Condition report:
The die-cast vehicles appear to be in mint or near-mint condition, remaining within their original packaging. The cardboard window boxes exhibit varying degrees of age-related wear, including minor scuffing to the edges and corners. There is visible yellowing and light dusting to the plastic windows across the collection. One plastic window shows a small puncture or crush mark (photo 1). The boxes remain structurally sound, though some show light creasing to the card flaps (photo 2).
