There seem to be two different boxes of the 6209 set.
1) without part count and added text. This one has enbossing in the cardboard
under the slave 1 and minifigures.
2) with parts count and added text '2 new bounty hunters' and the same
text in French. Not sure if this one has the enbossing also.

Is the box version something that should be mentioned when selling this set,
or do collectors not care?

Packaging made for the North American market (United States, Canada, and Mexico)
has to have the part count on it, and some of the text on them are usually also
in Spanish and French besides English (since those are the three most widely
used languages in North America).

The European market does not require this, so the packaging made for over there
does not have the added information.

This occurs on all modern LEGO products, but the packaging sizes are usually
identical.
