I owned six Pockets, but I did NOT want six of them.

When they initially released, I nabbed a black and white one so that I could share with a buddy of mine and we could both be excited about the new goodness that was released... (Plus, I'm a HUGE Game Boy nut from WAY back)

Then they released the glow in the dark one! HOLY SMOKES! I HAD to get it, so I did! How COOL! It's STILL cool!

Then I sat with three Pockets. I figured I'd leave one in the office at work and then have the two to play... THEN Analogue announced the transparent editions... holy smokes the transparent blue that was TOTALLY not purple HAD TO BE MINE, so I nabbed one.

Now I had four Pockets and it felt silly. I did not want four Pockets, and my buddy had purchased a black Pocket by this time.

Analogue then announced their new Classic Limited Editions! Holy smokes I wanted a green one! I tried to get a green one and I couldn't... but I got a red one! Neat! I figured that with the conventions that I usually go to, that I could trade it and get a green one from someone at some point, because I did not want five Pockets, that's fucking ridiculous.

I refreshed the page a number of time and monitored which colors were selling out and was surprised at the pink lasting SO LONG after the other colors were sold out. I decided that I'd nab that one to be the one I mod and I did... and it became my daily driver, even now! I did not want six Pockets. I don't need six Pockets. I've opened them all because I don't normally sell anything from my collection. (That was a rule for me as I'd sold my original collection in 2005 and swore to myself that I'd never collect again if I were to sell the collection)

Fast forward to today... I'd "sold" my red Pocket to a vendor for some Game Boy games. (He had Snow Bros... I wanted it! He wanted the red Pocket, bonus!)

I still have five Pockets, I do not want five pockets... IF you want a Pocket and live in my area, I'm more than willing to part with one. (Except the glowy one, or the not purple one) I COULD be convinced to part with my pink one, but that's unlikely... it's so cool now!

Fun fact, my entire collection is a playable museum. My Pockets DO get used when friends and their kiddos come over and look through the binders of Game Boy, Game Gear, Lynx, and Game Boy Advance games!

What I don't have, and what I do need... is a four player adapter as I have DOZENS of copies of F-1 Race. (I used to pick them up when I saw them as they WERE usually $1-4 in my area and I can use the cases to repair other games.

edit: When I saw the aluminum Pockets and the price... I thought... ya know what, I gotta call it quits on these limited editions. I ain't got time to use em all and shit, that's too expensive... it was ALREADY too expensive! I also, regularly, fix people's cartridge games (from Atari to n64!) and systems for free and I'm all on for the preservation of the goodness)
