:hs: define "crud" ... a sticky residue? dried cupcake batter?

The TFC boxes are a flat finish. The TRU's can handle a soft cloth with a light squirt of water.












btw ... MIB Ginrai?

fat pig.. :madr:

a few have a little bit of sticky stuff on it, but it looks like it can come off without damaging the box. i just don't want to attack it and watch the box melt before my eyes.

Actually it was a box of cream-puffs from the local bakery. No joke. I was shoving one into my mouth, and I noticed the tape .

Me: (mouth full of bakery goodness) mfff---mfff!...guggn da fape :awais:

Andrew: huh?

Me: GUGGIN DA FAPE! GOOK AF FA FUGGIN FAPE!

Andrew: You're right. The tape is the same.

I was thinking of going back there and offer them $50 for their tape dispenser and any tape they had.

The tape dispenser cutter is the same pattern used on TF's.

You would have ripped off unsuspecting people with so-called MISB items. :cry:

THAT'S RIGHT ...

I'd empty the Predaking box and fill it with orange painted rocks. They'd all say :rawr: on them.

The china-town tape is the same, but the tape dispenser cutting edge is different. The one at the bakery is dead on.

It could even pass for the tape on a circa 1984 box.
