$1000 Toyota GameBoy Pocket FULL Restoration!

Fun fact. This gameboy now costs more than the toyota it came with.

Hahah probably! 😂

[@lightrust4680]

Unless it s was a Supra or AE86 🤷‍♂️

[@Malsherz]

I'd argue it was more expensive than the Toyota at the time it was released. I mean the Toyota was included with the Gameboy, not the other way around. :P

Toyota! Also, something I'd recommend to reduce scratches on plastic screen/screen covers is Meguiars Plast-X, it's intended for cars, but works great on any glossy plastics. Just use masking tape and tape off the area around the screen so you don't polish the textured finish (including over the slight gaps between the screen cover and body, so polishing compound doesn't get in there). This will make it look much better and you'll keep it 100% original. Even just a couple minutes of polishing will make a big difference. (Polish by hand, don't use tools)

How about still owning both the game boy and the car it came with

Imagine if you imported a JDM Toyota Supra or MR2 and found one of these in the glovebox when it arrived.

[@potate_overlord]

I enjoy these types of refurb videos, they make me relaxed. Also: Toyota.

[@Johnpamonkas]

Now you need to buy and restore the actual Toyota that came bundled with this GameBoy, just for the sake of completion ;)

[@lespaulpanhead025]

Toyota I just found both your channels a few weeks ago and I’m hooked. These videos are pretty satisfying to watch. I kinda wanna get my hands on a Gameboy Pocket, I had one as a kid and it was my very first Gameboy so the nostalgia is there.

[@Rat_Atouie]

where is your heart he lied

[@takarahayashi4124]

btw, to help with the discolored plastic, use equal parts baking soda and water, scrub it into the plastic and let it sit for 15 to 30 mins, wash off, and repeat until desired result. You can use this as well to clean off stained food storage containers, like you know how pasta stains it red and just wont come off? it works for cleaning car headlights as well, basically any plastic.

[@DarkPlagueStudios]

Honestly, its been great seeing you get better at these sorts of restorations. Previously I've commented on things you've done wrong, but in recent videos you've consistently done a great job. Especially great to see a rare gem like this 'toyota' gameboy restored. Great work! I hope you continue to improve as you have been!

They should make a switch or switch lite that’s clear and GameBoy themed maybe bundled with a remake of a classic GameBoy game something simple like Super Mario Land or Tennis or Alleyway just a cool little nostalgia trip.

[@johneygd]

I just can’t believe it, was that just all what nintendo did, stamping a toyota brandname on their gameboypocket? I cannot imagine doing anything cheaper like that but still charging $1000 or so ,just for a stupid brand name, this is beyond believe.

See.. when two Japanese companys like each other very much, they create these ummm.....things.

[@trapgoth268]

Toyota dealerships in Japan also offered limited Sega Dreamcasts, which might be even rarer

[@crunchyfrog555]

It was a common thing in Japan to give away stuff like this with cars. They were just a means to curry sales. And as we see with this example, it would just mean Toyota getting a bulk lot of Gameboys and having minimal change (the logo) being appended to them. It was a particularly common tactic globally to offer sweeteners like this - it was a very 80s thing. In Britain we used to have all sorts of stuff like petrol being sold garnered you tokens to swap for all sorts of household items. Seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur these days.

You might want to invest into a ultrasonic cleaner. They’re very gentle and thorough. When I worked in a repair shop we cleaned the boards in a special solution afterwards if they were corroded but there are a lot of uses like cleaning the actual case in a non destructive way.
