So, we went shopping at Value Village today (a place similar to Goodwill), and after finding some shorts and stuff, I saw a Game Boy case behind the glass in a place they had valuable items like jewelry. So of course, I asked the person working there if I could see what was inside of it, and it turns out, it was a red Game Boy Pocket! I've always wanted one of these, and it was only $3, so I asked my mom if I could get it, and she agreed. :D

It also had some instruction booklets inside it, and a Star Wars Game Boy Game.

Here's some pictures.

Gah, my iPod takes crummy pictures. I'll upload better ones later.

I'm excited, but unfortunately I can't play any of my games with it yet since they're at my dad's and I'm at my mom's right now.

My Gameboy pocket was transparent and purple. Was. Dad sold it. :(

Nice find though, $3. You got a good deal.

That's actually called a Game Boy Color, Missy :P My brother has one like that. My own GB Color is that neon/lime green shade.

O_o Whoopsies.

Umm... Please excuse my Gameboy-naming errors which are probably partly due to alcohol.

I had both the GBC and the Gameboy Pocket at any rate. One was transparent purple and one was transparent green. I'm pretty sure the purple was the GBC.
