My US copy has a transparent shield, besides the art set looks to be…. Photocopied?

His feedback is 100% positive but this kit looks weird to me.

Could anyone clear this up?

The Art looks ok to me, but as far as being a complete Kit.....hmmmm...

I dont see the Anti-Static bubble baggie, no plastic baggie for the Art/Dips/MM and you are not even sure if the MVS box has a MOTW label, how about matching serial numbers?

Someone is selling a US MOTW Kit in the selling fourms here......

Cart looks good, all the JPN MotW MVS carts I've seen have been minty green...but I've never seen the contents of a complete kit though :(

Bottom line is, since the guy has good postive feedback...I'd buy the kit.

Codeman1 have also one of these. As from my experience it doesn't look like a boot anywhere.

But a single picture is like a closed book, you never know what's inside. wink

Without a piccy of whats inside the cart shell its impossible to know.
The artwork means nothing.
It may be a perfectly good "kit" but a bootleg cart eek!

The sooner people wake up to this the better.

You could end up with a phoney shell (maybe a boot or even original but wrong official colour or label) but original cart board hardware.

As far as Im concerned as long as the hardware is OK and original its a good cart. To hell with the shell or artwork.

Well, honestly I do care about the art set and all the paraphernalia. I just like complete kits, just a question of taste.

I asked about the shell because some boots use to come with different colour shells, but you are right the point is in the board itself.
