Story popped up on a FB thread the other day...

In Response To: I've got two sealed '67 kits: a Mustang bought in the Eighties from a reliable guy, and a Barracuda from my brother, who knew where it had been from '67 on. I don't look for sealed ones myself, but sometimes they find me *NM* ()

Someone paid the big $$ for the kit, got it home, found it was in fact a reseal with parts assembled off the tree (wheels, IIRC)

No word as to the engine block halves...

What year did AMT start sealing kit packages with cellophane?
- Started with the '67 annuals, Trophy Series kits were phased in when they got the next rebox *NM*
  - Parts inside were not bagged right away; I believe that started with the '70 annuals. Bagged chrome came in the mid-Seventies *NM*
    - I knew you would know! Thank you! *NM*
    - I think buying some sealed kits is risky these days, unless one can inspect the kit personally.

        I've seen instances of that. Actually, I bought two Mustang kits from the guy at the same time. Cracked one open, it's the real deal *NM*
