Manual: “don’t put the game boy in your pocket” Elliot: *visible confusion*

that purple box is probably one of the most beautiful sights ive ever seen(,:

The quality of the packaging is out of this world. There are more expensive products today that still don't package their products that well. Stellar.

that purple one, my god. looks like it got to you with a time machine straight from the factory.

That writing is indeed the address of the store that this gameboy would have been sold from. It reads: Uni Ozone store, Nagoya, East district, East Ozone town. Unfortunately it seems as though that particular store closed down in 2010. The purchase was made on Sunday the 25th of January 1998. The shop clerk stamped the store's address in on the form upside-down but penned in the date by hand.

That stamped bit on the manual, according to Google Translate is "UNI Ozone store 261 Higashioozone, Higashi-ku, Nagoya." So I think you're right, it's the store.

Mans makes one post about the ifixit toolkit and they sponsor him. Now you're playing with Power™

I love it when you scroll through the comments and someone quotes something in the video and you see that comment at exactly the same time as they say it in the video

"I have, in front of me, a box." I want a box now

The lid for the screwdriver case is actually doubled as a sorting grid on the inside to maintain organisation, Instead of using the magnetised mat. Far more helpful if you're taking apart something with lots of different types of screws

I can help with the translations. The Purple Gameboy's Warranty Card included with the packaging does, as you suspected, include the name of the store which was supplied that particular Gameboy Pocket. The poorly-applied, upside-down stamp reads: 名古屋市東区東大曽町23 ユニー大曽根店 Nagoya Shihiga Shiku Toudai Sochou 23 (Address) UNY, Ozone Shop (Name of shop) UNY was the store name, Ozone is the name of the shopping centre/mall that the store was contained within. That particular store appears to have closed as of 2010. You were also correct to read the numbers below the stamp as a date, however your confusion is totally understandable. The date reads: 平成１０年１月２５日（日曜日） 1999/01/25 (Sunday), so January 25 1999. The first two characters are "平成" which is the denotation for the era of Heisei. Japan has their own ways to record the year, you'll see dates written in the typical format, so the current year would be 2020 for example but there's also the "era" year which runs alongside the reign of an Emperor. Since Heisei started in 1989, for it to be the tenth year of Heisei would make it 1999. For those curious, 2019 marked the first year of the era of "Reiwa" (令和) in Japan when the previous Emperor abdicated and his son became the new Emperor of Japan. Hope it helps, apologies if someone else already commented with this information, I didn't scan all the comments before writing.

I miss the gameboy so much, was the greatest handheld platform ever made.

Wow, Japanese packaging is always so elegant and premium!

I love the smaller,colorful,and compact handheld console boxes. The last few 3ds/2Ds boxes have been pretty average,but these old school packaging look so damn good.

I actually recently got a package from Sendico as well, and their packaging is fantastic. Lots of care put into it!

I'm going on a road trip tommorow and am bringing my Gameboy color and games. Am also doing the only playing Gameboy color for 30 days challenge.

You should make a video talking about how to get started with Gameboy modding and repairing, going through all the tools and components of the Gameboy

your unboxing style is like a calm good kid who got a gameboy for birthday

Can you make a Gameboy or DS that charges via induction/Wireless?!

i bought one of those ifixit kits a couple years back and holy crap--it's real good. absolutely phenomenal set that even comes with bits to open up a snes

Team Sendico!💪💪 Soo glad you introduced us to it, got some good deals from it.

I love your content, i have so much nostalgia for the gameboy and this channel fulfills all of it!

Back in the day, my GB Pocket came with a plastic box. I'm surprised these don't have it.

Your videos make my day a bit brighter! Thank you

So cool you got the iFixit kit. Was the best thing I got myself too!

Absolutely amazing find, I actually have never seen such a good condition MGB box it is a real sight to see

When i'm so early I can't steal a good comment...

Nice clip. I still remember those little handheld machines.

If its smoking DONT *I repeat* DONT eat it!!!! 4:55

I also have the pro tech tool kit. I absolutely LOVE it. I recently started my own business fixing and refurbishing electronics. Mainly game consoles and I have a blast doing it. And the tool kit makes life a lot easier.

This really takes me back. My first ever gameboy was a gameboy pocket, but it would have been 1998 that I "unboxed" mine, since I got it for Christmas the same time Pokemon Red and Blue came out in America.

My greatest birthday gift was a friend who bought me an in box (but battered) red Gameboy Pocket and 3d printed me a classic gameboy cart holder. Those look so much better than mine!

Thinking back to 1996 pretty sure I just tore everything apart and inserted the cart and started playing. It is a bit nostalgic to watch the unboxing like this.

Amazing vid! Keep up the good work!!!

I don’t know why they didn’t backlight it before.

He changed from RetroFuture to RetroPast lol

Nintendo: *Gameboy Pocket!* Also Nintendo: *don't put gameboy in pocket.*

Champion unboxing! and that iFixit tool is really cool, gonna get one for my tinkering arsenals

I'll definetly check out iFixit when I FINALLY get out of quarantine so I can mod my Gameboy.

Let me just open these priceless boxes that will be worth thousand in 20 years

Oh, that's a memory I didn't know I still had. Now I'm totally remembering when I opened up my teal one back in the late 90's. Damn, that's an absolutely massive hit of nostalgia.

Game boy pocket packaging is fire 🔥

This was a fantastic birthday present!!

You should freak out your viewers by getting a mint in box gameboy, opening it and doing an IPS screen mod to it ;-)

I had no idea what the packaging of gameboys looked like. Beautiful

Love your gameboy collection hopefully after this quarantine I'll start my own 👍

I’ve watched every single video on this and your second channel over lockdown. Just wanna say thanks for entertaining and educating me! Keep up the good work! ✌️

According to Google translate that stamp says "San-21 Ozone store: TEL 052-935-****" censored the number just in case. Tried googling both the number and the store name but found nothing but your assumption seems correct

Holy shit. This unlocked memories I didn’t even know I had. I owned a red game boy pocket with the matching copy of Pokémon red and still have it and play it to this day. Just awesome stuff.

Everytime I see one of these videos I hop on Sendico and do some shopping

What a beautiful box and gameboy. 😍

This made me happy.

Great Hall man they look so nice

That atomic purple gameboy Pocket brought me back about 18 years or so, and I am only 23.

The magnet is cool, but the lid for the screwdriver kit is way better for sorting screws.

Love your videos!

Tom Nook: bells, me want bells

The date is probably the date when it was sold, stated Heisei 10 1/25, which translate to 25th Jan 1998, and the stamp is the shop that sold the gameboy.

FYI: While iFixit is the only game in town I'm still waiting for delivery since June 16th.

4:57 "How to eat a new Gameboy Pocket" gets 10 million views

Not gonna lie I half expected this to be some weird asmr roleplay where you were a kid opening a gameboy on Christmas

Bro... that purple Gameboy is incredible.

So minty fresh, poor old Mr Sheen didn't get off his shelf in this video.

If there sealed and you open them im going to scream You win this time trf

4:58 "if its smoking... Don't eat it"

4:20 the stamp is of the shop where the gb was bought. its for warranty, which usually asks for the shop where you bought it and the date. shops stamp it for you so that you dont have to look it up yourself. it seems like the gb was originally sold by Uny (discount store) in Osone, Nagoya (closed in 2010) on Sunday Jan 25th, 1998 (Heisei year 10)

honestly, you are my favorite tech youtuber. That's about it. Yeah.

4:57 “if it’s smoking... don’t eat it”😂

Man, I loved the GBP, best of the originals

I enjoy watching your vids

Mate I got the same atomic purple and green one instead of red from sendico yesterday in mint condition so happy

I have the ifixit manta driver kit. Other than needing extensions (which they should add to it). There's nothing I can't take apart with it. The quality is top notch.

The date says 平成10年 which means it’s bought in 1998! And the stamp shows it was bought in ユニー大曽根店, a Japanese department store.

Anybody who has doubts about the iFixit Toolkit: I have the 64-bit set at home and it is amazingly well-made and super handy for anyone doing custom computer stuff.

I love the iFixit kits, I took apart my Xbox one controller with it. There well worth the money.

I have the Atomic Purple Game Boy Color. I love the transparency sooooooo much! 😎👍😎👍

this made me emotional

SO THIS IS A 1080p VHS TAPE FROM THE FUTURE! THE RETRO FUTURE!

The grey and red colors I love them

Interesting find!

I would kill for a GameBoy Pocket. Never got one back in the day because i had the OG GameBoy. I jumped over all other GameBoys until the GB Advance was released.

scotch tape! people need to use it for packaging collectables haha

on the ifixit kit, if you flip the lid for the screwdrivers over theres a parts tray as well for organizing all your screws

Elliot slowly going crazy in isolation talking to Tom Nook

I tried Sendico and found it hard to get the searches correct to find good gameboys.

Retro future unboxing like its 1996 Also retro *future*: my goals are beyond your understanding

Back in the 90s my parents couldn't afford a Game Boy so they got my brother a Donkey Kong themed water hoop toy that had yellow Game Boy shell 😂

Wow nice We have the same screw driver kit!!

You know you made it when iFixit sponsors your video

The pen date states that the purchase was made on sunday the 25th of january 1999 (the 10 stands for 10th year of the Heisei era)

would still love merch that says "minty" or "mint condition" in like a colourful 80ies style :D would be so on brand and cool! merch id actually wear!

i gasped when he stated opening it up LOL

The date is Heisei 10 (1998) January 25th. They use a weird system for the year based on the era of the current Emperor.

I love you vids!!!

I was hoping a Nintendo 64 kid reaction! 😭🤣

iFixit sponsorship? Our boy has made it.
