The "Starlight Gold" GameCube

Exactly, they are collectables. Most of the airbrushed systems are OOAK anyway.

 

Uhh did anyone else notice this in that auction posted earlier in the thread?

"This item includes:
Gamecube Orange Console"

Hopefully a typo lol

 

He has the gundam wave bird

 

Is this starlight gold? Or a really strangely faded Platinum? (Sorry for bumping a old thread, but for some reason I have a really hard time telling the difference of this gold in pictures.)

Edit: Whups here are the pictures

 

The pictures don't work.

 

Eh, I bit the bullet and gambled. Hopefully it's the right color. It has no box, controller, or manual, and it probably doesn't work, which might be just perfect for me. Clean it up and put it in the display case.

 

I can pick one up in Japan, hit me a message if you after one.

 

yup U got it, congrats! The condition seems amazing for a product of 10years old!

 

It does seem like a Starlight Gold Gamecube. I don't think platinum cubes yellow like that.

 

Ok good to know. When it arrives I'll try to post a picture next to my platinum GC to be sure. I don't think I've ever seen a compare picture online between platinum and starlight gold.

 

I forgot to post this earlier, but I think this photo would help people see the differences of the Nintendo "precious metal" colored consoles.

Maybe it's just me, but I really don't like gold coloured consoles, I think they look kinda tacky. I don't know why manufacturers make them.

 

Well some goldish colors can look good, for example i like the color of the new gold "champagne" iPhones
i thinks it's classy without being too "bling bling"
but it's surely a matter of taste after all

 

Great photo, thanks!
