    Good to know so ill sell it on a local trade site kinda like ebay for 250nzd based off what you said.

    I would hold onto it but the box is so big lol and im not a g1 collector and this belongs in the hands of someone who love it as much as i do other bits of my collection

    He has stickers placed on him already, of course he has been opened.

    One thousand percent opened, you can tell from the stickers, the paint scrape and also that he does not have the foam bar over the jet like an unused one would:

    Indeed. I can't see the gun clip there unless it's rattling around in the box. Definitely check the forearm armour clips because they break so easily, plus the clips on the mount for the backpack. Also check there isn't a crack on his back near the hinge for the tailfins. It's so easily missed. I've bought a couple of Jetfires where the crack is invisible in photos and you don't discover it until you have it in hand.
    Finally, check his shoulders. They're prone to problems.

    Hopefully you've not got any of these issues and you'll make good bank on him. :)
