Condition report:

The Alien 3 kit is housed in its original pictorial box and remains partially encased in original shrink wrap, though the plastic is torn along the bottom edge. The King Kong kit is presented in an open box. Interior components for both kits appear to be in excellent, unused condition. The boxes show minor shelf wear and light scuffing consistent with age.
