**** This thread is from my original topic posted in HK. ****
All you know that the Republic Gunship 7163 is an expensive set which costs $HK3500(EURO$350) for MISB. I found $1 bid in web and won at HK$2300(EURO$230). Of course, the box condition is not 100%, just 70% new. But it is still MISB which the seal tapes are still in place but about to break.
I am not sure is there any one open it before.
I worry.
How to make sure the minifiugures are still inside without open the box?

Fortunately, with the help of my friend, I took it to for CT (computed tomography), a kind of Xray machine, I not so sure.
After scanning and 3D reconstruction, at least 3 helmets of Clone Trooper EP2, 2 battle droids and jedi's hood are shown.
It is a happy moment!
PS: I think at the search of the Golden C3PO in USA, people even use fibreoptic camera to look for the treasure as some people reported their boxes of SW LEGO have been opened a small hole (Sets were bought from Toy's RXX).
