Blazing Lazers Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) I completed the full US VIS retail set. This is not at all an easy set to obtain, as any full set collector will tell you. A complete boxed copy of Video Movie Guide 1993 is an R11 on a scale of 1-10, but the real rarest retail VIS item is an unopened Wired Controller. These were indeed sold to the public via the Radio Shack Catalog, but pictured below is the only known unopened Wired Controller. All of the few other known ones are loose., which technically makes my VIS set the only actually complete retail set. Not shown is a boxed system, as it is stored elsewhere. It should also be noted that the Title Sampler and Compton's discs never had full box packaging.

There were also plans for Zenith branded VIS hardware, and other companies at least considered releasing VIS with their names. It's also comes up on eBay as the "Radio Shack VIS" because they were the ones that sold it back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the set - I know you've been working at it for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storino03 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 That’s real cool. I remember buying a TG16 lot off of Craigslist and the person included a Memorex VIS (wireless) controller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
