CPUWIZ Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I have these two, they are pretty rare. Does anybody know if others exist? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Never seen others than these two combo packs. Atlantis / Riddle of the Sphinx is the rarest of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Were those distributed directly from Imagic, or something that a retailer would have put together? I do not recall having ever seen such a combination package BITD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Back in the day my local electircal store called Greens had these on display for the longest time. I had always believed them to be a store promotion but obvously not as they were available in other countries. Wish I knew back then what I know now for I would have made a fortune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schitti Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 My box has only the yellow stickers on both sides. No further information visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Thanks for the input, anyone know what they are worth these days? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbb033 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Seems if they were worth much, they'd be rife for counterfeiting, just too CIB games (probably the hardest step, a shrinkwrapping machine and some stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 One of the reasons, why I took the image at an angle and half obscured the blue sticker, too many assholes on the internet. I actually tried faking old shrinkwrap once, it is super hard and not worth it. A trained eye will see the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 One of the reasons, why I took the image at an angle and half obscured the blue sticker, too many assholes on the internet. I actually tried faking old shrinkwrap once, it is super hard and not worth it. A trained eye will see the difference. That is unless you get a whole roll of NOS wrap and take the time to mimic the lines. It's been done before and unfortunately done well enough that it passed those foolish "grading" inspections. Totally fake reseals now entombed in plastic with a certificate of authenticity for no other reason but to rip people off. Last year there was a major problem with bagged Star Wars figures that finally came to light which had been going on for YEARS before the guy finally got caught. There was also another guy that took NOS plastic bubbles and NOS cardbacks with mint condition figures to make fake NIB toys to pass off as NOS. That has damaged the market severely. Both of these people got away with this for years cause their fakes where perfected. Imagine finding out that a "reputable" NOS dealer of any collectible had not been offering years of excellent service and quality finds as the surrounding community thought but in reality they where just master forgers running a long game that had soaked everyone? These things are happening more and more as tech gets better and better and more accessible to individuals and not just huge company's with industrial machines. The same tech is now at home in your kitchen for $500 that was previously limited to a factory who had $50k to invest for large scale business practice.
