Hi guys

New member here, longtime member of NintendoAge

I'm trying to encourage interest in SFC box protectors. I had these made up in November, but the response has been less then expected. I would really like to bring Famicom and possibly J-64 protectors to the community too but the limited sales of SFC causes me to hesitate.

So that's why I came here. I think the word just needs to be spread about these. I figure if the market is there for SFC, then FC will be there too.

I've got them on eBay though better priced through www.videogameboxprotectors.com

Cheers,

UPDATE:  7/19/2012 NEW FAMICOM PROTECTORS!

Welcome to the famicom world forums :)
Hope you have a nice time here
Now about your protectors they are really nice :) I will buy some in the future when i have boxed games :)
Oh and you can put 2 famicom games in one nes box :) and they will fit with no gabs or extra space so if you have games that are with sequels for example smb1 and smb3 or lode runner 1 and 2 you can use the nes box protectors :)
And yeah spread the word about it... when my site is done i will also put a link :)
Good luck with your sales
I am back everyone :)

Thanks,

You may be thinking of the Atari 26/52/7800. Those will fit 2 FC games. NES is to Small

Here's two in Atari provided by a Nintendoage member:

Ooh, when I get a few more boxed SFC games I'll have to buy some. I always fear that they'll get mashed a little if I display them on a shelf, so I have all my boxed games stored away. :(

Will you ever have exact fit Famicom box protectors? I bought a copy of Kid Dracula that had a form fitting plastic shell which is great! The modified cases that hold 2 FC boxes looks tacky to me, but it does serve a purpose to some people.

Famicom boxes came in many different sizes, so it's impossible to make one one-size-fits-all protective box.

I plan to make one for the cardboard famicom boxes sized  approximately 10cm x 2cm x 14 cm

Hi All,

I can vouch for Jim's box protectors.  I am an avid user of the NES, SNES, N64, GEN, and SFC box protectors.  They work great, and I can't wait for the FC and J-N64 cases!

The use of box protectors really makes my boxed collection pop!

Cheers.

I've only got one boxed Famicom game, but several NES. I'm glad to see this, and I'll have to put an order in.

These are hard cases or like a hard plastic that can bend a little?

jimpoleshuk

Flexible, they are 12 mil or .3mm PET plastic.

Thanks
