I made it earlier this year, thought I would share. Now my VB can safely travel with me!

If this got put away and remained unopened for 40+/- years, what’s the risk of the foam going funky and eating away at the Virtual Boy plastic and rubber?

No idea! Good question, that thought hadn't occurred to me. 🤔

I guess I'll have to make sure to check on on it periodically if I store it away.

Probably a good question to bring up in the Virtual Boy community, not sure if the Blockbuster cases did any damage to the systems as the foam in those decayed?
