Remember that one weirdly specific joke from Rick and Taro Kai ArchivesMortywhere Rick plots a money-making scheme of buying limited edition Nintendo 3DS consoles in order to flip them for a profit?
Well, that joke is based on Rick and Mortycreator Justin Roiland's real life and he's starting to sell off his stock, starting with one that contains his signature and a drawing of the show's titular characters. It's all yours if you're willing to drop $1,000 for it on the website Witschy.

According to the description of the 3DS up for sale – specifically, a gold-colored, limited-edition Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds-themedNintendo 3DS XL – it is one of several consoles that Roiland purchased from Walmart.
"Justin said he'd provide some sort of certificate of authenticity with it but who knows that dude is busy and certificate might just be drawn on a dominos napkin," the description reads.
That sounds like it might not actually be true, but Vice confirmed with Witchsy that the 3DS was actually purchased by Roiland, according to a text from Roiland.
"OK, so here’s what’s important re: the 3DS systems," Roiland wrote in a text message to Witchsy co-founder Kate Dwyer, Vicereported. "All the stuff Rick says in that scene in the episode was actually true. My plan was to sell them off here and there over the years but I just had so many that I still have them. It’s also important to know that I felt bad after I bought them all so I went and purchased 15 2DS systems and a bunch of games and donated them to the children’s hospital of Los Angeles. I became part of the problem that day. I became a scalper. CHA-CHING."
Roiland famously loves Nintendo, so it makes sense that he would select a Nintendo system for his scalping scheme. His game studio, Squanch Games, actually started out with the name Squanchtendo.
Roiland likely purchased the 3DS consoles, of which there appear to be 10, in November 2013 when they first hit stores. That's less than one month before the first episode of Rick and Mortypremiered and about a year and half before Rick and Mortyreferenced Roiland's scheme in the episode "Total Rickall."
Who knows when the next Roiland-purchased 3DS will go on sale. If this has any impact on fans like the whole Szechuan sauce fiasco did, these will be in high demand.
