Hey people!
I've been lurking around a bit but today I felt I had a good enough reason to sign up to this lovely forum. :)
So, I just took delivery of two copies of the 42053 set. The packaging wasn't the greatest and both boxes have quite a lot of damage on almost all corners as well as some other marks. I have no idea if the damage was caused by the postal services, the store I ordered from or even before that.
I realy wanted at least one of the boxes for display but sadly, they are both equaly damaged. I'm trying to figure out if I should return them or not and thought you guys could help me decide. :)
How much damage to the original, sealed box do you tolerate when buying new sets? Did you ever open up a damaged box to find damaged pieces and/or instruction manuals inside? Are some Technic sets more fragile than others?
Cheers,
