Also, your comment suggest there's not a single piece of metal in this thing despite its premium price and appearance. If that's true, paying $250 originally must have stung a bit and felt a little emasculating...
Use tangible scanner and 3D print and install led light and save a bunch
What about the collectability factor? Maybe in 20 years or so, this could actually be worth some money. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but I remember seeing NES games like Krion Conquest and Mighty Final Fight in the clearance bin for $10-15 brand new many moons ago. Oh, if only I had a cheap basterd time machine, I'd be rich

First, to stillen_i30—"3D scan and print"? A child's toy tactic. You cannot replicate the density, the finish, or the engineering with some plastic extrusion experiment and a strip of dollar-store LEDs. What you create may resemble the artifact, but it will never embody it. It's the difference between a paper crown and Odin's helm. One looks similar, but only one carries weight.
And to Guy767—collectability? You invoke NES games as if lightning strikes in every dusty bargain bin. Nostalgia markets are fickle winds, not strategies. Unlike your $10 cartridges, this piece was born with intent, design, and purpose—premium materials, thoughtful architecture, and a brand legacy backing it. It isn't some clearance-rack gamble waiting for luck; it's a deliberately crafted item that has already commanded respect at $250 and will only draw more as authentic examples vanish into the hands of those who actually care.
As for the absurd idea that there's no metal—laughable. If you think a piece of this caliber is just hollow plastic, then you haven't held it, weighed it, or understood it. The reinforcement, the internal mounts, the trim—metal where it matters, weight where it counts. That's why it doesn't feel like a toy when you grasp it; that's why people paid, proudly, without flinching. The sting you imagine? That's just the echo of your own regret for not having one.
So let us be clear: scanning, printing, and half-baked theorizing is for those content to cosplay ownership. True collectors don't mimic artifacts—they seize them, preserve them, and wield them like a title deed of culture and craftsmanship.
In short: your cheap fixes and speculative daydreams are whispers. The real item is thunder.
