>>7187895.....and it turns out to be in good condition! This is why proper packaging is important. Item was tightly bubble wrapped, surrounded by smooshed brown papers like AmiAmi's. I guess Fukuoka's staff anticipated that the journey might not go well. Plus the item itself is the full blister packaging (unlike the cardboard back 1st release), so it is waterproofed anyway.
I've had previous 2 other cases with worse condition than this one where the items are actually damaged. This may be the 3rd worst, but at least it turns out OK. One of my holy grail search for 10+ years has finally ended. Yay!
