I found it on eBay, it was released for the celebration of the 500th Famisu Magazine, and it's in sale for US$ 400. There are only 5000 of them, so they are very rare. The model is F-02.

 

5000 units? I wouldn't call it very rare... and I don't know if $400 really sounds right for this. I don't know, that's just me though.

 

I know someone who shot it for about 120$ on ebay.de.
Its not that rare (5000 units are a lot for a limited system. This may be more than all jpn xbox consoles ever sold...^^ ). Like the other Famitsu LE (Model F), its neither rare nor outstandingly expensive.

I think the price's main argument is the signature.

 

Anyway, $400 for a gameboy? It's just too much for it. I wouldn't spend so much for it.

 

beautiful little machine. 400 is asking for too much though. You can buy a 'more exclusive' machine with that money, including a 64DD and a couple of games with it.



Engrish

 

Engrish, or brilliantly hidden adult humor?

It says playing with somebody is better than playing with yourself, then mentions jacking to that girl using your junction cable

I think famitsu wanted kids to engage in "recreational pursuits" beyond video games

 

such as banging chicks! go famitsu! xD

 

The one I picked up at Super Potato for about £15 (3000 or so yen) is looking like quite a bargain signature or not but sadly, like mine, this seems to be missing the link up cable.

I wonder if that was skeleton too?

 

400USD? I can't even get over 200USD for my blue Hello kitty Dreamcast and that was only made in 1500 units (or so ive heard).

 

Famitsu gb light isnt that rare or that valuable, in fact most of the gameboy lights are pretty reasonable to find.

The rarest out of them all is the toys r us skeleton yellow version. In 6 years of searching i have only ever seen it twice & both times unboxed.

I have seen all the others a lot of times.

 

"Jackin' to that girl with the junction-cable!"

..wow

 

Hehe, but if it had been completed with the original box inserts I don´t think there had been any problem to sell it for 200 usd on the swedish boards (have you tried Tradera?). Nice to see you here btw!

 

I remember reading about this in import magazines. Wanted one so bad!
