I was lucky enough to get a code for purchasing the Mega Man 9 press kit a couple of weeks ago and today my order has arrived. Capcom put together 200 of these in celebration of the release of Mega Man 9.

The actual kit is a real NES cartridge that has been stripped of screws and logic board, then reassembled with magnets and a new label. The first auction for one of these on eBay went for $750 but as you can see (since I opened it) I’ll be keeping mine!

Here are some photos I’ve taken of the unboxing:
