Condition report:
The items are in their original packaging. The Renault Hauler window box shows significant crushing, creasing, and structural wear to the cardboard and plastic window (photo 1). The Ty-phoo van box exhibits corner wear and creasing (photo 1). The teal recovery vehicle box has a large area of surface loss from an adhesive label removal on the plastic window (photo 2). Other packaging shows light shelf wear and minor scuffing consistent with age (photo 3). The models themselves appear to be in good condition, although they have not been removed from their packaging for inspection.
