Well, I didn't buy it. I would never place bids in auctions from untrustworthy sellers.. Michael Is it just me or does that box look a little strange?

Looks like the box had been through the wash! Gotta keep 'em clean somehow, right? ;D pulse8

Hmm, I occasionally iron old boxes to give them the nice flat / square look again, but washing ;D

... funny that you mention ironing. I have also ironed warning and caution leaflets which were damaged. Thought I was the only idiot who did that! ;D

Hi Laurens, that's a really cheap price. Most NMIB or MIB Climber sells for US$110-120 on Ebay.

I thought there would have been a lot more late bids on it.

Don't I know it Nelson? I am utterly amazed to have won this auction. Shame the instructions are scrawled over, but I didn't bid on the auction for those. Very surprised there were no (other) last minute bids. I am a lucky boy. ;D looks like there *may* be some crystal bleeding which is a shame but we will see.....

Or maybe he deliberately took the photos out of focus to hide something?

I considered this before I bid, and decided that the box was clearly in good enough condition (with all its flaps etc.) to go for it!
The guy said that the instructions are scribbled all over anyway, so it doesn't matter that *that* picture was OOF (good acronym!!). As for the game, well - I should have requested better pictures before I bid. I'm expect a sub-standard game, but I already have a c9.5 flagman so I'm not worried ;D
