Thought it would be interesting to compile a list of limited edition and label variants for GB, GBC, GBA, GBP, GBL, and GBA SP. Going to add pictures and info as I go through some of my collection. Feel free to add info and photos as well.

**Anyone that's able to add to the list please feel free to post your photos. Going to revamp the first post by adding members photos in a separate section under the main post. Next to each photo will be the members name and in the top main list members names will go next to the varaints they added. At this point only looking for pictures of variants not yet listed. Any help will be very much appreciated.**

Have been wanting to do one for a long time now. Should be interesting what different variants show up that we may have not seen before. Added a decent handful of GBs tonight to get this started. Have a lot more to picture and post so check back from time to time.

My main focus in my collecting is Gameboy Pockets. I collect them loose so don't have many boxes to contribute but I do have the Glow in the dark Gameboy CIB. The Ocean blue picture I just got off the internet since I don't have the box but I think most people don't know about it and would find it interesting.

Found the listing:

I had run across one this year and missed out on it. Did the same thing and saved the picture.

I don't have photos but there's the original GB with Tetris pack-in (similar sticker to the Zelda and SML 2) and I also got outbid a few months ago on an original GB with F-1 Race pack-in.  The F-1 Race console had a round pink sticker.

 There was also a large blister pack type bundle from Costco I believe.  It included a red GBA SP, Super Mario Bros. 3/Super Mario Advance 4 CIB, a player's guide for that game and a small GBA carrying case.

I have this one:



It was a Target Black Friday special (in 2004 or 2005 I believe).  Anyhow, It included the 101 model, case, charger and the game.  I picked it up later that black Friday as one had been missed in the backroom and the guy was just putting it out.

I was going to try and sell, but I had zero idea on what the value would be outside of the 101 and the game.

Think any GB handhelds that are variants but never came boxed are acceptable. Any variants that came boxed should be pictured that way. Love the Nintendo Power 100 one I still have yet to procure.

I don't see the TRU Pikachu GBAsp on the list.

Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

As they are pictured they are added to the list. This way as you scroll the list the pictures are in the same order as the names. Still need to track down a tub or 2 with GBs.
