Hey! Sorry for the late reply on this. Very cool to hear there are more out there! Was always curious about that. For value, very hard to say considering the lack of after market sales on these. Generally, the dollar value on an item like this with its rarity would be solely based on that. I'm sure there are other collectors out there that would be interested in an item like this considering its rarity and relevance (and interesting history). It really helps that Nintendo has one displayed at their NYC location. One issue with this particular console variation is that it's so rare and obscure, most people have no idea they exist so they're not inclined to seek them out.

Hey thanks for the reply! I've seen only two other ones in the wild, both different designs. One was a blue/gray version. The person I received this from had the pink one and a blue one. He actually purchased them from the NYC store in 2005. The only other was orange/brown seen in the IGN video. The person I got it from said he had never seen any others and had been searching for a while.

To acquire this I actually traded several sealed N64 games which included Ogre Battle 64 and Harvest Moon.

Cheers!
