Even though it really isn't exactly my main focus it is still Meccano and relatively a hard piece to track down. It was on ebay as some of you may have seen and didn't go the distance as I made an offer. ( Sorry to anyone that was disappointed ) It has been resealed on the left side but was never opened on the right. I took a quick shot for you.

I am afraid that was opened and is a custom painted figure (look at the grey detailing on the figure)
Unfortunately if you made the seller a tempting buy out offer off of ebay to end early then I think the fault lies with you on this one..(I know the seller and he was shocked at your offer but to be honest, I would have accepted it too - the auction had a clear picture and the description read: "The bubble has been resealed on this one, but it still comes with a good figure and weapon. The bubble does have a crack in the top")
The bubble IS hard to find though, so it's not a total loss but you may want to put a non custom painted figure inside?
