I'm looking for one of the stands used to display the NGPC when it was first launched. You know the type; lock's the unit in place with some printed bumph around the edges and (IIRC) a halogen or flourescent light of some form...

I'll be using it to display the pocket to the GBA loving hordes at the RetroVision and Back In Time events during the year.

UK located is better, and will pay any reasonable price...

Cheers
Chris

Good luck Chris.
I've only ever seen one for sale, and that was Ebay about a year ago. I don't think it was too dear, in the region of £50 I think. If your succesful and want to sell it on afterwards please give me a shout.
Cheers !

Well... We do have a backup plan involving some telephone stands and a flourescent strip light but that's a bit too Heath Robinson for my tastes.

And they're not doing *that* to one of my NGPC's!

Cheers

What about approaching 'Game' to see if they have any in a Warehouse somewhere. I know i definately saw some in the EB shops.

Just a thought.

Hmm... I know somebody here in the USA that might have access to one... the seller "cokopebles" on ebay. They are always selling NGPC store display stuff, etc...

Thanks snkneogeousaCTH - have emailed him to find out... Shipping might be expensive from the US ($50-$70 I'd guess - ouch) but it may still be worthwhile.

@2D; Game were utterly useless. I tried two of their shops, one which flatly refused to even try and find out and one who called "the warehouse" only to say that all promotional stuff is destroyed. I may try Gamestation at the weekend...

I know that ArcadeHeaven (in maidstone) used to have some of these and I've emailed them too. I think the independents will be better for this kind of thing.

Here's hoping ;)

Cheers

Big Bruno has one, he outbid me for it on eBay, must be nearly 2 years ago if memory serves me right. Pretty hard to find now, I wish you luck. Pic below taken from Big Bruno's epic collection page.
