    Gotta say... the Pikachu variant's the most impressive to me. Whereas all the others are mostly recolors, the Pikachu one actually adds something to make it stand out. Pikachu etched on the right side, his foot as the reset button, and a Pokeball as the power switch. THAT is how you theme a console.

    I know this post comes late but if you didn't find the information you were asking about I might be able to help. As you suspected the Rose and Ultra versions of the consoles officially were never produced for purchase. Ultra 64 was the code name for the system but simply became the Nintendo 64 when it finally released. As far as the rose color it was a variant along with 11 others that were made as prototypes for Nintendo of Europe. Out of these 11 came the Funtastic series with rose being omitted. I couldn't find anything about the N64 with atomic purple controller going for crazy money (the highest I saw was $1,400).

      I had one, 2nd and Charles bought mine from a 12 year old me for $20. I can’t believe stuff like that isn’t illegal. There should be a law saying you must disclose the price of an item if you’re making an offer and the seller of the item is unaware of the value. Especially if it’s from a minor or an elderly person, and especially if you’re not an individual buyer.

    All the prices are BNIB. Most can be found used, without box but all accessories, for around $100 or less. with box, add $20 or so.

Some of them, my cousin gave it to me because he didn't want them anymore. I don't have them anymore though. I lost them all when I moved. Never realized they were rare.. hm.

    I remember Nintendo having a contest where you had a chance of winning a n64 gold controller through Nintendo Power. All you had to do is complete Zelda Link to the Past in one sitting without saving your game and having a final score of 000. You took a picture of the TV with the 000 showing on the screen.

    I have the Australian Pokemon Stadium Battle Set console and controller, but I believe mine came with Pokemon Snap in what was called the "Pokemaniac Bundle". We purchased it sometime in 1999 or 2000, and it took a hammering over the years, being constantly played from new until the console stopped working in 2012. It was repaired with Nintendo ex-service spare parts and cleaned in January of this year, and it now looks and functions like a new one again. Wouldn't trade it for anything at this point. Still my favourite console by far.

      Wouldn’t think that anyone would put a video game console on their grocery list. And even if a person planned on getting a new console, chances are they went to an electronics store, toy store, or video game retailer to pick it up. Not sure if it’s universal or if the same coincidence would apply to that grocery chain, but often when I do look at toys at grocery stores, when they do happen to carry popular action figures or some actual quality toys besides the typical cheap and generic or poor imitation toys usually found there, they are also priced higher than the toy store sells them for. Given the typical cheap quality toys carried at grocery stores and the higher markup, that alone could dissuade people from purchasing a game console at those stores. Also, I would imagine many people probably assumed they were bootleg, imitation, or counterfeit systems and not the real thing.

I was not born yet during the N64 era, but I have one that my brother or sister probably had. Where N64 games sold in those giant boxes? Also I have a purple see through controller but a standard N64

    I have a purple see through controller like the one you mention in that Ebay sale. It has the rumble pack built in, and I have the console it came with. Is this what you were talking about, or is that common? I was only 1 when the N64 was in its golden days, and my console was a gift from my neighbor. I'm 17 now, and I'm still in contact with him. I don't know how he got it, I never really cared, so it could very well be through Ebay. Should I contact him, or does everyone have controllers like this?

    As a Transformers fanboy, I am curious; are there any instances of Gold Plastic Syndrome (or the equivalent) for any of these? Some Transformers figures are extra difficult to obtain because it turns out certain plastics don't last as long. Specifically, Gold Plastic Syndrome refers to a kind of plastic (usually gold, heh) with a metallic sheen. It isn't all such plastics, but just a certain process that - long story short - deteriorates over extended periods of time. Even MISB figures can break inside their packaging, because the plastic itself begins to degrade.
    So... just wondering if anything like that applies to some of these N64s. Kind of doubt it since I would assume you would have said something, but GPS was a rumor among TF fans for years before it was confirmed, and while the basics are understood the-powers-that-be still have not been able to fine tune production to totally eliminate it from more recent releases.
