1977/1978 General Mills Death Star electronic game

[Michael Sith]

I really like this, but going to let it go, just looking for a bit of advice

Evil bay, have these sold on there :?:

It's in good condition and works, there is no box or instructions, but functions all lights flash and noises for game play
No cracks or chips on the central Death Star dome

On the back it's stamped into the plastic 1978

Nice X wing decals and cool when you reach the Death Star and the musical SW theme plays in electronic tones
Really liked it when I got it because its so early

Would look to trade but to be honest wouldnt know whats best sell or trade,

Just looking for advice

Not too sure on a value but looks like a boxed version didn't get any love at £32

It sickens me that there's no love for this.

I would love to have such a game, but I want it with a box and instructions.

But it looks great :wink:

Not sure in the UK...but fairly common boxed over here and a loose one would struggle to get you $25.00.

Cheers guys

No worries, I really like it why I bought it

Keeper :wink:

 

[tiefighterboy]

Keep it......it's an awesome part of the 70's

Will do, I need to buy some more pieces to go with it now, as it is a bit alone, have to collect some more games :lol:

 

[tiefighterboy]

Games and even puzzles are cheap and fun at the same time. I own several. :wink:

I will pick up the battle command game, and it will go ok with the darth telephone I have, not vintage but like it, and it works
It's one of these

Cool phone :shock: Are there more electronic games than the one you have ?

 

[Michael Sith]

There are a few but the one I have is pretty early, this one is easily picked up boxed as well
This was 79 though Kenner, where the one I have is earlier and GMF

I've got to agree with Todd, that's a keeper, Mike! I love to see stuff like this... surely it will only be a matter of time before the oddball stuff rises in value, what with greater interest from new collectors after the Disney announcement? Afterall, there was only so much of this original product produced from the late 70s.

Great video on Flickr there, too... you're a demon at those controls, you should be known as Cool Hand Mike :wink:

 

[Michael Sith]

Cool hand Mike :lol: :lol: don't think so

Yes I'm going to keep, not about value really, I've got to stop buying on impulse though and try and keep to ROTJ and beater mocs, and vehicles, and....and..... :roll: :lol:

Went out today, there was a mint Flash Gordon annual for £4. Couldn't find a date on it, but on front leaf it was 12' 6. If I recall that's about 66p in today's money....think I might go back and pick that up

Get it mate, you know you want to :twisted:
Seriously I've passed on a few things over the years that I'd wished later I'd picked up (and even the next day its been too late). Life's too short for regrets of course 8). Reckon you are right in keeping the Death Star game as well.
