The sticker said "Missing piece", but I had a close look and there was a lot missing. The pilots were not there (no big loss; I'd have thrown them out anyway), the fuel drums and one rotor blade were missing as well, as was the rear horizontal stabilizer. One wing and a rocket pod were loose in the box and sliding around.

I pointed these out to the checkout chick and she let me have it for a mere $10 (75% off)! Score!

Anyway, I opened it up as soon as I got home and the damage wasn't as bad as I'd thought. The wing and ordnance snapped back on, and the "missing" rear stabilizer was behind the cardboard insert. So all I need now is to fabricate a new rotor blade and all will be well.
