    Item 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.

    Item 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!
