I’ve found it came with rereleases from the V-force era, but it didn’t come in a box of that era. They reprinted the old boxes, so it seems.
Did you get one new out of the box and can you confirm this theory? :
Yeah I got a reprinted Bakushin-oh without the snail bit-beast but had the longer chip. It was kind of a let down for me, which is why i'm wary to get the NIB versions. Normally I wouldn't mind trading the reprint, but the issue is the attack ring on mine shattered on one part, so I can't in good conscience say "SURE LET'S TRADE" it wouldn't be fair
Quite funny - As I don't want to buy a NIB one because 9/10 I'd end up with an original one with Bit Chip Protector and there's no way to make out what's actually inside the box... ;-)
What I've also learned is: The Hasbro box where the name is on the actual box was the first Hasbro release, the Hasbro Box where the name is on the cardboard part that is used to hang the boxes on store-shelves is the second Hasbro Release (not necessarily the V-Force Release with long Bit Chip).
Not sure if I'm making myself clear, so I'll post a comparison from Google.
I'd like to know which box yours was in - as that would narrow my search ;-) - I'm pretty sure it was in a second release box?
For now my theory is right as mine came out of a first release box and has a Bit Chip Protector.
Best bet for you: search for a box of the first Hasbro Release.
And from what I have learned: Bakushin-Oh never was released in a V-Force Box, but the instruction manual that came with the reprints did come with the V-Force Logo.
First Hasbro Release:
Second Hasbro Release:
