New falcon (still sealed)

[yoda]

Hi everyone just got a new falcon sealed in boxed, do you know are there many of these about over this way?

Hi, welcome to the boards, what falcon have you got? vintage or modern,

 

[yoda]

Hi thanks its the old one. Had one of the early 80s falcons as a child with figures. Now I am on my quest to replace all I had when young with new. I have a few graded figures here as well. Luke farm boy, and han, have a lot of carded figures near mint.
I have all my originals still here too, wife thinks am mad!

KEEP IT SEALED!!!!




....sorry....had a bad reaction there!

 

[yoda]

I was thinking that, if I opened it i would probably go .

 

[grinchy]

Yes keep it sealed!

 

[Stuart Skinner]

Definitely keep it sealed. If you want a nice loose one to display treat yourself to another one

Hello, and congrats on scoring a sealed Falcon. They are rare and usually many orders of magnitude more expensive / valuable than unsealed. Did you buy it on Ebay or luck into it?

The obvious danger in sealed items, for a new collector, is that unscrupulous sellers could 'reseal' a box (same goes for carded figures too). But if you're not sure then you can always post a pic on here (try and get a close up of the tape seal) and experienced collectors are always happy to chime in.

I'm going to be controversial.. DO NOT open it... :lol:

Ok guys thanks she won't be opened. That's a good idea about the pictures so you can check was everything resealed. Which parts will I take a picture off? The tape is rotten on one side I can take pictures of the ship and parts they are all still sealed. You guys could check if it's for real.
Let me know and I will go get her.

Hello there, if the tape has dried off and you can actually open the box to get at the toy, then in terminology that wouldn't be a 'sealed' item anymore it would be described as NRFB which stands for 'never removed from box'. Still a great item but quite a big difference in value from an actual sealed example.

OK thanks sorry about that guys I am no expert on these figures but like everyone I know the movies inside out. I am not really worried about its value I am just hoping its not a fake. Is there any way you will know if its fake by the stickers or parts in bags? I will try to get some pics up in next 2 hrs.
I now know I shouldn't have listed sealed with rotten tape on box sorry about that.
