I purchased this online a few years ago (I believe it was from Takara Tomy Mall), and it arrived in its original cardboard box. I've kept it stored like that ever since, but I opened it for these photos and took pictures of the contents from above. I haven't taken the item out of the box. I will ship it as it was received, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to initial scratches or imperfections. Please do not purchase if you are looking for a perfect item. If there are any issues with the contents after opening, please contact Takara Tomy directly. When this item arrived to me, the shipping label was affixed directly to the cardboard box in the image. I will also ship it with the shipping label directly attached to the box. Please only purchase if you agree with this shipping method.
