COMPLETE GB/GBP/GBC/GBA NTSC-U SYSTEMS LIST (12/2/10)

[coastercrazy10]

Finally got some money coming in in the next few weeks. I'll be moving this to the B/S/T area soon, but in the meantime if anybody has a spare game boy of any generation they wouldn't mind parting with, send me a PM if you'd like.

To those who have already PM'd me: I will be contacting you in the next few days regarding the items you've offered.

For those of you interested I've narrowed the list of Game Boy/Pocket/Color/Advance variations. My previous estimate of 50+ was waaaay high. I have confirmed the NTSC-U/C release of 36 Game Boy/Pocket/Color/Advance systems and I'm still trying to confirm the NTSC-U/C release for 4 additional systems. These 4 additional systems are as follows:

Emerald Green Imagineer Game Boy Pocket
Yellow Game Boy Advance
Transparent Orange/"Spice" Game Boy Advance
Transparent Red/Clear Red Game Boy Advance

I am leaning towards these being JP-ONLY as well. For starters, I haven't seen any of the listed Game Boys on eBay in the several months I've been looking. Additionally, most transparent variations are JP-ONLY and the two-non-transparent ones look very strange and typically Japan sees the release of the "strangely colored" systems, for lack of a better term. Check them out:



If I ever come across any of these variations on eBay I will be able to research them further but for the time being I don't have the ability to confirm or refute their North American releases. If anybody knows anything about these four Game Boys please let me know

for all it's worth, the only Spice GBA I've seen was Japanese.

That certainly does help. I'm very inclined to believe that it's JP-only, but I'd like to see one on eBay before I pass judgement.

Also worth noting that I forgot an elimination I made: I've updated the OP, my previous post, and my blog with all the information I've found over the past few months.

i dont see you having White listed as a GBA color, I own one and it isnt JP only or anything like that.

I'm pretty sure there was a toys-r-us edition of the GBA as well, blue in color

Arctic = White.

^I know Toys R Us made a midnight blue one but I'm pretty sure it was only JP-ONLY. I will look into it though, thank you.

EDIT: this is the midnight blue color I was talking about:


This is JP-ONLY. However I did find a standard indigo GBA with a Toys R Us logo on the front on the bay:

Apparently that's another one. Thank you.

[noiseredux]

yeah the Toys R Us one I know if is just an Indigo with SMW as a pack-in.

LIST IS DONE. FINALIZED. COMPLETE.

I'm very excited about this. There's a nice even 35 game boys that I am going to be collecting, and I currently have 20 (counting my black original GB with a missing screen surround). The full list is in the OP and has been cleaned up. Finally done with researching...this has taken like 3+ months to figure out. Thanks for everybody's help along the way!
