In Europe CyberMaster was sold in a card box and the only exception I know off was Germany were it was sold in an aluminium box.
If the box is has drawings that look like an aluminium box, you have seen the real box.

Sorry, I was unclear.

It appears to be in a plastic case, _perhaps_ looking something like the
German version (which I've only seen photos of from brochures).

The handle of the plastic case appears outside of the cardboard
"slip-cover" (it's packaged like the yellow-and-black case for 8062, in
case people are familiar with that packaging), so you can get a look at
the handle.  The handle has a futuristic beam-and-girder look to it, and
there appeared to be sliding "locks" on the edges of the handle, so you
can seal the case closed with them.

But the rest of the case is sealed in the cardboard (thin stuff, like
the cardboard that comes with roadplates, or that which was on the
outside of 8064), so you can't tell what the entire case looks like.  It
didn't look metallic colored.

Was the German case _actual_ aluminum, or was it just chrome-colored
plastic?
