Takara Transformers G1 Decepticon Megatron Rare Robot!

This is a Takara version of the infamous Transformers Decepticon Leader Megatron. Although the date on the plastic pieces says Takara 1983 I believe this was a reissue in 1998-1999. This item was used as a display piece and is 100% complete to my knowledge. Overall it is in very nice shape but there are a few things I would like to point out:

1) Some stickers / decals have been applied, as shown in the picture one of the chest piece stickers is pealing. The rest are in the box with the manual and a collector's card.

2) The shiny chrome paint on the chest piece or body of the (plastic area) has many fine "hairline" type scratches. Unfortunately if you ever wipe this toy it does this. No major scratches just polished / wipe type scratches.

3) The header card area of the box has a significant crease that most likely originated from how it was packed from the shipment to the store.

4) One of the plastic red weapons was removed from the skeleton frame to test in the launcher mechanism.

5) As this is a used item it is being sold as is! I am not a professional collector and do not know grading scales etc.

6) All the packaging and instructions are in Japanese or Chinese (I can't read either and I have no idea what it is)

Shipping will be $30 to anyone in Canada / USA via Canada Post with included insurance and $40 to anyone international. I will pack the item with care. Payment is due via Paypal within 3 days of a winning bid. Contact me with any questions.
