Was this misleading or what?  Given the photo's it is obvious what the
product is, but it sure seems like a misleading description.  Is it me or
does it look as if these bags *have* in fact been opened?  I don't know if
any of the 10000's were shipped with only 1 horse, but it looks as if the
loose black plates were placed in the bag the white horse originally came
in, and the printed horse was replaced with the plain one.  Seems like
crafty use of a Eurosealer to me.

I don't know about the bag...can't really tell from the pics. I do highly
doubt that this seller got the ONLY GI with the correct horse packaged IN
the set. And no box? On a brand new set? Did the seller buy the set JUST to
get a nice box? Maybe he is going to package an original GI in the new box
or something...

I do have a major problem with the overall auction. Header with the original
set number, pic of the 10000 instructions. Something WAY fishy going on
here. I just hope the buyer really knows what they are getting.

(...) It also has the two-clip saddle and stud-hollow heads. It's easy to guess that he chucked the box to disguise that it's not really an original 6067, but why then include instructions with 10000 on them? Definately not on the straight and (...)
