have yours mint, be sure to tell them in the comments when making your order and
they will insure that it ships to you in mint condition.

Wars line.

Troopers and Stormtroopers are coming, as soon as they work out the logistics of
the best way to create them so they can share as many parts as possible.
Hasbro
