Pokemon Game Boy Color

  • 🕹️ An authentic-looking Pokemon Game Boy Color was shown, though its authenticity was questioned due to a reproduction sticker and incorrect colorway.
  • 💔 The console was found to be non-functional, with a broken switch and a plastic piece over the IR blaster instead of an actual blaster.

  • 🎶 The UB dB1 Speaker, part of the dB series, was discussed for its spherical design and tripod stand, costing $350 when functional.

Iconic Phones Book & NoPhone Selfie

CityRadio & Muse 2 Headband
