Is it factory weathered?

And yes, the size of packaging is a big bugbear of mine. Not sure what can be done about it though.

Order more than 1 of everything. It works for me

thats ok when you are only paying for local shipping, but when they do this for international shipping where you pay by volume it can be really REALLY annoying.

Looks like a box of anemic cheesy wotsits with a hidden free toy.

I was just going to say "a box, but that's not important right now"*

The office Secret Santa was almost a disaster for me, whoever drew my name out of the hat (I have since discovered it was the young trainee who is desperate to impress the boss (me)), bought me some garishly decorated Hornby plank wagon device in 'Orrible Overscale. Fortunately, they had the foresight to include a gift receipt for Antics.
I duly sallied forth to the city centre last week and secured a swap (with a small financial top-up) for this much more pleasing offering. Worth jostling with the shuffling hordes of vapers and mumblers to get it, and excellent customer service from Plymouth's branch of Antics. In fact, I was so pleased I forgot to buy myself a pasty!
