Re: That's a Pretty Box...
How do you know for sure there aren't bricks in that box? Unless I was the first owner I would be skeptical. Anyone whose ever been around retail knows how a shrink wrap machine works. The seal could be manipulated too.
I suppose I'm a little paranoid.

Re: That's a Pretty Box...
Maybe someday his kid will be like "Gee thanks Dad, never know when I might need a brick or two"

Reggie started it! He actually found a "brick" in his sealed box. Actually more of a "box of used parts" but still....RJK33 wrote: Yup... You're Paranoid.
Charlie don't surf wrote: I don't know that you could say "worth a ton", it's worth more sealed, but in an honest auction without a mark and a shill, it's a reasonable or decent price. Not knocking that kit, but it's not an early kit, and without it being open, there is no real way to know what's in there ( I bought a SNIB 6036 Graphite team car from ebay to find it re-wrapped and full of newspaper and parts )
If you want to build it and shelve it, then have a blast doing it I say open her up
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: That's a Pretty Box...
Could it be an early Cadillac also?... The box for my Goldpan has the Edinger Address - but some of the internal paperwork (spares price list) has the Cadillac address.... & the spec of the chassis suggest cross-over car.RJK33 wrote:Brian is correct. Late Edinger, but Edinger none the less.
Got to be a good reason to open it up... right?

Re: That's a Pretty Box...
I've said this before but if you dont open it..... someone else will.
It might as well be you.
However in the case that it is filled with used parts or bricks you may want to just keep it nice and sealed.

Re: That's a Pretty Box...
Jugging from the sun fade on the box, I'd say that it's 100% the same kit, I would leave it intact, but if it were an earlier kit, I would open her up......."Will not ship to Canada" gets me every time
