NES WORLD Forum - Star Wars PAL box variant

NESaholic God Member Offline Obscurist maximus Posts: 2450 The Netherlands Gender:	Star Wars PAL box variant 15. Feb 2007 at 21:21 Hey folks, i think i may have discovered a PAL Star Wars box variant. The sides only seem to have different colours, purple and beige. The fronts and backs of the boxes are the same, also the top flaps and the Star Wars logo on it are the same.

Any info anyone?

The necklace stuff was imo a hoax/bullshit. I remember that auction myself. Everyone could have made that stuff up, so easy hehe

If it was real i'm sure more people would still have it. If it as real and some limited edition im sure it would be some sort of sticker or box variation telling about the including necklace.

It would also be the only NES game that includes something like that (except for the troll on the AVE game, but that was on the outside).

Monster in my Pocket has a free toy monster on the inside of the box. It shows a pic of him on the back of the box if you want to see it. And then there is the cloth Taboo bag, which I still haven't seen. Not sure if it was a hoax or what. I know one member here opened a sealed copy, but who knows. ~~NGD

It does indeed use a much smaller styro to allow the Monster to fit. It is actually very damn hard to find one with the Monster still included, I have only seen a handful of them ever. I bought mine off Bad Dog when he sold his whole collection off a few years back for $25 bucks, I got a steal IMO.

The Taboo doesn't mention anything about the cloth bag inside, and I have never seen one either. It is one of those things that is a rumor and who knows it if exists, kinda like the solid white label Dusty Diamond Allstars, I have yet to see one of those yet!

You have the biggest Star Wars collection of The Neterlands, i guess we can say for certain that it wasn't included. Although i would still want to see that picture of the auction people were refering to.
