    Sadly this is my only MOTU cart, so I can't compare in person - but pictures from Ebay and other places sure look black to me. Here it is next to some other carts. You can see just how much blacker the Imagic plastic is. I've never seen a Mattel cart in brown though - I have around 300 loose carts and nothing like this.

    I'm guessing that it's nothing specific to MOTU. I think most MOTU. (and most Mattel carts in general) are black.  There's probably some variation of browns and blues if you look at enough of them.  I'll take a look at some of mine tomorrow.  Maybe pics.

    New variant vein???🤠🤠🤠

    Digging through loose carts the other day, I noticed that my MOTU cart is made out of brown plastic. It's almost, but not quite, the same color brown as the 2609/Intellivoice. I don't have any other copies of MOTU but every picture online looks black to me. No other cart that I have looks like this, there are definitely shades of black due to fading and other environmental exposure, but absolutely nothing with this pure brown.

     

    Does anyone know what's up with this? I don't remember anyone ever discussing different color shells, I know that Coleco/PB/Imagic used a darker black plastic than Mattel, but that's about it.

    Very interesting, I’ll check mines as soon as I’ll be back home…

     

    Could you please post some pics of your brown cart next to a regular black one?

    I am trying to figure out if the game deserves a CIB release.

     

    I’m with Jay, CIB forever!😎😎😎

    I think if it was factory sealed the new sticker would be on the shrink (though I can't really tell from the picture).

     

    It also looks like there is some discoloration on the back under the shrink and maybe a puncture or something on the bottom flap, also under the shrink. The dent at the top on the back doesn't add any information as I have seen shrink wrapped copies more beat up than that (in the stock that Keith still had).

     

    Thanks Steve, good eye!👍

    I saw this auction on Ebay...

    Factory Sealed?

    To my knowledge, these were not shrinkwrapped from factory. Correct me if im wrong. Also, beware of ficticous claims.

    Haha!  Yes, I was just playing my typical American type.  😄

     

     

    Do you suppose they would do the same to an NTSC console?  I would like to buy this one, but the last time I purchased a PAL console to test my games, it was sort of difficult to be able to play it on my TV -- not to mention dealing with that funky plug thingy! 😆

    Seller told me that he doesn’t make NTSC consolles…😞

    I’ll ask them and let you know.

    They might also install a US plug I guess…
