Yeah, you can never be sure when a package arrives like that. I had a set I'd ordered right from Lego arrive, and the shipping box was torn open, the set box inside was torn open, and the bags and parts inside were all loose and floating around in there. Made the Parisian Restaurant a slightly nervous build... Now my question is, who looked at that set with two airplanes, and said "Hey, you know what'd be better than two airplanes? One airplane and a car. Kids would love that way more."? Side note, I believe the German fighter plane used in the film was actually a Swiss-made flight trainer aircraft.
Yeah, I look at sets I missed during my dark ages and there is a feeling of regret. But then I look at my stack of unbuilt Lego and I also feel some level of regret. It’s a no win situation.🤣
@@jasonsbricksin5 So true. I just checked the german ebay for this set. Sealed sets are between 220 and 300 €, opend sets min. 104 €. Oha, 😳 many of the open sets are uncomplete!
Weird timing… I was just building that red plane to go with my new “German fighter plane”, except I was making it so Indy’s dad can rotate with the machine gun, and the tail breaks away.
The box is in okay condition, but I know how to fix it. I will send you a giant battery warning sticker so you can paste it on the front and hide all that stupid artwork. It will also match your other set. Stay Oswaldified!
Absolutely one of my favorite Indy sets! Glad it made it there as expected.
You gotta love it when they refuse your initial offer and you get it for much less
Yeah I wasn’t complaining, that’s for sure
Great haul. Another one-off the list.
Neat set, that was a scary box to open, luckily all good
congrats on your find
Lovely set, glad it was not damaged in transit.

Good deal. Glad it came safe!
Yeah I was really nervous when I saw that box.
I like the double decker in that set, happy to see that you got it in a nice condition. A fun story with the price
Great for you that it arrived in good condition. The look of the shipping box certainly raised questions!
Yeah I was nervous when I got home sons saw the shipping box but it worked out
Awesome set, maybe they packed it that way so the shipper will think it's already damaged and won't harm it anymore 😂.
double win, lower price and a well protected interior (although that exterior got me really worried.) Congrats on the find.
Thank you
Seeing you open these sets makes me hate my LEGO dark ages even more 😢. But good for you on getting it even cheaper than your initial offer.

Cool set, I like that biplane. Lucky you that you got it for a "good" price! ❤
Unfortunately when we are shopping the aftermarket, what is a good price can certainly change

Sounds like a good update to the build.
