Item History - General (iNCLUDING SIZE, year of production, color, scarcity) WHAT FOLLOWS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING SPECIFIC in this listing Aurora Model MIB 1969 Glow Godzilla 1st Complete Unstarted Listing is for a Aurora Model MIB 1969 Glow Godzilla 1st Complete Unstarted. The Glow Series After the success of the original monster kits in the early and mid 1960's, Aurora must have needed to jazz up the line a bit - they did this by introducing the "Glow in the Dark" series of kits in 1969. Technically, the glow kits had their birth with the "Frightening Lightening" series - basically the long box kits with a lightning bolt running across the box lid and glow parts added...however, the series didn't use the 'Glow in the Dark' tag line until the introduction of the square boxed kits late in 1969. These 'square boxed' kits were the same artwork - cropped to now fit a square format - with 'glow' highlights added. These "1st issue" boxes are identified by the copyright (1969 :) ) and are a "solid" box format (ie the box is firmer than the later issues and cannot be folded). Aurora's Godzilla Go, go, go - Godzilla! Ok, it would be better with music, but imagine me humming it. All original Aurora Godzilla 1st issue 1969 Glow in the Dark kit. Complete. Unstarted. Too cool! Get yours today! Payment Policy Payment is due within 2 days of auction close or date of purchase - EXCEPTION: if payment is snail mailed, we request it to be mailed within 2 business days. Ebay defaults to only online payments but we have no problem with personal checks or money orders. Just be sure to tell us you're sending one and note that checks are held up to 10-15 days to clear. We will ONLY ship to shipping address listed on payment. This is an eBay mandatory requirement. Please be sure to select the appropriate address when making payment. Shipping Policy We will ONLY ship to shipping address listed on the payment page (this is an eBay requirement). We can't change this - be sure the correct shipping address is selected when paying. We do not charge packing nor handling fees. Signature required on all packages over $500. Combined shipping: Yes, we combine shipping and ship at exact cost. Please request invoice prior to payment (or it will cost you a little more due to eBay's fee structure) Shipping Time: Our normal shipping days are Tuesdays and Fridays. There is a one business day processing time needed for shipments (ie items paid by midnight Sunday will go out Tuesday. We try to get most items paid on Monday shipped on Tuesday - but if time doesn't permit, please don't expect package to ship until Friday). ATTENTION UK Buyers: Yes....we DO ship to the UK. Unfortunately, eBay has a glitch in many of our listings that excludes the UK from our ship-to locations - even though we specifically include the UK when creating the listing. We can fix this but need to do it on a case-by-case basis (we don't always know when it doesn't show up). If you do not see the UK listed and would like to purchase (or at least see the cost to ship to you) please let us know and we'll adjust the listing. Until eBay fixes this issue, this is at least a work around. Thanks, L & L Damaged in Shipping/Returns & Refund Policy Damaged Items: If an item arrived damaged, contact us immediately. Please be sure to retain ALL packaging including the box and packing materials, and we will file an insurance claim for you. Returns: Due to the nature of vintage and collectible items, there are no returns. Everything is sold AS-IS. Buyer is responsible for reading description and reviewing large pictures provided. The pictures are comprehensive - if it's not in the picture, it's not included. The items we sell are vintage collectables so expect natural aging/wear. However, we will consider a return if there was a significant oversight in listing. Please contact us for authorization. Buyers would be responsible for ALL return shipping and insurance costs. Insurance would be required and must cover the eBay final bid price. Changes of heart (ie buyer's remorse) will never be a legitimate return reason. We will not consider for return any 'sealed' item which has been open by buyer - regardless of contents. We also reserve the right to charge a 15% restocking fee for returns or order cancellations - at our discretion. We do NOT offer partial refunds. International Orders We REALLY love selling internationally. We've met many people through the years and many have become our dearest friends. Your business is important and valuable to us. However, please do not purchase, if you are unable to comply with the following: WE DO NOT FALSIFY CUSTOMS FORMS. Please do not ask us to put down a false amount or classify as a gift. It is the buyer's responsibility to know and pay all their own country's duty/import taxes and fees. NOTE: We're back baby! Due to the extremely punitive nature of selling internationally on eBay, after decades of selling internationally, we had severely restricted our international shipping to just Canada and Japan. In 2022, eBay announced the institution of new international shipping policies that looked very promising and which we welcomed! Since being accepted to eBay's Global Shipping program, we have been faithfully, once again, servicing our international customers! And darned glad to be able to do so! Our eBay Gripes and Complaints! For those of you who missed all the fun - eBay decided to punitively punish us for 9 months as we refused to sign up for their "managed payments" plan - in which eBay hijacked our payments in order to charge us a fee for access to OUR money when we wanted - instead of when they decide to give it to us. We finally relented when they pulled the plug on ALL our active listings (during this time, we couldn't add or edit listings but could let our normal store items "ride"). But eBay has become a very hostile environment for small business sellers - especially vintage dealers whose business model doesn't fall in line with eBay's forced one-size-fits-all-we-really-want-to-be-just-like-Amazon model. We have been ramping up our presence in other venues - where sales tax isn't collected and we can offer better pricing. Enterprising souls can find us easily by internet searching 'L & L Collectables, San Jose'. Look for us - our eBay inventory is also there - along with non-eBay items. In the meantime, feel free to purchase items here on eBay if you like. "
