Hi all,
I recently purchased 2 vintage SWAMP SKIERs w/ ZARTAN Figures. Both had broken tape, but advertised contents in factory-sealed plastic bags. Upon examination, here is what I found: Item #1: Blue prints sealed in bag. 1 set of heat stickers in bag Item #2: Blue prints out of bag. 2 sets of heat stickers in bag Which one is the fake, or are there simply variations in the way these were produced? Any insight would be appreciated! |

I would assume it's just a variation since the heat stickers were still in bags. As for having two sets of heat stickers in one box, packaging errors like that aren't unheard of, as a kid I had a Water Moccasin with two of the same half of the vehicle, but not the other half.

Well, I was going to send one of these into afa to test out theuir new "AFA-Qualified" grading scale. I was going to keep the other one because I need a mint zartan for my collection.

The mistake I love the most is getting vehicles with two sticker sheets. I've had a few of those in the past.
