Oh is it?? 1998 is written on the box...
The batteries are aleardy inside the compartment. When i got the box, its not with stickers, box is very new. No sign of tearing the sticker. I thought the box comes without taping it as like some of the masterpiece transformers toy.
Inner sticker have been open while i chk. I guess might be the seller taken out to see see then put it back, cause the item is still very new. No sign of parts being pull out . So i dont mind.
But the box did write " Requires 2 "AA" batteries"
I guess its like what you said... It dont suppose to come with batt?
