Finally found a Defiant!

So I overnighted this to AFA & they wouldn't grade it as factory sealed only qualified. Due to one side being double taped which I knew about.
I just figured it had been done at the factory like they forgot to add some pieces to the box so they cut the tape then resealed it again... Both tapes are exactly the same type, that old school cello and are identical to each other yet AFA still said negative on it. I'm depressed. Oh well at least I'll get my $ back. This is why I either buy shit already graded (for investment) or misb to open + enjoy. The amount I paid for this I wouldn't want to just open and devalue it.

I'm truly sorry about that. Do you plan on trying to find another Mauler?

Do you mean you are going to return the Mauler to the seller?

Affirmative. The only reason I paid what I did for it was because it was sealed. Now it's just mib if that. Who knows what's inside or the condition...
I'm not going to find out because I'd have to open it & jeopardize my refund. Honestly now that I think about it the seller knew what was up because I asked about the tape before I bought it. He was just playing dumb

That sucks to hear. I wish I had that type of money to be able to buy vintage MISB stuff though.
I remember when I got the Mauler as a gift when it first came out, the one I had was missing pieces and I never had the mic for Heavy Metal. Another one was the WHALE. The one I got was broken in the box. I never noticed that they were all on sale cause they had issues. The price tag actually has hand written on it that it had broken or missing pieces. I was lucky that mine only had broken tab on sled door and boarding ramp so I was still able to display the vehicle and enjoy it. I just couldn't have the ramp open and have my figures using it.

Unless of course everything inside was already assembled with stickers applied lol. But does anyone else see what I mean about the tape !? I noticed it when the auction was still going on but figured it was okay. I'm sure that wasn't a rare occurrence at Hasbro, that items were sealed then opened to add something then re-sealed ? Look at the tape it's exactly the same as the bottom layer... I thought this was legit. Oh well.

Well he's been super cool about it the entire time & apologetic so I'm not worried about getting my $ back. This was a good learning experience I guess because even if I'd bought it to open & enjoy I would've just gone on thinking it was a misb & been oblivious to the fact I paid all that money for a open box.
