    Well, it wouldn't be difficult to mockup that box art like that - and it's not often we see the Encore's in boxes until right before their release, so i'm doubtful!

    It's a picture of the older giftset isn't it?

    Anyway, hope it's coming, because then I'll be right.

    This is the Takara G1 giftset:



    This is the above image:



    If it is a fake, it's more than just a blurred photo. They put the Encore badge in the top left and updated the Takara logo to be a TakTomy one. But yeah, they don't look that natural.

    Actually, I wager it's a fake because it looks like it's in styrofoam, which wouldn't be the case.

    I cannot see if it is foam or not inside the box. Keep in mind that TakTom uses paper + plastic trays and no longer foam in their packaging.

    Edit:
    Just noticed Jay's observation.

    I think it's inevitable that he'll be reissued... but it's hard to tell if this is really the box art!

    How hard is it for people to take non-blurry photos in the day and age. Unless this was intentional?
