Okey Dokey then... http://www.flickr.com/photos/25537037@N07/3461894900/ One site I visited didn't even list the pink label as a variation. But after I posted here, saw another site that said it was common. Still a proud owner, though. Came with my Sears Heavy Sixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've seen a few of those in the wild. They all look very faded--there's really no substance to the colors on those when I see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yep, that's what I mean. At least 400 pixels width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Not the best quality cart...

yuppicide Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Doesn't look pink to me. Looks sun faded. I've had them like that a bunch of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Doesn't look pink to me. Looks sun faded.Could be. On the other hand: both the front and the end label are equally pink. Thanks for the scan. It's perfect. Edited April 22, 2009 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It is interesting that it's a consistent color... I'm still sort of inclined to think it's fading, though. Anyone got a spare not-yet-pink Laser Blast they could set out in the sun for a while? I'd do it, but I don't seem to have a spare at the moment.

I'd do it, but I don't seem to have a spare at the moment. It's pink, and that is its native color. Like Rom said, there would be differential discoloring if it was faded from the sun. What discoloring you see if probably from being stored in a basement or garage. The Pitfall, Freeway and Grand Prix that were in the same lot, showed the same discoloring... just aging, no fading.

Bountybob Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Just got a pink label Laser Blast... rare, not so rare? Edit: 4 teeth! Are you sure that isn't discoluration of a brown label Looks a bit blotchy up close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Are you sure that isn't discoluration of a brown label Looks a bit blotchy up close The other Activision carts from the same lot have the same "blotchiness", but not faded. Here is the lot that came with the Heavy sixer... http://www.flickr.com/photos/25537037@N07/3467811561/ . The Pitfall is very blotchy, but still the original green.

Rom Hunter Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) It looks like a variation. But don't take my word for it: Yep, that's a sunfaded cart. Edited April 23, 2009 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's perfect. I think its some type of fading, as if the yellow in the dye that make the orange in the carts has dissolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems quite possible... like why when you see posters in store windows that have been there a long time, they're only blue and black because the other colors fade. But, then again, it could be an actual variation. I really want to test this out... just need to pick up a spare Laser Blast somewhere. I do have a spare Spider Fighter, guess I could try that for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Someone should set up a cartridge in the sun for the summer with a WEBCAM so we can all watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoyx Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 If you look on ebay, a few pink laser blasts right now. One came out of a pink box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
