Hello all,

I got this about 5-8 yrs ago from a collector who sold me a bunch of Mega Man stuff.  I never had the heart to open it cause it was sealed.  I still havent opened it.  Has anybody seen this or received a box from Capcom like it?  I have a big feeling it's Mega Man and may even open it someday.  I guess I'll wait and see if anybody here knows what it is

thanks ~ Am

Take it to an airport, or the court house and put it through the x-ray machine. I would imagine they would be nice enough to tell ya.

The postmark is 1997 and the box is about 6' X 4' and about four inches deep - hope that makes sense

Well i'm not positive they would. But if I worked at one I'd help you out. Worth a shot.

Just make sure you wear a trenchcoat, hat, and sunglasses when you walk into the court house with a box so you don't look under-dressed

I'd just open it. It's probably some promo if anything. If it's a promo or something, it's probably sealed in it's own package inside the outer box. the outer box looks just like a standard capcom shipping box.

Not that I think it's worth anything near this, but the date is the same and the size fits too...maybe I will open it and post pics of whatever it is.

Auction: Limited Edition Mega Man Resin Statue
Looking to spruce up your Mega Man collection? Got a thousand dollars to blow? Then you might want to check out what ebay brings us today:

Up for bidding is a limited edition Mega Man resin statue created in 1997 in conjunction with the Blue Bomber's 10th anniversary. Only 1,000 were ever produced, originally distributed to those who mailed in Mega Man 8's proof of purchase code and an extra $24.95. This particular statue is number 91 out of the lot. Of note however, the statue once had a resin crack near an arm, but has since been repaired.

Bidding starts at $1,000 USD (with free shipping). View the complete auction here. I don't know about you, but I think that's just a wee bit too much when you consider the original price point...

Open it and take a video, man! That way, at least if it's an epic fail moment, you've got it on tape so we can all have a laugh with you

Open it, the outer shipping box being sealed won't make it worth anymore no matter what is. You will never be able to "prove" what is in there any other way.

O.K. - for all my Nintendoage friends, I did it! Here are some pics from what was inside. I'm kinda glad I opened it - I actually forgot all about it till I was moving some things - plus I think the lil blue bomber needed some fresh air I didn't take him all the way out though cuz I didn't want to break the little guy - Chow ~ Am

I was gonna suggest perhaps it was number 172/1000 for the model because the outside of theo box had 172 on it

That's just cool beyond words. I need to get me one of them someday, it'll display great with a Mega Man 9 box.
