OptOut | 9,031 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) I wasn't sure whether to post this in recent pick-ups or actually make a separate thread, but I think this is cool and unusual enough for its own thread, and there's nothing else online about it, so here we go! This is the Japanese version of Dai Senryaku VII, a long running war strategy game, for OG XBOX. It's unusual, however, because this is a big box version that comes with a little model Helicopter from the game! I've searched around a little in the usual places and found no mention of this Big Box version. None of the US copies on eBay come with it, so I presume this was a limited, Japanese exclusive release! The model itself is packaged in its own little blister pack with a little black and white leaflet, and more branding on the back. And, so far this is basically all I know! I've seen other Japanese copies of the game for sale, but never the Big Box, only the game, and I have no idea how many of these were produced or whether there are other models in the set or if different boxes came with different vehicles, but I KNEW I had to have it as soon as I saw it!

drxandy | 3,279 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Nice dood! Yeah, I didn't know this big box existed, thank you for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup | 2,482 Administrator · Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Nice find Opt! Hopefully you got a decent price - I usually see that one for somewhere around $100 USD, so if you got it much cheaper, I think you got a good deal! This is the WTM (World Tank Museum) Daisenryaku Edition (WTM大戦略エディション) or WTM Grand Strategy Edition. I believe initial copies of the game were released this way, and the barcode on the box should match the barcode on the case which is what most believe to be the standard edition. This is a collaboration with the World Tank Museum series. You can see some info here (rough translation) Nice find! Most copies out there now don't have the outer box or bonus figure. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's awesome! So I guess a ton of these lost the box and toy along the way, huh? I wonder how many copies they made of this addition, as opposed to the standard edition without the box? Also, yes... Rest assured I got this for a despicably low price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should try and find the kit to add to my box on that! However I DO actually have a complete big box version of Choro Q (Penny Racers) for N64, which comes with a little model car kit. Maybe we should start a list of games that come with toy models, looks like there's more than you'd expect, lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather enjoyed my time with the game. Was probably one of the very few who bought it when it came out and played the crap out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
