Hello!
The box
The packaging
And now outside at last
I was originally going to continue today with my fake history bashes but since they are missing a few things that where supposed to arrive today I'll instead share something that I consider to be the rarest, perhaps even the weirdest thing in my collection. I don't remember ever taking pictures of this, not even back then when I got it so now is a good time I guess.
The hasbro 12 inch indiana jones ark of the covenant was a mail away item, you collected 5 stickers (if I remember correctly) that you would stick onto a booklet that you then sent along with a money order, the ark took about two weeks to arrive here, personally I did not expect it to be the scale it is or look as interesting.

The box
For whatever reason this item was shipped in this cardboard box simulating wood with all these words on the outside, I had thought back then I would get a brown box or just a standard mail box.
On two sides the box says Indiana Jones, then there's the property tag and a blank place where the shipping label would be posted, the delivery address was protected with a clear square of tape.
The packaging
Here Bob is helping to keep the lid from closing, the ark came in these plastic trays covered in a very thin paper, there's another bit of paper between the lid of the ark to keep it from sticking.
And now outside at last
In my personal opinion its a great piece, the handles pop into sockets at the ends which seem to hold the weight of it (I personally did not try it long enough), the angels at the top are a bit disappointing since they where not given the same treatment and made them super shiny and golden, instead opting for a not so bright gold, the inside has molded sand and what appears to be some weathering, it sure isn't shiny inside. And if you are wondering why I'm wearing gloves it's because I don't want my fingerprints to be all over it and end up damaging it somehow.
I hope this little review of sorts was interesting, once I was done taking photos I placed everything back in the box and into my boxed items closet, not much 1/6 in it so it's placed alongside my Sideshow battledroids to keep them company. As always stay safe and healthy out there. 
I'm only disappointed that they ruined the crate-like design by printing all that modern product stuff directly on it.
