So i ordered Magician lord which obtains only the cartridge and manual for cheap money. I thought about just buying a big bear box and an insert.

comparing pictures, 1 internet original the other from south-town inserts

My question is are the big bear boxes and the first edition aes boxes identical? I would be really thankful if someone can upload pictures comparing the two, i never hold an AES box i just recently got into the AES gaming and played mostly on a converter.

Also whats up with this south town logo down right, is this logo really in there? Its the SNK farewell screenshot if you look closer instead of the UPC. Is that really in there?

No, the shock boxes are much, much larger. It'll still fit okay.

Keep in mind, those inserts are fan made, they were never intended to look exactly like the original.

If having a box was a big concern for you, you could have just gotten a CIB Magician Lord for $60 or so. Otherwise, just enjoy the game.

Those inserts and containers ARE "fan made" specifically for MVS cartridges BUT will fit AES. If you need an official AES insert and container/case I could probably help out. You live in Germany so the postage fee would be about 15 USD alone which means you would have fared better buying the game complete from the outset.

That Magician Lord insert on Southtown is very low resolution, I had to have them replace it with a different one a couple months ago when I ordered it. Looked like crap, all pixilated.
