    Default NES System Boxes/Bundles...How Many, Oldest, Rarest...

    So here is my question....I know that the NES came in a bunch of different boxes, with a bunch of different stuff, i.e. Power Set, Action Set. So how many different sets are there, including variations, since I think there was a Action set with a gray and orange gun. Also what is the rarest. And which one was the original set.

    I searched for this for a while, but you tend to get a lot of hits for "NES Boxes" so Im sorry if this came up already. But if not it would be great information for most collectors, old and new.

    Control Deck (packed with Super Mario Bros.)
    Control Deck (packed with Super Mario Bros. 2)
    Control Deck (packed with Super Mario Bros. 3)
    Challenge Set (packed with Super Mario Bros. 3)
    Action Set (packed with SMB/DH) (2 box types)

    There must be more, but since i don't live in the states i don't know them all, so someone has to add packs to the list

    I'd like to see the Control Deck packed with SMB2...that's the only one I never heard of
    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    I'd say the Deluxe Set is the rarest to find complete, just because it has the most parts.

    The Nintendo Entertainment System Sports Set

    It consisted of NES console, four control pads, Four Score (4-player adapter), and this compilation game of Super Spike V'Ball and Nintendo World Cup.

    And from what I've learned, the Sports Set is the rarest one out there.

    The Deluxe Set and Power Set, both complete, are also uncommon.

    The deluxe set with ROB definatley has to be the rarest! The sports set is also rare.

    I don't think there was ever a set released with SMB2, at least in the states. I'm almost positive there isn't???
