+evg2000 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have to ask, you say around $250. Is that with shipping? I'm guess if it isn't then shipping to USA would be pretty expensive. I'm guessing between $50 - $75. Without shipping .... The controller is about the same weight as the CV System So I'm guessing around $35 in Express Post with Tracking# and signature included Thanks, maybe not as heavy as I thought, maybe 5 - 7 pound depending on if you are include PS as part of the CV weight:) I was guessing about 12 pounds. Still on the fence. Hopefully I'll make up my mind before you cut off production:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's what I was thinking and I hope I didn't let the cat outta the bag... although your the one that included it in the video! Nah, this was made on purpose So I guess we'll be seeing whole slew of color variations become available for the CV like Nintendo always does with their handhelds. Nah.... we don't plan to make more colors Here it is: The 30th Anniversary ColecoVision System 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's what I was thinking and I hope I didn't let the cat outta the bag... although your the one that included it in the video! Nah, this was made on purpose Here it is: The 30th Anniversary ColecoVision System The dye job looks great, but.... I think it would look nicer with the "Coleco 30" emblem on the front faceplate moved to the right of the Expansion Module Interface to replace the standard Coleco logo and then dye the Expansion door, On/Off Switch and Reset Button to silver as well. The other change that comes to mind would be to do away with the "Coleco 30" emblem on the top sticker between the On/Off Switch and Reset Button and move/enlarge it onto the actual case centered between the cartridge slot and the vents at the back. I know, a helluva lot more work, but perhaps some kind of sticker in the shape of the "Coleco 30" emblem could be affixed to this area prior to dyeing it silver so as to keep that area black and when the dye dries, it could be removed to reveal the solid black emblem. Possibilities are limitless... unlike time and money. So I guess you have to draw the line somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 then dye the Expansion door, On/Off Switch and Reset Button to silver as well. Never mind, after looking at pics of other CVs that were completely dyed, the buttons and door should remain black as it gives a nice contrast between the black and silver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroillucid Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm glad you where able to get someone to dye a console for you J-F.

+cmart604 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 J-F, the silver looks awesome!! I'm definitely in for one. The buttons and door should stay black I think for contrast, and I do agree with Jim that the area between the cart slot and the vents is screaming for a 30th anniversary logo. Cant wait. I guess I need a left handed controller (buttons for the right hand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Some updates! I've reach an agreement with Opcode, Eduardo will port Rollerball for Colecovision! RollerBall will require Opcode's Super Game Module and the Arcade Controller as well for total arcade experience! This is the best 8-bit Pinball you can get and it'll be included with the Arcade Controller! So, the final price for the Arcade Quality Controller is set as $250 including RollerBall pinball game 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelliK111 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) YA!!!! :lust: :lust: I guess that means the SGM will be out next month also :evil: or does that mean the Arcade controller will be pushed back until the SGM is ready to come out Come on JF give us good news Edited February 8, 2012 by RelliK111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 People who personally know me, (ColecovisionZone, ColecoMaster, etc.) could confirm how I LOVE Coleco and specially ColecoVision I could not be more happy to see new hardware coming out for the 30th Anniversary! Opcode's Super Game Module, our Arcade Quality Controller ...and maybe more we never knows! I'm hoping to see the ADAM SD Drive getting ready for the 30th Anniversary of the ADAM wich is coming pretty fast by the way This will be a wonderfull Colecovision year with all that stuff coming out! Team Pixelboy is also going to release a bunch of games too! .... Maybe other programmers will get something out ready to celebrate! Really, this an exciting year if you love the Colecovision! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariBrian Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 if its getting ready in march and shipped sometime shortly after will the pinball game come with it? it will be unplayable if it does. how could he even get this game done in a month or 2 and get it on cart how is that gonna work?

opcode Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Actually having Rollerball out in March would allow me to have a limited run of the SGM available before DKA is out, perhaps by July or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlepaddle Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Looks fantastic, but too much money for me unfortunately. By the way, buttons on an actual pinball machine would be a couple of inches farther forward, I think, (so you could rest your palms on the corners, for shakability and tilting).

+Yurkie Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 $250 with a game is sounding pretty good. Will Rollerball be CIB, or loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi Yurkie. If original Coleco style, then loose. Can all we others buy RollerBall CIB. ? If you only sell few Arcade Controller and have 80 RollerBall cartrides left. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 You know, even with the game, I don't know if I could afford $250, though it's tempting ($50 less and I'd probably be in). What might seal the deal, though, would be a bundle with the SGM, controller and the game for some type of packaged price. Did I miss how the shipping would work with the arcade controller? Does the $250 include the shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
