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 catch is that the cardboard *appears * to be a slip-cover. If the US
packaging is like the European packaging, there is *no* plastic case inside
the cardboard, evene whil the plastic handle strongly suggests so!
WARNING: if you open this package by tearing of the cardboard you will find
yourself with no case left at all.
