I've held off making a review, because what would be the point. I have read his responses to other negative reviews, and they are just personally degrading. Coming into Christmas when you don't have a lot of time, when the ad said empty box, I was thinking that he meant open box. I was purchasing this for a young boy for Christmas and yes in fact I got an empty box. Having some experience with Movie making and what's called Set-Dec, set decorations having this is an empty box would be perfectly fine. Yet, I was expecting this one containing the model, and was thinking that he just chose the wrong word because of the time I had purchased three or four other models for Christmas that were in fact open box and all of them were perfectly fine. For what I paid for a b double box and and going into Christmas was rather discouraging.
