The bottom of the sticker already looks like it has been peeled, I just didn't want to be "that guy" to mention the possibility

When it comes to the sales price for one of these earlier-box Edinger kits, I wonder which would sell for more - the SNIB kit or an opened one with all (or many) of those nice-to-have early kit parts. With all of the speculation lately surrounding how many early kits were released, which parts they included, etc., I'd have to imagine the opened kit might attract higher bids, versus the "mystery box" SNIB kit. Just a thought...

Curiosity would be killing me. You never know, could be a box of rocks (that would be my luck,lol).

thats a very good point, id agree with you! would rather buy a kit knowing exactly which one i am getting.

LETS OPEN THIS KIT THEN SHALL WE? YOU TUBE VIDEO COMING UP!!!!! DONT BE SHY

DO IT !!!

I am not lucky enough to own a bunch of NIB kits,don't even have one.just a few used runners. It would kill me not to know. I love the building part of the hobby. I agree with scr8p open it and take inventory or open it an build it. Just my opinion not criticizing or anything . And very jealous.

10 years, and didn't even peeked at the contents?
When I picked up my TRF201, I could only hold my excitement from the moment it was handed to me to the time I got back to my car. No more than 5 minutes.

lets see that you tube link

open it up and see what u got...

well this solves a mystery why my first nib dual sport didnt have any decals or wheels and tires somebody steamed the seal off took out some parts and sealed it back up .
the seller acussed me of trying to rip him off ranting on about factory seal bla bla bla i ended up swallowing that one .
this will make me think twice before buying any mor NEW IN BOX allthough
my second NIB dual sport had two pans in it a black B stamp and a black A stamp for a 6 gear so kinda made up for it

good luck what ever you decide you never know it could have two sets of goodyears in it

I got a SNIB 6036 Graphite car that when opened, was newspapers and lexan scraps. No joke-

I only buy SNIB off people I know, or opened boxes.

It would be cool to see if it were a "Friday end of shift" kit, My original RC10 had a TWO sets of front tires in it, and an excess of screws, not just a few spares, like a HANDFULL. I thought it was cool.

its funny how abreviations have evoled i thought NIB ment it was new in the box ie unbuilt but know its snib still new in box

Paul

New In Box in the case of kits opened but unbuilt.

Or-

Sealed New In Box
