Box is sealed and is in near-great condition (7.5/10).
Very large box that is structurally excellent, but unfortunately has a pierced tear at the front (due to poor packing for transport). Clear tape was used to cover this tear, as well as a small label scrape. Since I already applied tape to box, I applied tape to both the top and bottom edges of the box (to prevent edge dents and shelf wear).
Box has a few minor creases at the front and a corner, and a few very minor dents on the front & back. If not for the pierced tear, the box would be in excellent condition.
The last 9 images above are of the actual item and illustrates the condition. The taped sections on the box are indicated in image 8 of 15 (digitally highlighted in red).
Retired set, and hard to find.
Set contains 4002 pieces.
