Fuck, there could be HeMan toys in there for all we know.

SHHHHHHHHHHHH.

that would be cool tho
bucky... nope
This might be a dumb question then...how do you tell if it's factory sealed? It looks like it could be to me.
once again, i am looking at the pic of mine, and i cannot figure out how the seal could possibly get so loose. no way its factory sealed, and no way to tell if a skeletor is in there or not, but what we do know is that the box is in very good condition!
Also the way it's puckered at the seams - it's a much more heavy duty plastic than was used on original ones. The cello for black-box games incl Stack-up is about as thin as you can get. Leads to all kinds of problems like open corners from wear, and easy scratching/tearing. This is obviously a thicker laminate. More along the lines of what they use in rental shops. That puckering you'll see with a handheld heat-gun.
And that pic of the top shelf is NA-friendly porn - I'm a bit gamerandy just looking at it!
Dan, your point about the cello being too thick - actually stack up cello is and should be thicker than cello for other black boxes. I suspect this is a legit copy; just ugly.
I'm not trying to denounce this guy as some kind of scammer at all, I just don't think the seal looks legit. Either way, I'm sure this'll fetch a pretty penny.
you guys are being waaaay too quick to judge. That's how stack up is sealed. You can never say if its legit without having it in hand but I would tend to think that's real although possibly a water damaged box or something underneath causing loose wrap.

Man, you guys got TOLD!!
3rd pic - arse, what do you mean? if you mean that the seam is bunched and the seam line too thick, for a standard game, sure, but that's actually what you want in a stack up.
To me the only thing that looks even slightly off is the loose wrap, but that's not that big a deal IMO if the rest looks OK.
The bubbling at the top I've seen on other copies too.

WIth 3 snaps in Z formation.

This is the part that sent up the red flag to me. Obviously you would have a much better knowledge of this stuff than I do, Bronty. The way this bunching wraps from the side of the box around to the front of the box looks really unnatural to me.
men on games!

greater fold-over than normal and perhaps a slight source of concern but extra shrink at that corner is not a surprise.
but, you never know for sure until its in hand.
Who uses a show-off pic with a horribly faded BB2?
i cant complain about my bb2 box that cost me $5!
