Yes, I saw his boxed flagman auction (which was later withdrawn). But he's not really active. In fact, he told me a year or so ago that he would like to sell his collection.

That means there's actually 4 that I know of. Mine, Taki's, One in the collection where I bought it from (He had 2) and Ramrodius's. I remember ramrodius buying that one, from ebay, 2 or 3 years ago. I'm pretty sure it was loose at the time, though, he must have transplanted the box.... Andy.

Hi everyone, Ramrodius here. As most of you can probably see by my Flagman auction I am still active, I'm just gradually selling off my collection. If any of you were wondering why I had to pull the Flagman auction first time round, it's because eBay doesn't allow you to add pictures to an existing auction any more. So I delisted and relisted with the pics. Re. the White Spitball. Initially, well a few years ago, I was sceptical about whether the white Spitball was genuine. In fact, I think that I even suggested the way in which I thought the game was created. I managed to get hold of one and it is definitely the real deal. Mine definitely did not come from eBay though, it was a private sale. Otherwise I'm sure that I would have had to pay a lot more for it ;D I'd like to offer a few pictures but unfortunately I don't own a digital camera I'll try to borrow one in the coming weeks but I feel that it may be sold before then. I've had a few decent offers and I've got a big holiday coming up which is part of the reason the Flagman's going. I'm still collecting the Gameboys but I just felt that it was a bit of a waste having a full G&W collection sitting in a drawer merely being tested every 6 months. I'm in no rush to sell but if anyone is interested in a particular game (except Egg, Mario Juggler or DK Circus - they've all gone) then just email me at ramrodius@hotmail.com Ramrodius

OK, so it wasn't Ramrodius then, who bought one off ebay. It was definitely a UK buyer, though. I'll look through my archives.......I remember it being cheap, though I think it was £50-75, that sort of area. Andy. So that brings the total to 5!

Well I bought it off someone in the UK so it could have been the eBay winner I suppose.
The figures don't tally though which points to the fact that I got a good deal ;D

Right, I found the details of the other white spitball I saw on ebay. The buyer's name was Rob Walton, the auction ended on 9th December 2000 and he paid the equivalent of £30. The serial number was S1389220 and it was loose. Ramrodius' game on his website is boxed, although I don't know if it was bought that way. Ramrodius - perhaps you could tell us whether you bought the game boxed, and whether the box is any different to a standard one. My White one is loose and the serial number is S1387548, my silver one is S1059071. Interestingly, both the white serial numbers are HIGHER than any listed on Mike's FAQ. So, anyway, there are 5 white ones that I know of, then. Andy.

Hmm, there goes the theory that Nintendo created the white spitball sparky first only to decide later to sell it in a silver coating.
I have the feeling that the white spitball must have been part of a prize or limited edition or something but I don't have anything to prove it..

Yeah, the plot thickens.... I reckon Taki may know a little more about it than I do, does anyone wanna ask him? I'll try and trace mine back through the guy I bought it from. Andy.

Hi Andy & co,
I've already spoken to Taki about this previously and he didn't seem to have any info on it!
Never Mind.

There was a thread somewhere which contained loads of 'baby talk' but I didn't want to hijack someone elses thread with this off-topic post, so I thought this would be the best place to put it. The latest addition to my 'collection' ;D Model-no: OC-04 Name: Olivia Cole Release date: 14-05-2004 ;D ;D Andy

Great pic Andy. Olivia is a lovely name, Karen and I were going to call our latest girl, Katie - Olivia! But due to the fact that Rebekah was supposed to be Katie, Katie got Katie instead and not Olivia If we have a 3rd girl, Olivia will be the name. Paul p.s. Is she your 1st?

Thanks Paul
Yes, Olivia was easily my favourite name when we started looking through names books. It's supposed to be one of the most common girls names but I don't know anyone else with it.
Yep, she's our first. Isn't she a cutie!? Andy.
