Illuminatus Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I was browsing eBay and came across this peculiar listing of what appears to be a sealed Von Nebula set but in a narrower box. Is this a bootleg or is it a legitimate release of the set? I've never heard of one set having boxes in different sizes before. Perhaps its a regional variation of sorts?

Aanchir Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 LEGO did have some sets in alternate-sized boxes when they were transitioning to smaller boxes a few years back, but that was in 2013, well after Von Nebula would've been retired. But the box in that listing does look authentic. Your guess is as good as mine. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminatus Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) I did some browsing on WorthPoint as well, and the smaller box occasionally comes up. Here and here. So it appears to be authentic. While this seems to be an odd listing of crushed boxes that have the name localized in French. Possibly a Canadian release? I suspect these smaller Von Nebula sets may be a part of 2-in-1 package; I'll go ahead and see if Rotor has similar smaller boxes. EDIT: There it is once more; it looks like it says Von Nébuleux on the smaller box as well. Edited December 9, 2017 by Illuminatus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
