Reminds me of NES controllers being used as belt buckles. Sure it might look cool to some, but all I can think of "Hey...I could have used that controller".

Flasks also usually carry between 6 and 8 ounces. I can't see this thing holding 2 ounces. Not being a debbie downer, just saying this doesn't sound like twenty clams well spent.
Right, so this one lacks the ergonomic curves to fit alongside one's hip and appears to hold less alcohol.

Nah, not thinking I'm a rule breaker. Plus, it's easier to pull out a flask that's in your coat pocket than it is to get the one in your back pocket while in church. :wink:

No, apparently they're making custom molds for these.

From what I read they are trying to get money to have moulds created from the final design. Unfortunately many NES Golf carts and SMB Carts were probably harmed in the making of this prototype.
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

I'm not putting anything into my body that came out of an LJN cart.

This is proof positive that not everything needs a kickstarter.
