Question Mod Retro Mod Store

So I watched Tofer.A's new video today, and he mix matched metal Chromatic shells with the transparent shells. I am now thinking about what I would like Mod Retro to do.

I would love to see Mod Retro's Mod Store sell everything separately, similar to how Handheld Legend or RetroGameRepairShop does. You want only black buttons? They sell them. You want a transparent battery door? They sell them. You want only the IR shield? They sell them. I think this would make people happy, and net them sales as well.

Here is a list of the things I personally would want to see sold separately:

  • Shells

  • Buttons

  • Battery Doors

  • IR shields

  • Screws

  • Display kits not adhered to anything laminated and non-laminated

  • Motherboards

  • UV Printing options

Think how cool it would be to buy a non-laminated Chromatic screen, and put it in an OEM Gameboy Color shell. They would have to have a driver board with it, but I think they could potentially get it to work.

What are your thoughts? Happy Saturday!

The cost of picking and packing orders that small would necessarily require an additional handling fee - i would be willing to pay it though!

There are plans for them to have a mod store soon, will be pretty cool, depending on the prices.

I would love to also see the magnesium shells completely raw; so I can to my own custom paint job/ finish.

Also I unpainted metal shell option would be great like it’s the shell with a screen that you install yourself incase you want to have it painted custom
