I really really hope that we can see some high quality kits hit the market someday. I’ve got a Famicom gameboy micro that’s perfect, but I had to scavenge parts from two other micros to get it there. I’ve been looking to fix up the other two and sell them but there’s nowhere to get good shells, buttons or faceplates. Hopefully we’ll see it one day!

Hi Elliot, long time viewer here, i just did a gameboy micro restoration using the red shell you have here (although i added a black face-plate to look like a pokemon centre edition) and its just to give you a heads up for the plastics in order to get an accurate colour match i used Ford aporto red body spray paint and after 4 coats it looks like it was made for it. so if you fancy doing a restoration or maybe making your own famicom version then go for that paint, it works amazingly and just looks the part.

@vjpearce4 жыл бұрын
I was thinking of buying a replacement shell for the micro as I picked the pink one up at a bootfair with original box, and charger for £5. Plays well but it must have have been dropped on the floor at one point as the faceplate has multiple scratches and scuff marks and the shell also has a few minute scratches. It was still a steal at that price.

This is the first review of these I’ve seen, so thank you for taking the time to do it. What I’m really waiting for is the plastic middle section you mentioned. The tabs that hold the faceplate on are broken on mine. Holding out hope that they will manufacture those too soon.
@TheRetroFuture6 жыл бұрын
I think a lot of people are waiting for that, the tabs are so easy to break and over time the whole plastic becomes really brittle.

Why is no one selling good micro faceplates? The only ones in stock are always those same blue/red/chrome/black and clear ones that are trash. I have seen other designs before. One looked like a NES controller. Those are always out of stock.
