Athletic World Box

Any reason why the Athletic World box that I got yesterday is a different style box than all my others?



It's different on the bottom, where it would normally have the two "hook" flaps and the put together pieces (if that makes sense!). The bottom of the box is exactly like the top of other boxes, with the two fold in flaps and then one top (err bottom) flap that just folds and inserts into the box.

  • I see that this variation is listed in the database, but no real reason given...
  • I don't know either, it is kinda annoying though. Also one of the uglyist looking NES boxes IMO.

  • The reason isn't clear really. I think everyone who's found this has wondered the same thing. I'm thinking that perhaps this version came with the Power Set? I dunno.

  • I actually just noticed this for the first time a few weeks ago. It's sure is weird -- I don't think there are any other boxes like that.



    One other thing I've noticed is how some boxes are made of a different material. If you look on the inside, most boxes are brownish cardboard, but some of them are made of a slightly more flimsy white colored cardboard.
