I thought the white sticker on bottom were the English UK variants, produced in UK & sold in Australia. Thats why you sometimes see them  in UK. I believe this is correct, no?

Normally, the white sticker is Lifestyle Electronics for the Australian market on either a 0810 UK box or a 0410 international box (and there are variants in wording and font on those as well). The 0810 red Space Battle that Humblejack posted above is one of those. The Backgammon box has US text on it, which is different.

Thanks a lot Cmart!

This is the misterious white botton flap sticker!!!

 

Two years ago I lost an auction of a Checkers listed by that german seller that listed also a Spiker that got sold for 1.200 bucks.

It had the same white sticker on the bottom flap.

Does anyone know a bit more about that white stickers? Only for the UK market ? How many games have been spotted so far with that sticker?

 

This backgammon is a 0410 with or without slots back for manual? Or the 0810 one?

Which manual does it have?

 

This is the 0810 one and yes from the UK with an 0820-G1 manual. What's interesting is instead of being an ACE UK box with a Lifestyles AUS sticker like Steve mentioned, it has the HK/USA/HK sticker. Haven't seen this too often.

As Steve references, my Australian Backgammon is the 0410 box with the Lifestyles sticker on the bottom.

But that picture does not say Lifestyle on it, it just talks about Mattel Electronics in the United States.

Yes that's not my Australian one though, I was just saying normally a white sticker on the bottom would be Lifestyles, not what I have in the pic. 

[Morpheus]

Absolutely Folks,

The white stickers for the Australian maket, on bottom or top flap, always have Lifestyle.

 

That white sticker could be for the UK market or… South Africa.

To date we have only two documented games:

Backgammon - Cmart picture 

Draughts (Checkers) - here the pics I did save:

Not to get off the current topic or anything, but this is a variant question for catalogs. Does anyone else have this Sears Tele-games catalog? Is it fairly rare? Im going to be listing some catalogs soon on ebay and not sure if im gonna include it.

I’ve got this.  I think as far as Sears catalogs go, it is among the rarest.

I feel like we discussed stickers on box bottoms but can't remember where/when.

This was on the list right? 
 

Could you please provide all views of this box. It is currently not in my global picture database. Thanks in advance

Never seen! Nice piece indeed!

 

While you run out of your house to save your three most valuable Intellivision pieces, you should tell your wife to get that catalog if she wants you to get back to take her too!!!🤣🤣🤣

Hi again Folks!
While I was looking for all my Carnival's variants, I found a new variant of the Space Battle 0910 Red Action Network box.

It has a red sticker on the bottom flap that states that overlays and catalog are printed in U.S.A. and balance in Hong Kong.

 

Basically there are three bottom flaps of the 0910 Red Action Network.

1 - Just two lines text, just a generic "MADE IN U.S.A."

2 - Three lines text, "cartridge made in Hong Kong, overlays printed in U.S.A., balance made and printed in Hong Kong."

3 - Red sticker on bottom flap, "cartridge made in Hong Kong, overlays and catalog printed in U.S.A., balance printed in Hong Kong"

 

Front cover and top flaps and all the rest are identical.

Here the pics. (Unfortunately the red sticker faded to almost white).

 

I have Found a copy of pictures to reflect the Hong Kong Sticker version of Space Battle. It is now added to the Global Picture database as

Space Battle (RED) BX Mattel 2612-0910 KBC PTN BK-WH CATSTK HK 1980. A copy of the Tracker Picture enclosed here

Rog, for the sake of simplicity if you want to just mail it to me directly that would be great. 😎😂

Hi Folks!

I’m pleased to share with you my last new entry: a Night Stalker South Africa edition, distributed by Metlionics! It took me 6 months of negotiations to grab it and have it delivered at my place… But it was absolutely worth it! 🤠🤠🤠

 

It’s a 0910 made in HK with plastic tray.

 

To date, we have three documented Metlionics games:

 

- PGA Golf

- Horse Racing

- Night Stalker

 

Does anyone else have some other game distributed by Metlionics?

If yes please share!!!🤠🤠🤠

Continue collecting them, and eventually I will ad them to the Global Picture database

[Morpheus]

Hi Folks!

Hope that your collection is doing great!

 

I just bought this B-17 Bomber having the white bottom flap sticker Lifestyle Electronics (manufactured by Mattel variant) for the aussie market.

 

 

Very first time I’ve seen an Intellivoice game with that sticker…

I wonder if now we would have to assume (and search) that also the other three ones exists with that sticker…🤠🤠🤠

It looks like there is still one more on Australia ebay. Not in as good of condition. If you look at the second pic you can see the white label peeking over the top of the instruction manual. I bought this. Whey it gets here I'll put it up on ebay.

Hi All,

Look what just showed up today. I hope I am not stealing Morpheus's thunder by posting this before he does, after all it is his discovery.

This is the B-17 Australian release. Please note that the sticker on the inside cover and the sticker in the Intellivoice instructions are quite different.
