Description: Up for sale is an original Beachcomber straight out of 1985. Beachcomber has a hard time reconciling his love of peace and freedom for all creatures with the need to combat those who threaten it. Furthermore, however just the cause for which it was fought, the gruesome and destructive aftermath of any battle sickens him to the spark. Sometimes, when the internal struggle gets too heavy, he simply has to wander into the wilderness and cleanse his soul. Even there, far from civilization, he sometimes finds strange substances to aid the Autobot cause, for Beachcomber is a skilled naturalist, and geology is his specialty, man. He often tries to preserve or even to hide these discoveries, but he has seen too much evil done by the ruthless Decepticons to conceal any possible source of aid completely from his allies. This Beachcomber has been sent to CAS to be graded and cased as you can see. It got an amazing grade of 70. CAS is a lot different than the way AFA grades. To make a long story short they use 3 techs on each item to get a more accurate grade of any particular item so that it's not just one person's opinion on what that grade should be. They also give it a more accurate number grade on the barcode and the certificates that come with these as you can see on the label and cert. I will leave a link you can copy and paste into your browser about how CAS grades their items if you want to know more about it below. I should mention that unlike AFA every item comes with an official certificate on that particular item that has a raised seal and hologram matching sticker which is a very nice touch I think. Every one of these come with a thick plastic bag around it which makes some of the pics look hazy but when taken out they look nothing short of spectacular! I can send pics of other graded items I have in my collection if you would like to see one out of the plastic bag as an example. I don't remove the plastic bags to keep the case protected and free of finger prints etc. I want every new owner to remove it themselves for the 1st time and a lot prefer to keep the original bag over it as well. Brand new the way it comes from CAS and even the case hasn't been touched! It really doesn't get any better than this and your collectible will be encased and protected forever just like a time capsule so to speak. Get this while you can as it's next to impossible to find these in such nice shape and graded from CAS. A truly great addition to your Transformer collection. Get it while you can before it's gone! https://collectorarchive.com/about-cas/why-use-cas <---- CAS website you can copy and paste if you so desire. *Warning* I am fully aware there are fraudulent sellers on here that have been taking my pictures and using them to list fake sets that don't exist. Just be careful and make sure you see my name (milehi-lego) with my feedback before bidding on a set you want. I know many of my followers are used to seeing my table where I take my pics so don't be taken in by these fake listings. If you see these listings with my pics and you buy it I guarantee you will be filing a claim and have unneeded heartache. I have been reporting these to eBay but they honestly don't seem to move too quickly on getting them removed. I just don't want to see anyone get taken in and get scammed. It's like the saying goes. If it's too good to be true it probably is! Just be careful out there everyone! A little about me: I am a huge collector of Lego and am selling off a good portion of it. Please check out my other listings as I will be selling many rare retired sets out of my collection. Most of my sets are extremely rare and collectible. Many of my sets I have fixed up and spent a great deal of time making nice again if they weren't already. If you don't see anything here you can message me as I have a lot to list and a lot of multiple sets both used and new if you are looking for something in particular. My collection mostly consists of UCS, modulars, trains, sculptures, rare minifigures and other very rare retired sets. Integrity: Although all of my used sets should be 100% complete I will list them at 99.9% as Legos just get lost and I am human. With that being said if you find some missing pieces or whatever I will make it right with you. Please message me with any problems you might find and I will work it out with you. Also, please don't assume anything about an item. If you have questions or want more pics just ask. I will get back to you as soon as I can. I believe in treating others how I want to be treated and expect the same in return. I have great feedback so bid with confidence. Shipping: I try to charge exactly what it costs me to ship these sets. Shipping these retired sets is time consuming and expensive, especially with insurance. I don't mess around when it comes to shipping these. I have much experience with getting these shipped out and to you the exact way they left. I spare no expense in shipping materials (which I don't charge for) and you can rest assured these will be shipped very well. Most times I will not combine shipping unless it makes sense to do so. These sets are mostly very large and when I put 2 together it can damage the other set. I will combine though if I feel like I can do it in a safe manner. I insure all of these sets and require signature confirmation. No exceptions unless you give me written consent. I want these sets to get to you as much as you want them as these are very expensive and collectible. If it's a PO Box I will need written consent before I ship it as most of my sets will not fit so please be aware of that. Buyer is responsible for all duties, taxes, fees etc. I will ship within 3 days of purchase but will usually get it out ASAP. International Shipping: I will offer international shipping but please understand you will have to pay what it costs to ship it to you. The shipping cost you see is just an estimate. The cost to ship of course depends on where you live. If you win a set I will send you a separate invoice for the shipping cost. I will not use the GSP program as it is very costly for the buyer. I understand that and will go the extra mile to save you $ to get it to you. I will only charge you what it costs me and nothing more. Buyer is responsible for all duties, taxes, fees etc. I will only ship to a verified Paypal address. If it's a PO Box I will need written consent before I ship it as most of my sets will not fit so please be aware of that. I won't ship anything out until I have a phone number where you can be reached at as most shipping companies require that anyway. Payment: I expect payment within 48 (2 days) hours of the sale. I will not ship anything that isn't fully paid for. If you don't have the money or don't plan on paying please don't bid on the item and save us both some unneeded heart ache. I only accept Paypal! Returns: I don't accept returns unless I have made a grave mistake or there is special circumstances. I will use common sense here...
