Hornpipe2 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'm on the lookout here in Conway, Arkansas at the local Kroger stores, but haven't seen these pop up yet. I might hide one until after the holidays and then buy it at super discount prices : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroogur Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 *sigh* Okay first it's Kroogur not Kroger. And second I have no paper that i'm aware of. Although Flashback 2's are pretty pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRGilbert Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I was going to post this too but I forgot. I saw that on Friday when we were out shopping, they didn't have them at my local Kroger either. Probably just as well, I have 4 of the damn things.

the.golden.ax Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Not at my Kroger yet! I'll snap a pic if I have a camera on me and I see it. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey85 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The local Kroger here had about 30 come in to go on sale on Thanksgiving at 6am. My grandmother had made noise about wanting one despite the fact that I've repeatedly offered her a bonafide system with whatever games she wanted. Well, I went ahead and got one off of Amazon for $30 shipped that morning and then left to have Thanksgiving dinner at said grandmother's house and she had a Flashback II hooked up to the television. So... now I have a spare Flashback II that I'll likely keep for myself seeing as the one I have now has had a cartridge port added to it.

+thanatos Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 So are they back in production again or something? Or somebody just found a warehouse full? Got one for Xmas like 3 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Rogue Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 So are they back in production again or something? Or somebody just found a warehouse full? Got one for Xmas like 3 years ago. It must be remaining stock. And as we know now, they're pirates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduecrum Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Lafayette, IN stores (known as Payless locally) have a ton of them. I'm waiting for the price to keep dropping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-topdog Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I hope nobody buys these. They are unauthorized reproductions that are taking the profit from Legacy Engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope you wouldn't, if only for the fact that because they're pirate units with cheap components and knockoff chips inside they're being reported as buggy and malfunctioning: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/173494-original-flashback2-sighting-2499/page__view__findpost__p__2164627 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akator Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Even though Marty already linked... I wouldn't recommend one of the Kroger systems. It simply didn't work right, at least 2/3 of the games were unplayable. Even if you are the sort of person who doesn't care if Atari or Legacy Engineering get their money, it still isn't worth it. Even a pirated console should work. That said, I am in the other group who thinks it stinks that I bought a pirated console. I returned the one I bought last week, not just because the console didn't work right. I could have kept it for the "new sticks" which worked fine, but the whole thing left a very bad taste in my mouth. My wife was pissed as well. I am fairly certain that Kroger doesn't know they are selling bogus Flashbacks... but only time will tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
