Definitely not a waste of time. Old game boxes like this are rare and works of art, and obviously this is a very iconic one. I don't even try to collect the boxes since they are so expensive now but if someone gave me this I would definitely display it.
Really nice! Pop that in a plastic coffin and the patina encased in a glossy box will make it look like a real museum piece. So glad you saved that one from the bin!
Well played Si mate!! Looks 10 times better and good on you for trying to and saving this box most would have just thrown out. Respect, nod and handshake to you good sir 😎👌🏴👍
@@gingerhippygaming7962 ive been working all day on this trubo grafx mini box. Amazon put 2 huge stickers on the outside of th box. luckily it's a pretty glossy box but the stickers are totally stuck . Thanks Amazon
As someone who's on the hunt for a box to complete my original Zelda, the more of them there are in the world the better. And I'd be very happy if I came across one in that condition. Great work!
You did a great job with that, mate. Like you said state it was in it would've only went in the bin anyway so no harm in trying. Makes me want to repair my damp damaged snes boxes for link to the past and starwing.
While some people find it to be travesty, i usually do color over those spots with color markers and i wish you would do this the same, this has so much potential to look almost new with some coloring
Great work mate, I've been meaning to do similar with my Atari Pacman box which is not only squashed but quite ripped and missing flaps so won't be able to repair as good as yours but should be able to improve it a fair bit. You've inspired me to get on with it hopefully next weekend or two if I get chance.
If you wanna try something, I've heard using a Iron like for clothes can help make the box more cripsy and less wrinkling. Only issue is I don't know if it would damage it more or what
mate you put that in a clear plastic protector and cut a block of styrene to put in the bottom of it and thats better than most of the ones ive seen in cex!
@ginger hippy gaming If you place it into a box with a dehumidifier it will keep it from molding. Like just a laundry hamper with a towel on top. 24 hours or less should do not to long. Because of the water you used to straightin it out. Only reason I know this is because I used to work with cardboard and it's definitely unsealed card stock. I'm sure the wax coating has done and gone quite a bit.

Ginger Hippy Restorations! Haha. Great job man!

Thanks alot and good luck with your hunt for a complete zelda. So much stuff just gets binned I was nice to save something
Wow, great work! I've never seen the original box before, and I'm honestly impressed how you were able to restore all that damage!
Thanks it's not perfect but was never going to be I think it was still worth doing
Good job. It looks great! Get a clear box protector - it will not only protect it, it will make it "pop!"
Yes if I had one I'd of shown it off they really do make a big difference
You did a great job with that, mate. Like you said state it was in it would've only went in the bin anyway so no harm in trying. Makes me want to repair my damp damaged snes boxes for link to the past and starwing.
Amazing job mate. You totally Viagra'd that case!
Thanks as I said its not perfect but it's also not in the bin
Si you have done an amazing job on restoring it, the legend of zelda is one of my all time favourites
Great video mate 👍
Thanks mate I saved it for you
Mate well done. I thought this was looking like a gonna. Well saved that man!
I thought it was impossible to fix but just goes to show what can be done

If I can do this anyone can you shuld make a vid
@@gingerhippygaming7962 might do mate, will see.
Really impressive, looked absolutely mullered.
Great save 👍
I really was in a bad way it's not perfect but it's alot better
Thanks mate glad it's not in tbe bin
Very impressive outcome mate, that box looked like a goner in the beginning.
Had to try and I'm shocked how well it ended up

This was all I had but a mate has a heat press so will try that and update the vid
Mate it looks so much better. Amazing what some water and steam can do
Better than being in the bin
mate you put that in a clear plastic protector and cut a block of styrene to put in the bottom of it and thats better than most of the ones ive seen in cex!
Yep seen cex sell alot worce
Nice job bud!
Thanks mate I will also put it in a heat press and update after that
That what we did In the 90s the trash 🗑 😢😅
No value in them in the 90s
Yeah but no one new that they were going to be collectibles so we just threw the box away
Boy done good!
No pens needed lol
@@gingerhippygaming7962 never are.
Is that water ?
Yes
How the hell?
I know almost doesn't look like the same box
I'd personally also put it in a box protector after as well to stop it wanting to warp back to it's previous shape.
I whuld if I had one as they really do make a big difference
'promo sm'
Amazingly great job m8 fuck me
Thanks I'm amazed how wow it turned out
