I seem to remember that. I think it was in Washington state they found a shipping crate with Virtual Boys in it. Ill have to look for it. I want to say there were Powergloves there aswell.

Yeah, I know they found the VBs somewhere. That's definitely true.

Washington State, Dubai, samething.
And since I started looking for that article, I really want to go home and play my working one. I just need Mario Clash and an eye shield.

Well damn, I stand corrected! I can't believe I didn't hear about this. I have to wonder though, did this actually change the price/availability of Virtual Boys? I've definitely never seen a brand new VB on eBay, and certainly not at any sort of decent price. Did these actually end up out on the market at all? This story fascinates me, makes me want to go investigate old shipping containers!

Pawn Stars is one of my new favorites. I lol'd when the guy tried acting like he knew everything about the VB and then asked for twice its value.
