Yoda, to put the pics on SWFUK you just right click on the pic and then in the 'properties' you copy the URL. Then on SWFUK you select the Img tab and paste in the URL. See below...

It's actually hard to tell from the pics - is the tape still on it or has it completely rotten away and just left a brown residue. It certainly looks like the box is still sealed. Might be worth sending the pics to UKG (toy grading) and asking their opinion - if they would grade it as sealed then that would be well worth doing from a financial investment perspective.

Ok cheers, I cant tell either? its hard to know I am afraid now to nearly touch it I think its real I hope its not a fake. What year do you think it is?

It's a Kenner US box from 1983. It all looks vintage to my eyes, it doesn't look like new tape has been laid on top so I don't think it's a reseal. The old tape looks to have dried off but the seal on the cardboard flaps has held (and yes is probably fragile). If the flaps were open and it was a mint NRFB example then I would value it at £300 - £350, but if you had it graded as a sealed example then that value would probably be closer to £1300 imho (I don't have a huge experience in values of graded items and others might have a better idea on £). I dont normally advocate grading but with the dried tape this is kinda a 'grey area' so definitely worth sending UKG an email imho and looking seriously at grading it as sealed if they are willing to do so.
