I know it’s not what you asked for but it’s a really easy mod to do yourself. My screen cost me £28 from Aliexpress. It’s at least as good as an AGS101 (which I also have). There are two types of screen connector for two types of GBA PCB. If you end up going down this route I’ll consult my memberry banks.

I am looking into this too. My prime concern is buying one with original shell and buttons, plastic lens and a good mod job. And not a ridiculous labour charge slapped on.

It probably is.
I can almost guarantee I will break something/do something wrong modding the first one - so a cheap sacrifice

Nah. I don't know why but I've had an urge for a random Game Boy library of bare carts for a few years - probably related to mine being nicked back as a kid. Tried with some original form GB and GBC a while back and didn't find the motivation continued for long.
Consider it my equivalent of your toy and steelbook stuff

I guess I'm not that fussy about original Game Boy stuff as I never had one as a kid.

My first GB was a GBP, so I was late to the party. I finished all the mainstream 1st party and excellent (at the time) capcom Zelda games.
