boxpressed Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I was sorting through some old unsorted games and made an interesting discovery (to me). There is a variant within a variant for Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack. For those made in Hong Kong, on the bottom flap, some say "Manufactured for Mattel by Radofin Electronics (Far East) Ltd." instead of only "Manufactured for Mattel." This applies to the Keyboard Component box and the non-KC box too. So there are at least FOUR Hong Kong Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack box variants. Is anyone aware if other titles have the Radofin marking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Cool! If you have a flatbed scanner, you know what to do. What are the part numbers on these boxes? Are they the -0401 "international" variants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 There are variants of variants in the Radofin Soccer because one has overlays printed in the USA and one has them printed in Hong Kong. They are different shades of colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Findings: The one on the left is the only one that references the Keyboard Component on the front. I guess it's the rarer variant The part numbers are 2611-0910 G1 and 2611-0910 for Regular and KC boxes respectively. I checked a good chunk of my Hong Kong games and didn't find any others. I did find a few Taiwan variants of LV P&B, though I love that unique cartridge retention system they used.
