Title: Donkey Kong Skateboard
Post by: den68 on February 03, 2005, 04:50:16 AM
grabbed this last night for $4 bucks. it's a little scuffed up but in fairly decent shape. does anyone know if this was a promo item or just regular retail?

well, it's got Safety Rules on there :lol

so unless they say jokey things, it's a safe bet it's an official release, and not made up by skaterz.

It's official allright, not a home made job. I was just curious if it was something you could just buy at  Toys R Us or if it was some promotional giveaway.

That kicks ass.
It may have been a Nintendo Power deal.
Didn't they have a Donkey Kong helmat and bike aswell?

If I'm not mistaken it's an item you could buy at toy stores and not a promo. I do recall seeing them a while back but never thought to buy one.

I may take it for a ride later. hopefully no teenagers driving around with video cameras will try to knock me down with their car door.

If so make sure you are riding near parked cars!  :P

Very cool image, Den.  I hope you don't mind that I added your photo to the extra media section of the DKC2 game page.  You were credited of course.

Here's my Donkey Kong Country scooter/skateboard.  I wonder if it came out at the same time as yours, Den?  I got mine for $5 a year or two ago and still haven't gotten around to removing the price tag.  (It was half off the marked price.)
