Jakko Well-Known Member Joined Oct 9, 2024 Messages 453 Dec 2, 2024 #6 No helpful clues in the price stickers, then
PatW Active Member Joined Aug 7, 2024 Messages 97 Dec 2, 2024 #7 No as I said that first image was a web picture. No price stickers. I've looked at the box and instructions but no dates on either. Last edited: Jan 18, 2025
