Condition report:

The items are in a used and unboxed condition, showing significant accumulations of dust and cobwebs across the vehicle bodies and treads (photo 1). The rubber treads on the tanks exhibit white oxidation and residue (photo 7). The RadioShack Surger car shows visible surface scuffing and scratches to the plastic body (photo 11). The Flame Master tool kit appears complete within its original moulded plastic tray, though the metal components show light surface tarnishing (photo 4). Packaging for the servos and alloy parts shows edge wear and light creasing to the card backings (photo 2). The functional status of all electronic and mechanical components is untested.
