I can't tell you how excited we were to find a mint condition Tripoly game in a special edition tin. However, our excitment was short lived. The seller covered the tin box with about 1/8 thick bubble wrap and two very thin (1/16 in.)insulating board on top and bottom then covered it in plain brown paper. Needless to say the package came dented in 3 places and one corner crushed. We don't have time to return and look for another one. This is a collectable item sold by individuals on Amazon, so I guess we'll try to straighten it as best we can, and put it under the tree anyway. I don't blame the carrier for this one. It is just sad that common sense packaging was not used. You can tell that this was in excellent condition as advertized before shipping. I would not recommend this seller to anyone else.
