Got my first 2600 system box

[+Omegamatrix]

I got a 2600 4 switch woody in the mail today and it came with the box. Why does the picture on the box show a 4 switcher with molding like a heavy sixer? Are they all like this? The system I got is just like any other 4 switcher with the angled molding, but the picture on the box most definitely has molding like that of a heavy sixer. I couldn't find any scans of system boxes on AA.

If you take a close look at the box, you will see that the 4 switch panel is super-imposed over the 6 switch panel. Was probably a lot cheaper than making a whole new box.

Them cheap bastards! I was hoping I had something unique here. All in all though I'm just glad I have a box now.

Yep. They were cheap. They only time they actually re-shot the box art was for the "vader" model -- that does actually show a real vader. All prior models showed some odd variant of the "heavy" set.

It was interesting seeing the pictures on the box. Sort of like a little mini time-capsule. I swear I had the same shirt as the kid pictured above the right joystick.

I just got my first box in the mail today - it's a vader. I wonder why the cartridge in the console has the end label blacked out...Are the non-vader boxes the same?

On my box I have a combat cart leaning against the 4 switch 2600 woody with the end label blacked out. Perhaps though your cart turned to the dark side of the Atari.
