Watermelon Pier Solar HD Kickstarter

[Tanooki]

Oh well, then I won't bother. No Genesis game is worth 3 figures to me and I have it on GoG anyway so I can make a physical version easily enough.

did you guys get your copies yet? I'm curious your impressions.

Nope. Watermelon, the greatest company of all time, haven't even dispatched mine yet. It has apparently been "shipping" for 2 weeks now. Apparently, they don't understand what a progressive verb is.

hmm, I guess all versions are sold out on the Watermelon store. And they don't seem to have copies for sale elsewhere. That was quick.

Pretty funny, I actually got a mail not to long ago saying that my DC version is ready to ship and that I need to confirm my address. Heck, I don't even remember ordering it, but okay.

haha nice. On the flip, I cancelled my pre-order last year assuming it would be readily available. Now kind of wishing I hadn't...

The Genesis one and the guide come back in 4 days on the website some little notice on there says.

I don't know what their idea of 'goodies' it but at $69 shipped it seems a bit expensive even if it's a game, board, chips on board, manual, box, printed art on box. I got schooled in what it costs to assemble something like that. I'm also surprised the guide is $40 too but it's returning as well as I said and covers the HD releases as well. Still though 69 vs the ebay rate going on BIN squatters is a huge discount.

...edit...scratch that DC and all versions go on sale again on the 16th.

oh cool. So there will be more DC copies up for sale soon then. Nice! Flippers already trying to get $75 for em on eBay.

@noise They only temporarily ceased the sale of Pier Solar whilst they dealt with pre-orders and Kickstarters. They were originally due to go back on sale on the 11th (tomorrow), but this has since been delayed to the 16th, due to major shipping delays.

I got mine (Dreamcast) on Friday. Came in a priority box that was pretty big to just be holding a DC game (little to no padding BUT the game itself is in a plastic form-fitted case with a Watermelon seal) so it was bouncing all around. But after three years, it's here.

LOL at the person on eBay with theirs listed at $350.00.

I'd be annoyed just seeing that joker on ebay, but really if anyone pays anything over retail on the games (any version other than the distinct first printing on Genesis) they deserve to lose their money and feel bad about it later if they find out. If you don't research or even try and think before clicking "BUY" you deserve to be a victim of your own habits.

I hate to admit but even at the price they're asking I'm very tempted. I have it on PC through GoG, but now that I'm a Genesis owner it has caught my eye (as has Phantasy Star 4.)
