Has anyone ever thought that the games were not released in order. During production they were probably mixed up. The only way to know is if anyone has a complete factory box, with all the ORIGINAL games which came in the box. ANYONE? -Matt I think it's virtually and logistically impossible to release the games not in order. sAner

Well I know for a fact that when those NIB Eggs were doing the rounds a little while ago,they all had perfectly fitting Serial Numbers within each other.I never did ask that guy if he had the Factory Shipping Case.There's a thought- A Egg Shipping case fitted with the 10 Original Games all in Serial Number order.How much do you think that mother would get!?

Hello,
I would like to add to this I have a boxed Rainshower that is from Italy. It comes with the original Italian instructions that are MISSING from rudewheels games.
Mine has the red seal on the box (as there other games have) but it was opened long ago. The instruction are a little big for the tray but do fit in the box and they have a black / brown cover.
This means them Rainshowers are not complete and never where completed as they have no seal.
they are not worth £400 - 600 I would say.

I bought my boxed Rain Shower not from rudewheels, so didn't know his/her item doesn't come with English instruction...so, is Rain Shower English instruction rare, do you think?

I have a theory.....
I have also purchased a number of NIB items from various people within a certain country in the UK......
I suspect that a few people stumbled onto a small stock of new items, probably sitting in a warehouse or some large department store etc (lucky ....) May also be a box that had issues (no inst), and was ment to be returned to nintendo etc, but was overlooked etc, anyhow I suspect that they will eventually run out.... the bigger question is should we buy one, knowing that after there gone and market drys up, the price is even lickly to go higher?
creating a copy, even with the origional molds would be expensive..... unless you went into large production... which defeats the purpose.... they would have had to have put in hundreds of thousands to get it into production.
hey, does anyone remember a nintendo shipping container going missing in the 80's, LOL (that is another possibility.....)

Cupnoodleman: English rainshower shouldn't be THAT rare(I saw one sell AGES ago on eBay by itself for $7USD)..

I'd be interested in one at a resonable price...

There's nothing reasonable in the prices we've seen lately though.. Michael

As for rudewheels' Rainshower, the price has been going down recently...I just now won one for 410GBP (US$729). I remember that his Rainshower cost around $960 before. So, in my mind, it is a bargain although it is still not cheap.

Well we can all dream...
Somtimes when theres a bunch of "new" items, people "have" to have it, and push the price up tempararly, even the old ones have a higher market value.... for a while. I think I'll just wait a few months until this rush of new items onto the market has gone...
Hopefully the price will return to somwhere near what it was... we hope :-D
Nelson: yer 410pounds.... whoooaa, BTW thanks for the Donkey Kong, it's sweet... nice and new... even got the plastic film on top :-D
P.S to all *Nelson really (and I mean really) packs his stuff well* It took me over 5 mins to unpack it without damaging the box, lol, there was like 6 layers.

Thanks for the compliment. I'll leave you a positive feedback on Ebay right now. By the way, please drop me an e-mail anytime if you want to buy any more games
And just 5 minutes? S h i t , I'm slipping. My best time for my customer is 15 minutes to open 1 package, but that was for a loose item. Even if I give free packing, it won't be crap packing ;D
By the way, I just sold my NMIB Rainshower with English instructions. I still have 1 boxed Rainshower with french instructions but the box and foam are only in fair condition.

On the topic of Nelsons great packaging, it took me several attempts and 20 minutes to open the package with the 2 boxes he sent me! Not to mention he must have put the name on it 9 times! When it come to packaging - Nelson Is Da Man! ;D ;D

Is Rainshower the rarest pocketsize? I think Fire Attack pocketsize is just as rare.
It would be great if we knew exactly how many of each pocketsize game was released.
