Nintendo Game Boy Piggy Bank: Insert Coin, Start Saving
Think about all of the money you spent on Game Boy games back in the day. It probably adds up to a lot of dough. Too bad that handheld couldn’t collect money for you and save it. Well, now it can. This Nintendo Game Boy Piggy Bank accepts your coins not your cartridges.
This bank looks just like the classic Game Boy console. It has the same retro grey style and simple button layout, same rounded brick shape too. Plus, there are no batteries to worry about and you can even use it in low lighting, which you can’t say about the original. It will help you get some of that Game Boy cartridge money back all these years later.
Grab one over at Entertainment Earth for just $10.99(USD) and start saving with power!
