Don't open it if it is still sealed. You could buy at least 3 opened ones for the price of the sealed one...

It was actually about the same price as an open one and no missing parts.  ;D

Pic 1: Hanging around while I scan the sticker sheet
Pic 2: The medal is slightly different than the one in the box art.
Pic 3: You can see where the sword was broken off from the plastic frame after molding.
Pic 4: When accompanying the general on an important mission, don't forget your bayonet and your suitcase clearly marked "Top Secret."

Wonderful sets!  I surely could not have resisted opening them up.  :-[

A very nice set.  I have a general (or could it be his aide?) which came with some odds and ends of Playmobil.  No sword or belt but, and this makes him very rare, his medal has be put on upside down!

The white plastic shows through where the sword has been broken off the sprue because the items on the sprue have been coated in "gold" after moulding but before being broken off the sprue.

I didn't have this set before, so I had to open it. I did look for open sets, but this one happened to be slightly cheaper...

The general has a stripe on his pants; the aide doesn't. Why does the medal need to be upside down?

I figured it was something like that.
