Argghhhh! You MUST be a collector - only a collector would want one of those hideous abominations! 
Good luck to you sir, if I even saw something that ugly I would probably put it out of its misery quick smart.

Looks like that patterned contact my mother used to cover my school books with in the 80s!

They MUST have been the brainchild of an evil (arent they all?) Atarian trying to make the Amiga look uncool.

I cant take my eyes of it! Its pure unadulterated tastelessness is captivating.

What possessed them to do that to an A500?! Victor Frankenstein would be envious of that abomination.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just got this vague impression that you might like these art editions a little bit less than the standard A500. But then again, maybe I read it wrong....
Lol, I REALLY cannot believe these were pushed as a, lol, "Limited Edition"?!?
What was C= thinking?! They are a tasteless, hideous eyesore. Why couldn't C= have released a black a500, or a chrome plated one. Or one with blue power led and red amiga keys - SOMETHING tasteful. Instead, they took a standard A500 and stuck butt ugly tacky art contact on it!
The C= marketing department must have had the colective IQ of a freshly squeezed glass of orange juice!

Oh, and don't get me wrong, I know TJ is a collector and I respect that (and him). He's got more guts than I - I'd be too embarressed to own something that looks like that!

Wow, that one looks pristine!
Both editions were on sale a few months ago here in Holland. I think they were bought by Tahoe (who's also on this board)...
Yep, I have both limited editions.

C= also made a golden version of the A500, but I'm unsure how many units they made (just one? a thousand? ten thousands?).

Sh.t! I was thinking there was only a golden C64!
Now this is something I would like to have on the wall. (Regardless of abraXXious's upcoming comments.)
