That’s why they’re rigorously tested, so you can be sure that this model is robust Internal Stock Number: 10497-1 Box Condition: Good -- dinged top left front, dinged corner, some speckling on side. The box is new and sealed. See Pictures. Condition Grading:"Great" with no other notes -- usually reserved for fresh boxes with no noticeable defects. I don't believe in a "mint" condition box -- even out of the factory shipping boxes, I usually find some defects in the form of shelf wear if I look hard enough. But this would be the closest to "mint" that I will sell."Great" with notes -- usually boxes with some minor defects. Usually what you might see on a store shelf. May have some shelf wear, and a couple small corner dings, a faint box cutter scratch, some small creases, a security sticker or price tag, slight edge indentations from spider security wrap devices, etc... Typically what you'd find at a brick and mortar store. "Good" -- Multiple dings, scrapes, creases, security stickers, price tags, indentations. Still a very nice and sturdy box suitable for gifting. "Fair" -- May have a combination of large creases, crunched up corners, heavy shelf wear, small punctures, a box seal popped but still closed from other seals on the side. Usually a result of being squeezed during shipping when I originally bought from an online retailer. Probably not gift worthy, but fine to build. "Poor" -- Reserved for the worst. Box seals on one full side may have popped from stress. Box may have been heavily "pancaked". All sets are weighed and compared to others to ensure that all contents are accounted for. If the seals are fully popped, the contents are inspected and inventoried for completeness. You're getting a box that holds the pieces. These sets are sold with the intention to build.Because the larger sets (>1000 pieces typically) go through more stress during shipment, I am a little more lenient with smaller dings on them than I am with the smaller boxes. In all cases, pictures of all sides are included and I try to use my extra photo allotment to highlight some of the biggest defects for each set. Note: "Relabeled for US" -- During the pandemic shutdowns in 2020, LEGO imported fully-boxed sets into North America to meet demand (most US sets are made in their Mexico factory). However, US regulations require more stringent package labeling. To work around this, LEGO made some large labels and hand-applied (they are not always square...) them to the boxes. If you see this note in the condition description, that's what it is about. I've decided to rate any box no better than "Good" if it has these labels because they are technically factory, but I feel they take away something from the collectable quality of the box. If it's the only condition given, then it probably would have been a "Great" box without them. The non-stock photos in this listing are the photos of the exact same set you will receive -- feel free to zoom in and judge the condition of the set yourself. The set has been kept safe in a smoke-free, pet-free environment. Typically the sets are photographed and bagged when we get them in stock to protect them against any additional wear or damage. It has been carefully wrapped (see pictures) and will ship in a plain cardboard box for discreet receipt in case it is planned as a gift. I usually ship the next day following payment. I have provided a number of shipping options for your selection to suit your needs and budget. I ship globally through ebay's Global Shipping Program. Note the international shipping rates through GSP are 100% determined by ebay based on package weight and dimensions -- I have no influence on the quotes they provide you. I offer full refunds on returns for 30 days in the case you should change your mind. Note you'll be responsible for return shipping and must return the exact item shipped in the condition received -- box condition, box seals still unbroken, etc... I keep records of manufacturing stamps and weights to verify the set in case it must be returned. Thank You and Enjoy!!!
