is this one rare? never heard of one myself and looking at the bidding this must be one of rare GameCube? would love one but I already have one and don't think missus will be impressed if I get another GameCube... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8128872113
There was only one made. Ichiro and Hideki Matsui had to paper-scissors rock for it. I forgot who won. :smt067
Buy it for 320 bucks...no hassle/stress.... http://www.gamechoiceclub.com/search.asp?subcategory=Console&category=Gamecube
If my memory serves me correctly It came with a matching baseball shirt as well... I have checked Lik-Sang + Game Choice Hong Kong as I thought they had one/some....there is another far east trader that I am sure had some but can`t remember who it is....and I bought something from them :-( DOH!...above link goes to the site :smt009
Thats definitely the last special edition cube I would be thinking of picking up. It's just minging... oh yeah and the Gundam one... just terrible...
At least it wasn't a "proper" official one, same as that shite F-Zero one(s) or even the ChuChu Rocket Dreamcast. I don't care if it was for an official competition or not, some garage paint job does not give it ghetto chic.

I think you're doing the Airbrush company in Germany that did the Chu Chu Rocket (and the others) a bit of an injustice!...:smt045 ....the paint work on their DCs is absolutely astounding and more detailed than any Sega Dreamcast with the exception of the Maziora and Divers. I do agree though they're not official production release DCs so have limited collector's value except perhaps as pretty damn impressive looking machines......
What? What!!! No no nooooooo!!! Are you mad? The G-Generation Limited Edition Gamecube is the best of the bunch.
I admit that their work is good, but I see work just as good, if not better on the sides of buildings, and even on PSX's in my local 2nd hand store. It's horrible... now the pale green one for "that RPG I forget the name of as its so late", is nice. Hell even the generic "spice" 'cube has more class than a generic Gundam "ltd" paint job.[/quote]
Haha way to bump a smokin old thread... but to answer your question, I just took a look at my HT console and it says it's made in Japan. Be careful buying these, they are notorious for yellowing, so ask for detailed pictures.
To continue to old thread retrieval, I have one and it's recently started to go a nasty yellow colour, I'd always advise a boxed one.
