff is collectible.  Depending on how many get made they might be worth a great deal in the future.  Plus Sudoku is like a different game almost with a bunch of new features on the new ones.  Has a pause feature now, and actually has new orignal music with it as well which the orignal did not.  Plus I want to help support this new area of the NES community as well cause I want new projects like this to continue when people realize how successful they can be, then everyone wins :D

But don't you see? Bunnyboy has made the NWC available to the general public now, & it's people like you who turn it into another pipe dream for the rest of us.

Tell me, how many NWCs & Sudokus have you bought?

Except people who can't get one because someone keeps buying multiple copies with the intention of personal profit in the future.

kite200

why doesnt bunnyboy just stop you from buying them, there should be a 1 per person strict limit
ステキ

It's not NGD who's buying these all; it's the fact that many people who do buy 2 copies each & it adds up.

A dude at NintendoAGE has an extra: HERE.

I bought 1 powerpak, 1 powerpak lite, 2 NWC's and 1 Sudoku blue and then 1 of the CIB Sudoku from Al himself so it  is not like I am buying loads of them to set on or something, I would never do that.  The main reason I have 2 NWC is so I can have competitions with my friends on 2 TV's at once.  But like it or not, anything like this is going to become collectiable.  Now if he makes 10k of these maybe not, but if just makes a few hundred  before he gets tired of it or gets shut down then people will want to seek them out and pay top dollar.  If I was trying to make money off it I would have simple but it on ebay and sold it for several hundred bucks without any problems.

I in fact asked bunnyboy before I bought more than one to make sure it was ok with him first and he said he didn't care at all in fact.  You all will just have to keep hit refresh on his site like I did till they became available for sale again.  Seems like the supply is creeping up to the demand though so after 1 maybe 2 batches they will prob be for sale in stock on his site soon.

You bought a Power Pak Lite? Do you even have a CopyNES?

If people really are buying 2 NWCs to play against someone else why don't they get the other person to buy it?  That would work.

I don't have the time to sit at my computer hitting refresh every few minutes so I can buy something before all you collectors hoard them away.

NationalGameDepot

I don't have a copynes and can't seem to get my hands on one, not from lack of trying though.  With rumors of a USB Copynes in the works I will prob just hold off for now.

My other friends like to play NES but don't collect at all.  They just come over to my house and play sometimes.  Would be a long boring competition if you had a lot of people waiting in line to play, 2 just works better

You don't have to set and hit refresh all the time.  The site says when the next batch is predicted to come out here http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?productID=146  July  18th You just have to watch it around that day or the next. 

I don't understand why you say "you collectors"  you are one as well  ;) I collect and game just like you.  Has nothing to do with who has the most, we all enjoy it the same or we wouldn't do it.
