Custom NES Action Set packaging

[GameScanner.org]

A prototype of an NES Action Set retail packaging with an insert tray I've been working on. Placeholder images, the box still has some kinks to work out.



Here's a six-minute vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0VEq19iDxw

I'm posting this here because it's probably the best place with the goal to find out if it will generate any interest. If not, it's going to be one expensive experiment :)

Not bad looking at all.
Color impressed.

Cool, I guess, but why? I know I don't need a box and I don't have an NES anymore anyway. NES Classic is all I need.

Why we case games instead of just storing them in plastic bags on shelves?
Because it looks good and the things are protected.

This is one of the coolest experiments I have ever seen! That box looks really good! Your custom inner cardboard tray looks even better than the original styrofoam tray. Are you planning on making other boxes? I'd like to see you make the retail NES Action Set box. Can you also make a box for the NES Deluxe Set? How about a box for the Super Nintendo? This is making me drool.

Once I open a game system, I NEVER put it back in the box. I just figured most people were the same. I understand for games, just like movies, you want them displayed nicely on the shelf with artwork. I just don't see the same need for hardware, I mean would you pack up your Blu Ray player after every movie you watch? Not me, I keep everything hooked up.

But think us idiots who own multiple copies of most consoles...
Once in a while we just must store some of them.

I'am planning on making boxes I own. This means NES Action SET and SNES Super Set. For now at least.

A snapshot of dielines.

I'm looking forward to those boxes. If you're planning on making a lot of them, I would be interested in buying one.
