My castle has arrived! It was indeed New In Box and I cant describe the feeling of seeing all of those sealed bags! As George suggested, I will do a review. It will take me a while though (work, children etc must intrude
).
Here are some shots of the unveiling..
The set was very well packaged.
The front of the box. Some of the original tapes securing it closed were still in place. I am unsure it it had ever been opened to look at the contents. There was a tear to the front, but the box was otherwise in good shape.
First peek inside. As you can see, the contents were unsecured, with larger pieces just randomly placed inside, however some wall pieces were held in compartments at either side. The building pieces were secured by elastic bands and the small parts were all in their sealed bags (except for one trunk!).
The set contains two carboard "drawers" - each holds a number of pieces. This photo is of the top drawer (jumbled unfortunately, as I was excited).
This is the second drawer.
Both drawers side by side.
