[edit] Fair use rationale

This image has been checked by a third party against the articles in which it appears. It meets the following fair-use criteria:-

No free alternative possible
- If this is a promotional image from the company, then any "user-supplied" image whose sole purpose was clearly to represent the same copyrighted box/item art (and nothing else, and with no significant artistic input- i.e. a "mechanical" reproduction, whether by scanner or camera) would likely have the same restrictions.
Is being used to demonstrate the product and/or its marketing
- Serves to demonstrate the product being discussed rather than being used in a solely decorative manner.
Does not deprive company of ability to make money in any way
Is not being used in misleading or misrepresentative manner
