Is that a Boxed “Angry Gordon”. Even if not NIb you should PM Muddy on this one for sure.

trevor369

well, idk what to say.
never been put on the spot like this.
this to me is simply a hobby. but! it is a hobby i love.

but i am honest. i also know my goals.
we all have many goals in regards to this hobby.
my collection is vast. but, i do not come her for bragging rights.

muddy, is this of interest to you?
i assure you, with all due respect...
you can have this free, no questions asked.

just promise 1 thing! and only 1 thing!

preserve your collection! preserve "my" collections. preserve all of "our" collections!

if you can't assure that...
well, just let me know.

Super

Trevor, can you provide a few more pictures of if as well as let us know if it looks to be BNIB or opened, etc...

MuddyPoppins

Yes, could you post pictures of BOTH ends of the box please?

ripley802

@trevor
Are you able to provide some additional pictures of this item?

MuddyPoppins

Yes both ends please?

trevor369

responsibility, calls.
however, this piece, IS NOT- bnib.
it was a nice thought. but the lack of styrofoam - why spellcheck is telling me i misspelled this is idk.
but still nice all the same

unfortunately, this is not bnib.
there are always 2 pieces of styrofoam on either end.
these were there. but there is a third. a flat piece. it was not.
a good re-taping job.
but not enough.
still 20 bucks, i'll take it

MuddyPoppins

Can we PLEASE see both ends of the box?

trevor369

yeah, no problem.
give me a minute. but it is most definitely confirmed.

i could never call this bnib. not with my name attached to it.

here is a plarail gordon.

it is bnib.

but if one wasn't sure...

notice the third piece of styrofoam? between the coal car?

now this is very easy to spot. the third piece is in the window.

but prior to this gordon, other boxes like "the angry gordon" hid this from view.

compare the boxes. see for yourself

Just curious, what is the backstory on this item? Was it purchased from eBay, Japan Auctions, etc???

new york city

a store was going out of business.
a friend of mine, who knows how much, i love these toys.

he "scouts" areas. when "HE" says "you need to come down for this"
I DO! he rarely lets me down.

the funny thing is that, this "sale" kept getting postponed.
a date was set, i would go down. and it was canceled.
this happened 3 times. each time the line would get shorter.

however, the third time, this sale, this going out of business sale...
was scheduled, i was third in line.

and the doors opened
