Scattered edge creases w/slight outward bowing to front/back main panels. VG/Fine overall. Expansive set includes multi-piece set that assembles to 7.5 feet long and features separate towing vehicle, fuel trailer, Admiral's Launch and electronics sound system that includes battery-operated microphone handset.

We have thoroughly examined the parts for this set and can state it is 100% complete. Microphone handset features work, w/all three electronic sound effects working perfectly while microphone voice function no longer works, instead producing just clicking noises. Parts have some scattered lt. aging but are o/w Exc. to NM. This boxed set was the largest and best piece produced for this classic 1980s toyline and is highly desirable as complete and in original box. (K - $1000 to $2000)

Now I am not bidding on this because I have something else that I desperately want. He's mint in package but I know I will be outbid and POACHED like what always happens to me.  I know he's a bit pricey this mysterious character who I bid on but he's worth is very certified mint in box complete. He would be a true gem in my collection. Totally worth it.
