good stuff. You should squeeze as much dollar out of the community now before we bring back the prices to almost nothing again. Turbob gonna go down in price within next 10 years.

I don't really understand what your objection is, Tommy Vercetti. I mean I haven't priced these things out yet. The prices discussed in this thread were originally delivered by other members as to what they were willing to pay for them. I mean there is only a market for something as long as individuals are willing to pay for a good or service. Would you prefer I spend 6 hours making these things for someone and not be compensated for them in some way? I mean, what is your time worth to you? I'll justify it this way. If you want to make these and give them away for everyone, I'll send you pictures of my designs to eliminate a lot of the guess work. See the reason I can eventually ask for some kind of compensation is that there is interest in having them by others, and because they are the kind of item that is time intensive to make -the kind of time that not many actually want to put in to make them.

I get that everyone is raw about the market of the actual games going up and up and up. I get that that makes us all sensitive, but I've not actually placed a price on them yet and in fact I've repeatedly asked what would be fair to ask for them. I'm not that doucher that's been posting in this forum asking far too much for his turbo stick because he's a jackass gouger. When I do actually price these out, I am going to make a serious effort to make them fair and reasonable. I'll ask you to hold your un-constructive criticism until that point as I really don't see your argument having enough evidence to hold water right now.

I'm a troll by nature, just not here. I'm less in arms that I am being trolled than I am about being trolled incorrectly. lol

All my current plans for bonk related stuff have been temporarily put on hold as I need more materials. Thought I'd make this as I had a lot of white. I don't really want to jump into another game until I finish all the Bonk templates I want. Anyone have any ideas for non-game related but still obey-related ideas? I'm thinking maybe a pair of controllers (TG16 and PCE). I don't think I can do an actual turbo system as it will just be a black blob. A white PC engine might be do-able. Also the NEC or TG16 or Hudsonsoft logos might be do-able.

Bomberman? He's not PCE specific but uses a lot of white. :)

Bomberman has some shades of blue I don't have. I don't have enough trays to make anything from Legendary Axe II either. :(


Got a fully powered up bonk done though. Maybe I'll do a half powered up one as well...

Like you said, just the Turbo or PCE logo would be cool! I also like the controller idea as well.

Did you make just one set of all this Bonk stuff? I forgot what your plans were with selling and whatnot.

I've made 16 different ones so far and aside from the "obey" one, they were all bonk's revenge. I need to make big meat, 2 more flowers (pink and orange), another heart container (fully red), a large red heart, princess za, and possibly the moon and king drool. (Even if I create a king drool and the moon, I already know that they would be too big to try and sell cause they are going to take forever to make and be huge. I'm probably not going to want to make copies of them.). That should complete my set of Bonk's revenge. So 20-25 total pieces in that set. Not sure on prices yet. I can say that certain ones will be very cheap (like $1-$2 each). The hearts and the "obey" one, for instance, are very easy to make and not very taxing on my time. Basically the more colors I have to use on any individual one or the larger it is = more time needed to make it. The bonks and the extended yellow flower have been the most time taxing at about an hour each, and that should be less on future runs as I have the original to work from instead of a grainy picture on my computer. I was also thinking a bulk discount if you want the whole set or a whole subset (think all the pieces of fruit or a full set of life hearts). Not sure how much any of it is yet. I want to finish the set and then make copies to then start assessing prices based on how long it takes me to produce duplicates.

I do have about 6 or 7 extra loose games (tv sports football, side arms, keith courage, and takin it to the hoop) that I have been wanted to create a competition to use them as prizes. Thinking I may add in some of these fridge magnets as prizes as well. lol Problem is: coming up with a suitable competition within the confines of these forums that will get the interest I'd like in it. I think I'll come up with that competition first before I start selling the magnets, and I'm open to suggestions on that.
