This is kind of cool. He's selling authentic looking boxes for pack-in NES games. His site advertises custom boxes made to order too. If I had extra money I'd ask about getting something done for my repro cartridges. How awesome would Sweet Home look on the shelf next to my boxed games?

He's most likely getting these batch printed. Custom jobs would be difficult to justify unless there was a large demand for them. Every collector after a complete boxed NES collection has considered their SMB/Duck Hunt cart naked, there's a feasibly larger market for that than one-off repro designs for releases that technically never were.

Which is why he's already selling those. Maybe his custom services are targeted at a homebrew market?

Batch printing means in the thousands, usually. Just saying.

Are you in need of custom made NES items? Large boxes, small boxes, manuals, posters, other inserts, and you need a designer and a place to print them? look no further. Email info@uncletusk.com for all the answers you need.

That's what I'm saying the only purpose for this advertisement would be for brand new NES product then (homebrew release). Not like anyone needs 1000 replacement Dragon Warrior posters.

that site is cool. it even have the Styrofoam Blocks to make your NES games "Complete".

Plus it's the "GRAND OPENING" so this is a place in progress.

Nice website find.

The store has some nice games too. I was considering ordering until I saw the Wukong thread.

I've picked up two of his custom boxes from his sale threads on the forums (SMB/DH and SMB/DH/WCTM) and I can verify that they are of very high quality and look great next to the other boxed games in my collection.
