The set is new with the commercial seals intact.

The box is fully intact but is showing signs of wear and tear from storage and handling over the last 12 years or so. I have tried to photograph all the imperfections and have included them in the photos above. The commercial seals remain intact but one of them appears to have become loose and resealed on the inner part of the box - photos of the seals can be found above.

Please see the photographs as they are of the item that is being advertised in this listing and is of the item you will receive should you buy this set. The photographs form an integral part of this description.

As mentioned in some of my other listings this item was purchased for one of my children, unfortunately their enthusiasm for Lego didn't match their father's!

The box dimensions 58cm x 48cm x 9cm and the set weighs in excess of 2kg, whilst one of the dimensions exceeds the maximum for a medium parcel (46cm) the set will fit, if tilted into a maximum size box. 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
