I just received a Time Train from an eBay transaction. It was described as "new in beaten box" which was true enough. Everything was there in the polybags except for 2 pieces.

CA was very nice to me the one time I had to call them. But contrary to what you wrote earlier, TLG does at times mispack sets. My second set after exiting my dark ages was Nebula Outpost (the set everyone loves to hate). The magnet was missing from (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
