I've actually had this for several months. I've just got it out for Christmas. I believe it's the first time it's ever been out of the box, or someone was really good at putting everything back like the Mint. The box itself has water damage, but nothing inside was touched. I even have all the paperwork. It's taken over a decade, but this was the last piece to complete my collection of Budweiser trucks from Danbury Mint. I started with a broken 1938 GMC

I am crestfallen. Won at auction a Franklin Mint 1904 Rolls-Royce. First pic is what I bought, then what I actually got...

It was a Goodwill auction, they don't take items back. They do refunds. And yes, put a claim already.

... and this is the "packing". All the damage was caused when the clump of brown paper was pushed down by the plastic cover.

I feel your pain. When I first started collecting diecast from the Mints. I chose the cheapest, either dirty or damaged or both, but occasionally some good popped up cheap on eBay. My Danbury Stutz Black Hawk was perfect with a case. They put it in the plastic case with cheap packing peanuts, and not many. Then they put that in a box with some paper, again, not much. needless to say, I now had a damaged car when it arrived. They refunded all my money and I got to keep it. I put it all back together too. The case did not survive.

Same happened a year ago with a Lincoln. Got my money back and was able to put it back together, but this one is a lot worse.
