I about shit myself when I saw it on eBay, so I was sure to snatch it up. I've got a high res scanner, so I can get some scans for the site. Now I just need to figure out how rare it is, what it's worth, and where the hell it comes from. It has to be either a store display or a rerelease after the discount offer ended.

I'll do some asking on my side, I know a few collectors store owners and one of them collect mega man (he was impressed by your collection)
I haven't actually seen others with no stripe so I'm guessing its a rare little gem. I feel like if it was a rerelease, they would be more common.

from what I've seen on the internet, @Matt and I have the only two copies of this. Can't find anything else about a variant box for MM2 except our two threads on this forum.

the UPCs are the same, but the flaps inside the box at the top are different. The variant is identified as NES-XR USA-1 while the normal box is NES-XR USA. Additionally, the right side of the variant box says "For sale and use in the USA, Canada, and Mexico only" underneath MEGAMAN 2 in white letters; this is not present on the original box. The REV-A identifier on the variant box is in white, while printed in black on the original.
Also, on the right tab on the inside is a number printed in gold. My original box has the number 91109, and the variant has 20311. @matt, what is the number on your variant?
They also seem to be different colors. The original is more of a purple dominant color, while the variant is more of a blue dominant color.

I kinda fucked up though and scanned it off center, could anyone who is good with photo editing crop it and fix that? I'm gonna make an entry for this variant so this can be the picture for it once it's fixed.
