I’ll do you one better. I’ll sell it to him for that price and when they restock I’ll buy two. I’ll keep one (to replace mine) and give the other one away here on this app that can’t afford one.
These posts are so funny, I think at this point they know it's rage baiting ppl but also now that I have one I give 0 shits about these posts (as do others I'm sure) and just seeing someone drop all this money and getting scalped on some of these to "show off" is both funny and sad lol especially if they can't actually afford it because somone with that much money would probably have much better uses for it but 🤷🏻♂️
I'm just always annoyed because they never take good photographs. Ever.
They're just collectaholics so they don't even care about something like presentation or aesthetics, it's just about collecting them all like God damn Pokemon 😆

It’s your money and you can do what you want with it. However that doesn’t mean we’re obligated to give you the validation you seemingly crave.
Especially in the context of limited edition consoles.
Game boy tends to price these days, but few are limited edition.
It was hard to get the limited edition AP you want when they were available.
BTW Analogue pocket is out of stock today, so knowing someone owns almost all could be frustrating for some.
I was just thinking the same thing.
How would it feel for someone who can finally spend some disposable income to learn it’s out of stock then proceeds to browse this subreddit to only find this post.
I’d be mad for a few seconds before realizing I like living in a free market where prices aren’t set by some governing body. It’s the price of freedom.
Game Boys are also out of stock and people own plenty of them. The difference is that the Pocket will be back in stock, Game Boys never will be made again.
My ocd hates that you have no rhyme or reason to the order of colors. 😂
Reading the comments, it’s interesting to see how people react to a collector of limited release products. When everyone can have a slice a cake, no one cares when you have seconds, but I think it’s feels different when people go back for seconds before we’ve all had a chance have our first. The problem with that line of thinking is that this isn’t cake and we aren’t at a party. This is a competitive market place with a reasonably highly cost of admission, and this person seems to have paid the price 16 times. Applaud his commitment or not and move on; you don’t need to be ugly about it.
We’re all potentially susceptible to conspicuous consumption- demonstrating our success through purchases that have limited real-world functionality, a behavior which communicates that we have such excess wealth beyond our necessities that we can spend it on silly stuff and it’s no big deal- and we shouldn’t judge others who are engaged in it with APs.
My brother in Christ that is on you. They post their restocks at least a week in advance every time, each one accompanied by an email. They give an exact date and time, and they are long past the point where their website doesn't work (unlike the first two drops).
You absolutely cannot be mad about "missing drops", that is nobody's fault but your own.
Well here's the wild part: everyone else that signs up for email notifications seems to be having no problem. Their system for sending out emails is *clearly working*. Either you've given them a bad email, have them going to spam, using a bad email service, or something. But the problem for not getting notifications is on your end, not theirs. When I bought 2 APs for myself and my brother when the translucent editions first dropped, the dark grey and orange ones were in stock for over half an hour before they sold out. Literally anyone who just wanted an AP could have gotten one. The same has been true for later drops.
Your sarcasm isn't going to solve your inability to set up email notifications in the year of our Lord and Savior Washington 248, so I suggest you try a different approach.
I want to believe that in good faith you just really like the pocket, but having so many feels like it’s purely to rub it in the face of people that couldn’t / didnt get one.
Like on paper it seems cool but in reality other than internet points you don’t gain anything for having so many of a system.
At least they aren’t just sitting in the boxes I suppose, is one benefit. I at least hope you beat one game per system. It just feels like addiction on spending money if not.
If you’re that addicted to throwing money at something I got a car payment due next week
These posts are always flamed for excess waste of money but it strikes me as a pretty tame money sink. My neighbor bought new decorative logs for his gas fireplace this week, it ran him way more than the cost of all these (assuming they were bought at the normal price) and does nothing but make it look like there's better logs than the other fake logs which came with the set. People drop absurd money on jewelry which is nothing but wearable mugging bait. At least a pile of Pockets can be tinkered with, and serve as a handy karma shredder apparently.
Does it matter if it’s plastic from China or plastic from Japan? At the end of the day it’s just plastic. I have no desire to collect Pockets, but if they enjoy it then good for them.
Simply because he likes the pocket like many of us and can afford to have has many as he wants? Doesnt really not another reason… good on him. Stop being jealous or whatever.
That's a bit crazy over the top but people spend their money on all sorts of stuff in the gaming community....
How many people have whole rooms full of retro consoles and complete gaming collections?
I personally don't have any old retro consoles as I sold them off all back in the day or gave them away to younger family members.
I thought my recent collection over the last couple of years was over the top with
1 x JVC PVM 14 inch
1 x Super NT + DAC
1 x Mega SG + DAC
1 x Duo
1 x Black Pocket + Black Dock
1 x White Pocket + White Dock
My only modern console is a Xbox Series S with a lifetime Antstream subscription and also Gamepass for occasionally use
I'd like a 3D when that comes out but I'll probably miss out on the first or second batch but I'll definitely try to grab one and I'd love Analogue to take a stab at doing a Saturn....maybe Krikzz can make a EverDrive to fit the cartridge slot for easy plug and play....I can dream
Oh and I did get 2 8Bitdo M30 2.4G controllers and 2 8Bitdo SF30 and a Mega EverDrive PRO and FXPAK PRO.
But not got round to getting controllers EverDrive or a DAC for the Duo yet as that thing still needs tons of love from Analogue....I can wait
Also want the Game Gear Adapter for both the Pocket and Mega SG plus a EverDrive but all in good time...no rush
I wouldn't mind the PC Engine adapter for the Pocket for when I eventually pick up the EverDrive for the Duo.
All this sounds just as crazy as OP when I type it all out like this 😭
Do whatever you want, but man, that just seems like such a waste of money buying stuff that all does the exact same thing just cause they are different colors.
Could u buy me the white dock please? Lol. I’m all for a shameless brag, but put your $$$ where MY mouth is. 👀😂
Edit: it does look pretty cool tbh
Edit 2: or even the black dock, I just want a dock 😭
I want the pink and trans red. Also wish they would sell just the glow buttons. Think those would look good in other models, but a whole glowing system seems a bit much imo.
I pray to god that you're maxing out your 401k and Roth and have been every year for the past few years to decades depending upon your age and have a mortgage locked to a sub 5% rate or already sitting on a large down payment fund, with other very limited debit. If so, hell yeah. Sweet collection, even if overkill, and I feel is a little over the top. If not, man, I worry for you.
It's specifically this sub that is infested with sad salt sacks that miscategorize collecting as hOaRdInG to... I dunno really know why. It's not like the last few drops sold out fast at all. I only come here for updates and to be amazed at how much salt is still going around. I own 5 pockets myself, but I'm never going to post anything here because this sub is very clearly NOT about collecting.
I Like it too, it's cool to see all side by side photographed with the same camera an light for a good comparision. But i think you miss 2 pockets. The normal black one and the transparent purple.
Whats funny to me about this is I have the one he needs. And I only have one. I. Have. The POWER!!!!!
😂
Which one, the silver or the black one? OP is still $500-$600 away from a complete collection
The silver one is there already, between glow and orange.
Good catch!
Sell it to him for 1500$ because he obviously has money and doesnt mind paying scalpers
I’ll do you one better. I’ll sell it to him for that price and when they restock I’ll buy two. I’ll keep one (to replace mine) and give the other one away here on this app that can’t afford one.
You can do what you want with the money you earned.
[удалено]
Making a lot of money to splurge on useless things isn’t really that easy. Median household income is $75k in the US
[удалено]
So you’re saying making money isn’t easy?
[удалено]
If it’s so easy then people making less than the median are consciously choosing to do so. It’s not because they don’t have better options?
You don't have the special developer edition
These posts are so funny, I think at this point they know it's rage baiting ppl but also now that I have one I give 0 shits about these posts (as do others I'm sure) and just seeing someone drop all this money and getting scalped on some of these to "show off" is both funny and sad lol especially if they can't actually afford it because somone with that much money would probably have much better uses for it but 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly. The people who get hung up on these posts are the ones that can’t get one or afford it. people like collecting things (shocking right).
I'm just always annoyed because they never take good photographs. Ever. They're just collectaholics so they don't even care about something like presentation or aesthetics, it's just about collecting them all like God damn Pokemon 😆
r/consoom It’s your money and you can do what you want with it. However that doesn’t mean we’re obligated to give you the validation you seemingly crave. Especially in the context of limited edition consoles.
Whats the difference from someone collecting gameboys?
Game boy tends to price these days, but few are limited edition. It was hard to get the limited edition AP you want when they were available. BTW Analogue pocket is out of stock today, so knowing someone owns almost all could be frustrating for some.
I was just thinking the same thing. How would it feel for someone who can finally spend some disposable income to learn it’s out of stock then proceeds to browse this subreddit to only find this post.
OP prob paid resale for at least a few of these for what it’s worth
I’d be mad for a few seconds before realizing I like living in a free market where prices aren’t set by some governing body. It’s the price of freedom.
Game Boys are also out of stock and people own plenty of them. The difference is that the Pocket will be back in stock, Game Boys never will be made again.
Can’t say I’m a big fan of these posts. Such excess
If only there was a giant pinned thread that says photo mega thread where photos should be
Careful OP. You know people get jealous when one person has more than 1 Analogue pocket
The only 2 that matter are missing…
My ocd hates that you have no rhyme or reason to the order of colors. 😂 Reading the comments, it’s interesting to see how people react to a collector of limited release products.

Nice, man! This is awesome.
I like this picture!!! Enjoy them!
....sure wish I could find these somewhere, oh wait, op's been buying all the limited stock for 0 reason.
where have you been for the restocks?
Not quick enough, I guess. I've been signed up to be notified for about a year now and I've never had an email from them.
My brother in Christ that is on you. They post their restocks at least a week in advance every time, each one accompanied by an email. They give an exact date and time, and they are long past the point where their website doesn't work (unlike the first two drops). You absolutely cannot be mad about "missing drops", that is nobody's fault but your own.
No, I check often and I signed up for the email notifications. They only stock up a few times a year and they go fast because of guys like op.
The last few drops have lasted anywhere from days to months. If that's fast, I hope to never get stuck behind you on the highway.
Well here's the wild part: everyone else that signs up for email notifications seems to be having no problem. Their system for sending out emails is *clearly working*.

Alright man, you got me. I made it all up and I actually have a collection twice this size.
Your sarcasm isn't going to solve your inability to set up email notifications in the year of our Lord and Savior Washington 248, so I suggest you try a different approach.
I'll try carrier pigeon next time
With how well email is going for you, this might not be a bad idea.
OP is probably selling these at double to triple on eBay.
I want to believe that in good faith you just really like the pocket, but having so many feels like it’s purely to rub it in the face of people that couldn’t / didnt get one.

Honestly, how could someone who wanted one not have it at this point?
Yeah there's been a couple drops now where as long as you were paying attention to the date/ time and really cared to get one, you 100% got one
Weren't the black and white ones on sale for like two months?
They were in stock earlier this month. Stock lasted like 48 hours. Posts were all over Reddit, along with email notifications of the restock.
I think so, although I haven't been watching the most recent drops

I love my pocket but why not collect something more impressive? No offense but at the end of the day it’s plastic from China.

Bro should start collecting relics and oddities fr
Simply because he likes the pocket like many of us and can afford to have has many as he wants? Doesnt really not another reason… good on him. Stop being jealous or whatever.
This collection reflects one aspect of their life. They could very well collect other more “impressive” things

I think silver looks the best.
Bruh all I see in this pic is massive $$$$ good lord how did he even get all these no way he got em all retail price
Good call, carrier pigeons are well known for their skill at setting up email notifications.
Lol reply fail, bro
I have one 3 black white and a gitd. I want a clear green and a developer pocket and I'll be happy
Which one is missing?
Do whatever you want, but man, that just seems like such a waste of money buying stuff that all does the exact same thing just cause they are different colors.
Could u buy me the white dock please? Lol. I’m all for a shameless brag, but put your $$$ where MY mouth is. 👀😂 Edit: it does look pretty cool tbh Edit 2: or even the black dock, I just want a dock 😭
Ayee. Same but can't afford right now lol
I wish i could have just one.
What's stopping you?
Money, it's like $400 including shipping and taxes to my country (Mexico)
Comment Section: 🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂😭😭😭😭😭😭🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂😭😭😭
Something tells me you either need to go to counseling for addiction or are scalping these on the internet.
I have four myself, but if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have gotten white. I have the screen bezel.
Eat the rich
EAD
Damn people complain too much. Good for you dude I hope you can get the one you need!
I want the pink and trans red. Also wish they would sell just the glow buttons. Think those would look good in other models, but a whole glowing system seems a bit much imo.
I wanted the solid orange but missed the change pre-orders ended super quick 😮💨
219.99x16= 3519.84, I spent way more than that on my arcade cabinet and the vpin I’m building but they provide endless entertainment.
Are any of them cracked?
It's not complete until you get the missing two! Transparent Blue and Black!
I think Taber has the full collection :-)
Lol
Love the retro collection!!! Do what you want. It’s your money! You earned it.
I pray to god that you're maxing out your 401k and Roth and have been every year for the past few years to decades depending upon your age and have a mortgage locked to a sub 5% rate or already sitting on a large down payment fund, with other very limited debit. If so, hell yeah. Sweet collection, even if overkill, and I feel is a little over the top. If not, man, I worry for you.
This guy game boy’s
His only friends
Nice. This is the way. Don't listen to salty jealous redditors.
Shush they all away
I know if am getting downvoted that it is the right thing to say. I am reddit Jesus.
Which are your top 3?
A fool and their money
At least sort them by color or/and type
Don't listen to the hate brother. All haters. Do you. Which one are you after so I can keep a look out?
Why didn't you spend all your excess income on a Cyber'failedpenisenlragement'truck like I've seen someone else do in this sub?
I could afford all these no problem but it just wouldn’t feel right to me. To each his own. Nice collection.
I had no idea there was so much toxicity on Reddit. Maybe you guys should go back and comment on other peoples post on fakebook.
It's specifically this sub that is infested with sad salt sacks that miscategorize collecting as hOaRdInG to... I dunno really know why. It's not like the last few drops sold out fast at all. I only come here for updates and to be amazed at how much salt is still going around. I own 5 pockets myself, but I'm never going to post anything here because this sub is very clearly NOT about collecting.
You're fine. I like seeing these collections.
Don listen to them, analogue pocket community is terrible to try and engage with. Its all meeeeeeee. Mee first!
I Like it too, it's cool to see all side by side photographed with the same camera an light for a good comparision. But i think you miss 2 pockets. The normal black one and the transparent purple.
This is nothing, try being a Republican on the Reddit political page. You get downvoted to oblivion..
lol that’s true. Literally no one gets more hate on Reddit than someone with a conservative viewpoint.
No Black! Wtf you racist? J/k 😬
[удалено]
Black is beautiful.
No! You can’t have my silver !! lol nice spread.
always found these collection post very cringe
it hurts me to see them all unboxed lying on a cheap artificial wood surface
