$200 Pac-Man Clock Unboxing

[mvolke1]

Just an interesting video I thought I'd share:

Really cool clock!

Really cool clock! 

I'm gonna disagree.  It looks like they glued a bunch of leftover pacman stuff together with no regard for design.
If not for the sound effects and stuff, it could have been made by this guy:

It's a shame the pics of the pachinko machine with star wars action figures glued to the top of it are lost forever.
Lesson learned.  Always copy pics to BOYAC.

There's 75% of a good idea there, then 25% junk added to ruin it. Not worth $200, that's for damn sure.

Holy moly! I missed that when I skimmed the video. That's flat insane.

It's not THAT bad

Definitely not worth $200. Pac-Man going around the clock is nice, and I like him swinging as a pendulum. I like the trim and side art and him standing on top. The key is a nice touch, too.

If they'd left the Pac-man off the top and the dangling ghosts off the bottom, it would look much better.

Not interested.. and I have ALOT of Pacman memorabilia/items in my son's room. Blankets, sheets, wallpaper borders, mousepad, floor mat, pillow, pacman and ghost monster plushies, too much pacman stuff to mention and always in search of more. This thing is down right cheesy and not worth what they are asking for it. I don't care if it is low production and fully licensed by Bandai/Namco. Surely they could have come up with a more high tech design that captures the essence of pacman in a clock. I'd pay upwards of $500 or more for something with that "wow" factor. I wouldn't give but maybe $20-30 for this junk.

Not to mention that the buttons/joystick/etc just look cheap.  Hell, all in all it looks like something I'd see at Wal-Mart for $19.96...

[big10p]

Over done and over priced, IMO. Anyway, I was somewhat distracted by Pac-Man running in the background which appears to have a green ghost, for some reason?! Did Namco finally get round to firing Bashful/Inky? I thought Pokey/Clyde would be the first to get the boot.

It MIGHT be worth $200.00 if it had a cool playable option.  I fore see this ending up on the shelf next to the iCades in about 6 months for about a 1/6th of the original price.

First off, inboxings are so freaking stupid.
Yes we know, it comes in styrofoam 

I agree it seems like something you'd see at Walmart for $20.
I would definitely not pay $200.

The dangling ghosts and Pacman pendulum are just too much.
The cp is not correct.
It seems like they went for more original accuracy on the rear which is just silly.

I like the hourly chime pacman sound effects.

My favorite part of the whole thing was the Portal Atari game poster behind the two doofus wannabe hipsters that were advertising this thing.

---steaming pile of meadow muffin---... that means we're all getting one for Christmas...

Almost makes you rethink whether the Elbow Room Innovations light boxes are worth the $199 if they can sell these things for $200 !!

Well I have to bring something when I come visit for the holidays...

Seriously, are you coming to visit your uncle? If you are, let me know.
