WOW!
$15,298 bids overall.
$4,829,64 made it into the top 11 ;-)

Congratulations!
Well played, Kevin ;-)

Looking forward to put it at the end of my Larry line ;-)



Since all bids are over $400 does that mean we can choose the available number one by one starting with the highest bid? :-)

Awesome Job Kevin!

So happy to have snuck in and nabbed a LE.

I have a thing with #23 (quite a few LE's with that number) so would be nice if I could get that one. I understand I am in the bottom 3, so will see how it goes. Be gentle people

While I'm disappointed that I didn't win one, My wallet is thanking all of the other bidders. Sheesh! Those are some crazy prices! Congrats to Kevin and all the winners! I can't wait to get my hands on the regular release!

I feel the same way. This LE would have been nice to have, but my wallet too, is thanking myself and the other high bidders.

Exactly.  Part of me regrets not winning one but I bid a true max of what it as worth to me.  Regular release will suffice and my wallet will be happy

Yes. I'm sending each winner a message asking what number they request, one by one, so the process is taking a long time since I have to hear back from each person before moving on to the next.

Stay patient, everyone.

Any updates on the numbers given to each winner? I know you were waiting on others to pick. Hopefully I landed something decent from the ones left.

I'm left waiting on a single person and he's holding up the process, unfortunately.  You got your #1 choice though.

Any love for my #1 pick?

Oh and will the charge on my CC show up as escort or will it be discrete? Regardless, you have funds!

The #1 is being presented to Brad, who did all the graphics for the game, sorry.

Oh, sorry.  More bad news, three people in front of you picked your top three number choices, so I had to settle for your 4th.  Sorry.

If anyone else wants to know their numbers please PM me.

Jordan, LOL! Man, every last one of those went over $400. That's batshit insane. I guess it's a $50 vanilla RetroUSB edition for me.

I'm personally interested in the homebrew beer though. That's gotta be a first. Shame Beat 'em and Eat 'em didn't come with one. If anyone's brave enough to open their beer, be sure to do a review by popping it on camera and describe the flirst sip on live video and upload the results to Youtube...

Awesome to see this release come to fruition! Great work Khan! I'm stoked. Count me in on the non-LE release (whenever you decide to release it). If retroUSB is doing the release, a pink shell (if it could be easily created) would be awesome to house the cart in!!

I'm guessing it can't be dubbed "Leisure Suit Larry" due to copywrite? Similarly, the classic Larry theme song? Can it be used, or is that a copywrite-type issue too?

PS. also, props to "k0SH3" for the photo of the Larry collection posted above. So many memories!
