Recently I stumbled upon a G&W at my local Salvation Army. As surprised as I was to find this out in the wild there was one downside. It lacks the battery cover needed to play it. So looking online I've noticed there are companies who will make replacement covers for next to nothing, which is awesome. However... none of them have a baby blue one in stock that I need for my G&W. Anyone else know someone who can help me out with my dilemma? Would love to have this complete in my collection.

    Nice find. Original battery covers show up now and then on ebay but usually people are wanting $20-$30. I think this may be the only one in that blue colour (its easier to find others like the burgundy colour because more quite a few were released with that colour plastic. I am looking for a Mario Juggler cover but it is the only yellow one!)

    Oh yeah I saw the costs of original replacements and wow people want stupid prices for them. I hate the idea of having a replacement part on it, but as difficult as these are to find, finding original parts might be next to impossible.

    Yeah. It is difficult. At least it is on the back and you don't have to see it when its on display or being played. If you get a replacement one I recommend a clear one.

    I saw those ones online for a couple bucks. Honestly I'll probably just get a white one though seeing how the color matches the trim.

    That's fair. Up to you!
