This is a favourite family movie and we have seen it at least 20 times !! Bring on the surprises Tommy !!

Only the original though!  Not the creppy child molesting looking Wonka Johnny Depp version... or the god awful musical!  Gene Wilder or BUST!

Graphite Black (love that one!)

I was under the impression that graphite was not so popular these days because of the Chernobyl miniseries (and the Joy-con stick drift)... 🤣

Lol then you could "open" the box it came in...but no peeking.  You cant review it until it's out of the box. Hahahaha

Love your video game box openings ...especially when you forget to update your lists

😅

I need to be better at updating my lists, I am so forgetful.  I am drowning in Silent Services for the NES

Haha... I'm not sure how many of those we would sell.  But maybe a sticker "skin" that you can add to the black or white ones. 

 

Although that EP logo would look sweet on the Galaxy Purple!

 

 

I think due to E3 being cancelled that you should bring Paul and come up to Vancity and do EP live with Vic and then you could bring an Amico by my underground lair and I’ll give you guys a tour. 😎

All Hail the gaming wives...they are the real special edition!

I dare any Animal Activist to come after a 13 year vegan about a name. 

 

We had "Cloud" and "Pearl" on the list... but some folks may associate Cloud with "the cloud"... as in Google Stadia. 

Pearl is more "pearlescent" which we are still considering and see what it looks like with a Matte finish.  So might still be on the table later down the road (depending on what it looks like).  Then again... pearls are "unvegan" as well.... so we'll always be pissing off someone at some point. 

 

I had Coconut White on the top of my list at one point.  Thought it was kinda fun. 

 

 

 

Tip.... don't use Cocaine White.  Family friendly and all.

Of course the Cocaine White edition may "BLOW" away all sales expectations!

😋

I like the sound of that!

We actually had that same joke circulating around the office the other day.

That is really super-fantastic!😯

A display sign for in front of my Amico would be great in a couple of months,I have them for all my video game systems.

That one is the perfect combination of the running man and Intellivision/Amico logos.

Superbly done!👍

Console color name change!
 

Check it out... here's an Atari Age exclusive...

 

We are changing the color names of the black and white consoles because we decided that we're going to do them in MATTE finishes (the main bodies) what satin highlights.  They look SO COOL!!!

 

So Obsidian Black and Glacier White didn't work anymore (because those things are very shiny/glossy, etc.).

 

I wanted to keep it nature based for the black & white versions so the new names are...

 

Graphite Black (love that one!)

and

Ivory White

 

It will be in our press release on Tuesday... but thought I'd sprinkle a little info in here for everyone. 

 

 

The Obsidian Black was the one that had the Tron look (Black & Blue), correct?

You could call it "DeLorean White" ... same idea, but a bit more subtle.

so.. the version that Gene Wilder starred in (that the Roald Dahl disliked) *was* a musical.   Gene Wilder was nominated for a Golden Globe for 'Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy' but lost out to Fiddler on the Roof.

Sunrise, sunset.....

Correct.  Although just so everyone is clear... you can change the base lighting to whatever you'd like.  I like the Tron colors the best of course!

The touring "theatre" musical.  Would have said Broadway musical... but it's not just on Broadway.  I saw it in London with my good friend Julie Dawn Cole (who played Veruca Salt in the original movie!).

I'm also good friends with Paris (Mike TV) and Violet (who unfortunately passed away last year. 

Great folks!  And so many GREAT stories!
