The wood panel and colors are so perfect. This looks so much like the console I spent so, so many hours with as a kid; I can't stand it. The only way this could have been improved was to somehow work in the orange button of the joystick.
Beyond that, I really love this van and would like to live in it, or at least drive it to the local arcade.
There are six in the line, the Missile Command one is kinda cool, the Pong car looks like a Cheetos delivery wagon, of all the Hot Wheels Atari cars, this is clearly the one to get.
Whoa! Those are cool! I hope they make their way down here! Kids down here will not know what they are.
ReplyDeleteYou know also I do not really collect cars...But these I might.
DeleteReally has to be something cool for me to bite.
DeleteThese are really spiffy, kind of want the Missile Command now.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I caught it on sale . . .
DeleteI have got to get all these!! They could have worked in the joystick button as a translucent colored bubble/sunroof-type thing on the top.
ReplyDeleteThat would have been perfect
DeleteSaw these at K-Mart a few months back they are really nice.
ReplyDeleteThat's where I picked it up, I saw it in the grocery store first and really regretted not grabbing it at the time. When I saw it at K-Mart, there was no hesitation.
DeleteThey're ALL amazing - I can't choose a favourite!
ReplyDeleteFaced with a choice, it'd have to be Tempest.
They're all pretty cool, 'cept Pong
DeleteI saw these in the supermarket yesterday! If I wasn't juggling three cases of soda while the announcement that they were about to close was made, I'd have probably picked these up. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to go back!
ReplyDeleteSaw a lot of them at Wegmans again yesterday, if they end up on post holiday clearance, I'll definitely pick up more.
DeleteWow, that just gave me a flashback of 9-year old (?) me programming goto commands to entertain myself... WOW. Cool blog btw! Makes me think of doing one myself just to "talk" about my toys without the usual crazy looks I get :)
ReplyDeleteCool, thanks. You should definitely start your own blog. This one exists so that a thirty-something year old guy can have show and tell with his toys, do it.
