    Several months have passed since my last "Wanted" post, see topic https://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.vectrex/browse_thread/thread/ad447fea01274895/fd7e14ee5a21deb1

    Since then, my Vectrex collection has grown a bit, the 3D imager and Logo are part of my collection, now. Various items are still missing, and I'm well aware that some are very rare and almost impossible to find:

    == GCE Originals
    - Star Castle
    - Polar Rescue
    - 3D Crazy Coaster
    - 3D Narrow Escape

    == Homebrew
    - Cube Quest
    - Vector 21
    - War of the Robots
    - StarSling (LE)
    - Tour de France (old version)
    - Vec Sport Boxing
    - Thrust (Mark' s original version)
    - Solar Wars
    - Joust
    - VeCaves

    == Hardware
    Dust Cover (MB)?

    Items are supposed to be complete (CIB) and in mint or near mint condition.

    Yes, a number of the above items are "sometimes" seen and sold at ebay, but I prefer to purchase these items directly from a collector to avoid ebay charges, Paypal charges, and custom fee (if possible). Please contact me if you (in)tend to sell your Vectrex items and think your items should go into the hands of a nice and reliable German Vectrex collector. :-)

    I have a promotional Vectrex Folding Ball point pen which came directly from Milton Bradley toys in 1982. the ink is long but dried up, and the pen has some scuff marks to the Vectrex logo. I have never seen this anywhere else, nor heard mention of it. I
    should also have the compliment slip which came with it somewhere.
    I regard this as extremely rare so open to a very sensible offer to part with it. (Pictures can be sent privately)

    Thanks for posting, Rudy. My wanted list is a bit outdated. I have a copy of VecSport Boxing (Fury Edition), already. But I'm interested in your Atari Trakball. You have mail...

    In the hardware section it must say:

    == Hardware
    - Dust Cover
    - Vectorcade
    - VecVox

    The Vectorcade is an awesome addition if you can find one, the
    difference the high quality joystick makes to most games is massive.

    VecVoxx is especially cool on Y.A.S.I. I think that's my favourite implementation of it.

    You should also add the Vectrex TrakBall unless you have it already of course! I sold mine ages back on eBay and hardly got anything for
    it... it was a converted Atari one, not sure how many were made.

    I own the unlimited edition of Star Sling, but that's mostly because
    John threw it and the unlimited Logo into a small bundle of things he
    gave to me for free to apologise to taking his time over getting
    something else to me. So chalk one person here owning it.

    Alex never finished Solar Wars, he sold ten WIPs on yellow boards at
    Eurocon 2007 and that's all that was known of the game in the public
    sense. Not sure how many have changed hands since, I want to say I
    know of two.

    Technically there are three versions of Vec Sports Boxing: Manu's
    original hand made run of 13 (or 14, I seen both figures quoted), the
    100 from GDG, and then the small run that George produced in his
    plastic square box style.

    i have a copy of vec boxing by george and i can sell it
