Now the million dollar question...do you:
A) break the seal and verify it's all there
B) don't break the seal and possibly own a box of rocks

Didn't someone say they took a sealed box to the airport to have it X-rayed? I swear I read that here, but it may just be my imagination.

It is 100% legit, complete and in mint condition - all factory sealed, shrinkwrapped and bought from a hobby shop along with an original Dyna Storm and Schumacher Storm :)

Not going to break the seal ;)

Associated cars have never been shrink wrapped as far as I can remember. Maybe the shop did it? As long as the seal looks clean and not tampered with, but a lot can be done with a heat gun.

Congratulations, once in a RC lifetime find.

Yes it was maybe wrapped by the distributor.....the associated seal sticker on the box to prevent the lid opening is intact too under the shrinkwrap......great they wrapped it as it kept the box nice and clean. :)

My friend found it in the Canary islands in a small shop.

Sooooo just wondering did you pay full retail for it?
Remember it's either a runner or a shelfer. Everything else is just parts.
