It serves no purpose in being in the picture database, that I have created. It certainly is nostalgic for us old-timers that were seeing these on the shelves BITD.

It is just a repackage by a store. I think your missing that it was a joke by Fdr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not looking at this as a joke, from the perspective of the original post, as was posted by Fdr. Never gave the second picture a glance, as my mind set was on the conversation, about variants from the actual Activision them selves. When I have spent upteen hours on this project, trying to hone a profession version, for public and future use, I tend to by pass the so called jokes, and pay little attention to them, rather keeping to the subject at hand in a professional stature. Don’t get me wrong, jokes are fine in certain forums, and I enjoy them in their rightful place. I just find them, a distraction in a forum, that I want to keep my conversations on a professional level. As in the future, when these types of posts arrive, I shall digress from making any more comments about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+the1hatman Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Here's a couple I've not seen anywhere else yet... Imagic Truckin' with the corrected part number printed directly on the spine and NOT a sticker cover-up of the error: Not sure how common or uncommon these are but I have only seen this one and it isn't listed on the INTV Funhouse. Vectron Hong Kong box WITH a tray: I found this on eBay a couple of years ago and haven't seen one since. It currently resides in the Blue Sky Rangers archive.

Enjoy searching through your collections again everyone! in so far as the reprint of the proper Truck’n box, I own a copy. As another note, there are lots of boxes, that Are on my picture database, that are not on the INTV funhouse website. Trying to get a response from this website. has been next to impossible, thus the reason no taking on of this extensive picture and database project.

I bought that Vectron last May on Ebay from a UK seller… Still missing that Truckin’ but, honestly, I didn’t pay that much attention… Is it really hard to find? I thought it was rarer the stickered rather than the printed one… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was rarer the stickered rather than the printed one… I apologize, for answering incorrectly about the truckin’ box. On further investigation, my copy is the 7603 variant. Could you please send clear pictures, fron back both spines, and interior contents of the box, as shown on the above post. If history serves correctly, there are now 3 truckin’ variations, with this version, which will be needed to be added to the picture database.

Humblejack Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Ever notice that in order to get this pic the semi's have to be in a head on position. I hope they weren't going very fast! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizewonathome Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) The graphical artist did a great job of depicting this. Look at the Peterbuilt emblem location. it has been graphically changed, as is the front view of said tractor.

Omnibro Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I scored that Vectron version myself a couple months ago, it's not easy to locate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen 2 more since I found the one pictured above in 2018. Probably the sneakiest tough box variant to find, in my opinion, is the full KC text Word Fun made in the US. Even though I own a copy, I've never actually seen a complete in box one available. I had a USA cart and overlays, then got a box, then finally the US manual about 3 years later. To this day, it is the only CIB version I have ever held and it was parted together from 3 different sources. Mine is only complete because someone who I cannot remember for the life of me sent me empty boxes for Word Fun and Math Fun after we had connected through a different eBay sale. He mentioned that he worked for Intellivision early on in development and had a bunch of stuff lying around from that era, including those 2 boxes. Before anyone asks, this was back around 2008-09 and I have no record of who that was or his screen name anymore. It was over 7 years later before I found this forum and got to know everyone better. I wish I had kept his information but my hope is he is somehow here and remembers this transaction, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
