Atari Jaguar Molds being sold or scrapped
#298523 - 11/05/12 08:26 PM Attachment: Untitled-1.jpg 132 KB (0 downloads)


The company "Imagin Systems" purchased all of the molds for the Jaguar back in 2000 and are now selling or scrapping them.

The molds are currently in San Carlos CA.

The owner tells me that he has a possible deal with China
which if it did pan out would probably be the best thing if it meant production of replacement Jaguar parts.

It would seem a sad shame to scrap them but then again there is no shortage of Jaguars on ebay,
nor much love for the controllers which fit my hands nicely but were bulky for most.

I'm surprised they still exist. The Jag's been out of production since, what, 1996?

The mold was used for a camera dental tool.

They are still selling a white shell for Jag owners that want a conversation starter on the shelf.

I'm not surprised they repurposed it. Tooling costs a fortune.

I just sold my jaguar about a month ago...

Have to many other systems I am collecting for so I didn't see a reason to hang
on to it. Probably regret it later... seems to always work that way for me....



Only here to annoy...
