I completely understand what you're saying and have to say I agree. However, the barcode I have is the same as the original poster who is being told his is rare. That was why I asked, in my first post, are these really rare?

That's the US UPC. A winner is you. Rare is a matter of opinion. Smurfs 2 is pretty rare but now we know there are people with boxes full of them compared to when we knew of only a few in the world. Maybe there's thousands of US surplus Sonics sold in the UK. Sell it and buy a European one and play the game

Ha I've bought another for a few quid and am waiting on that being delivered. I'll have a go at flogging this one and hope that there is someone desperate enough for it reward me handsomely for stumbling across this website and a post about a rare game.

All these UPC sticker games have more chances on eBay, if you're looking for big profit.

I'll stick it on EBay and see what happens I think. I don't know the history of the game at all cos I've only had it a couple of weeks and that worries me a bit. I can just be honest in the description I suppose and ensure the pics are clear so anyone that might want it can make their own mind up. It does seem a lot of fuss about nothing. God bless collectors.

Barcode on mine reads 0 1008607076 7. Are we saying this is not rare? yes that is the correct barcode for US sonic and yes it is rare. As for the validity of the sticker, i'm sure there's lots of scammers, but going by what u paid it seems legit. The way to check it is to remove the paper insert and look at the bottom of the barcode sticker, it should be black. Here's a pic to show u: Attachments:

Thanks, have checked and it is black. I guess that wouldn't be too hard to forge either though? I suppose with these nobody can ever be 100% certain. Everything points to this being legit though.
Doesn't look like the other one has been put up for sale yet.

So that seller is confusing things further by trying to say the Aus version (picture 4 on his auction) is the usual Euro version!? He thinks that the Euro version has a white grid on the cart sticker and a hints and tips number on the box.. Totally wrong and misleading.

I know, the seller is totally unfamiliar with SMS, that's not the point. This different UPC proves that it's unnecessary to say that you have a US version, as soera first brought to light. I'm not gonna say a word again about this silly STICKER!
