Ok, a 5200 is included, still need the VCS adapter, and the 7800 is included, well it plays 2600 out of the box.

 

The Light Sixer came w/o box, so I purchased the famous Chess Piece box, which is being made in UK.

 

Also a proud owner of the USA red box VCS JR

Nice collection of consoles! By "being made" do you mean you are getting a repro heavy sixer box for your light sixer console?

 

Yes, some guy in UK makes those boxes.

 

And, apparently is was common practise in Europe to ship a light sixer in a heavy sixer box:

The box with the post-it note on top is a woody 4-switch in a Vader box, that even happened in Germany from time to time. I guess, the box was not the important feature, because it was mostly trashed anyway.

See above, it's a light sixer in a remade heavy sixer box

Why the germans didn't got the red box 2600? The "official 2600 color" in the Atari CORP years was red!
