With Weaver models closed for a year now, do many of you still buy their Ultraline models online? The real question is if the model is not nos and still has factory packaging, how do you combat or minimize transit damage as a buyer?
Just an FYI Weaver models until 2007-2008 was not the greatest. From the early "white box"kits that just had thin white tissue paper until the late 1980's when Weaver Models transition to the black box with cardboard insert and shrink-wrapped ends to hold the car in place. However once the car was used, the shrink-wrap was not a reusable item to secure the car back in its own packaging. Now with Weaver models hone, you can't purchase the superior clam shell car inserts. Is it just me that one doesn't consider a Weaver car damaged if the fragile grab rails or stirrup steps are broken off? Your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
