- v***n (645)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem received partially as described. Very well packaged and shipped on time. Although the description of 6 sealed units received out of 22, indicated as "Many Still Sealed", does not do justice to this posting and is rather deceiving. Otherwise a good transaction. Thank you.Reply from: duluthsalesinc- Feedback replied to by seller duluthsalesinc.- Feedback replied to by seller duluthsalesinc.I agree ! sorry about that!!!
- o***b (158)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem received as advertised. The boxcar was loose in the box with a little plastic wrap tossed in (I could hear it moving around in the box before opening it). I far as I can tell, nothing was damaged. I like the detail of the model and it will go well with the display I'm putting together. Thank you!
