Mike's are not exact in color and shape as original Nintendo and for most it's irrelevant.  I think Mike's may even be out of replacements at this point too.

WunderCade:
The originals are different than the repros, the original have a distinct midnight-blue hue to them and are tall with a more pronounced edge around them. They really don't look like the repros at all - other than being in the blue family of color.

Tracking number came today from TOG!   :applaud:

RetroACTIVE:
Side art arrived today!  :) Still waiting on the bezel and ID plate.

Hopefully Ill get this stuff applied soon... I've got zero time this summer :(

RetroACTIVE:
Well... this is the first machine that I put my blood sweat and cash into then turned around and sold.  I'm happy it is in the hands of a true DK/DK2 fan.  I on the other hand was more interested in the build than the game itself.  The cash is going into a pin purchase so its all good.

Good bye #35 (I did finally get the ID plate, just in time to sell the machine HA!)
