leaningjowler Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hello, Got this box in a recent tru order that arrived mostly destroyed. 2 9398's one busted up pretty good, 1 funhouse that looked like someone chopped it in half with a machete, 1 batwing (should have been another funhouse) with a huge whole in the box. Saw this and initially thought they sent a 42009 but then pulled back the top and it was a 9398. Any opinions on value for this or lack of value? Sorry that pics are upside down... Thanks!

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 My opinion has always been - It wont be worth something unless it is a famous misprint - Like a curse word or something of that nature on the box. Mispelling Flux Capacitor was close, but something like this I don't see enough. On the other hand, you never know - maybe it comes out public that 100 of these happened and becomes big news. better question is - which set is inside?

leaningjowler Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Weight is slightly over 6lb and feels about the same as the other one so either a 9398 or a 41999 My opinion has always been - It wont be worth something unless it is a famous misprint - Like a curse word or something of that nature on the box. Mispelling Flux Capacitor was close, but something like this I don't see enough.

Snarkie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 This is new... Would you mind opening up the box and telling us what's inside? Edit: It'd be hilarious if it was 41999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaningjowler Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah not sure what I am going to do yet I want one for the collection so I will probably keep it. Maybe there is a rich collector of defective boxes somewhere..... Need T-rays so I can see what is inside... http://discovermagazine.com/2013/julyaug/05-harmless-t-ray-vision-sees-through-boxes-walls-and-skin#.UwtwsvldVQI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biniou Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 wow it looks like a "collector" keep it for 10 years in a dry place and then try to sell it for 1.000 $ who knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 This didn't come from TLG like this. The top flaps of these boxes are merely hotglued on to the top of the main box, and are notorius for just popping off when being shipped/handled. TRU just glued the wrong one back on. The set in the box is the 4x4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
