And Jack Narz plugged the BTC home game on the late-60s syndie version.
IIRC, the contents of the box were identical in every edition of the MB game ... only the stunts changed.

There were two editions of the MB BTC game, and the first one had six small wood blocks that were missing from the second edition (the three foam sponge green cubes were present in both editions, I think).
An interesting sidelight about the large stunt cards: when MB had a surplus of these left over after the game ended production, they cut them up into smaller slabs that were used as backing for the rubber-banded MB bucks in other games. One of these ended up supporting the $100 and $500 bills in an Operation game that two boys I knew from past holiday get-togethers got as a Christmas gift in 1975.
MB also found a new use for the plastic shopping carts from their Supermarket Sweep game: one apiece ended up in all their copies of Feeley Meeley as one of the items kids tried to feel for. In a reversal of this trend, the plastic covers that they used in Eye Guess had previously been part of an old '50s game, Pivot, not based on a TV show.
