Great! I bought the original Famicom cases relased 4 years ago but now they are in very bad condition so I need a replace.

I hope that they will also reproduce the Nintendo Game & Watch cases that were part of the original series released by Banpresto for UFO Catcher (crane games)!

You can get these from vending machines in Japan for $1. They've been available for years.

Why have you not converted the price into Kyrgyzstani Som. Not all your readers are from Bosnia, Herzegovina or Japan you know!

Looks more like a Famicom controller than a NES one.

Nerd rage!

That's about $30 USD/€20 for those of you having trouble with the Googles.

#5 @Cory well, personally I trade in-kind, so that's goats, chickens, etc. €20 trades to roughly a brace of coneys. I have had trouble getting the Cable company to accept my payments. I have suspicions that they're vegetarians, so I'm going to try 10 pounds of tofu next month. Gotta find a container to mail it in...
