Boxes for Gunhed and Final Soldier special ?...
« on: March 11, 2012, 02:20:48 PM »
I always assumed that none of the special Hucards came with neither a box nor manual, however, I bumped into these auctions on Yahoo Japan :

http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h162289725

Would you know if they are just custom made ? Or are they the real deal ?...

Yeah I've seen these cases a few month ago on Yahoo for the very first time, and NEVER before that, not in any stores etc. EVER.

So I'm certainly (to approx. 99.998735%) sure, that these are custom made.

Yeah, it's pretty fishy... The covers are cleaned up scans of the HuCard art. They didn't even bother to resize the copyright info. If there were covers they would have been designed slightly differently I'm sure, at least regarding the font size.

The guy isn't in Japan either, which is fairly unusual for YJA as far as games go. Pretty high asking price and shipping charges as well.

They are just the high score rounds (2/5min).
