RARE Nighttime Version Box - Smurf Gargamel Castle - NEW -Schleich - 49027 -1994

This is the RARE Smurfs Gargamel's Castle in the VERY RARE version of the box showing the castle photographed at night.

Most versions of this castle show the castle pictured during the day (as does this one on the side panels only-see pics).

This huge and heavy castle is difficult to come by loose or in any box, but MUCH MORE RARE in this Nighttime version box.

The castle is Brand New and unused with all parts still sealed in their original bags, the original instructions and a smurf catalog. There are a few small marks and dents on the box (see pics), but nothing major. I bought this many years ago from someone brand new and it has been in storage ever since. When I took the contents out to photograph them for this auction, I happened to notice a small piece on one of the tabs to the ground floor section that looks like it may have cracked and the previous owner may have glued it down? I'm not really sure, because it was never brought to my attention (see last pic). Anyway, it's a very minor thing, but I just thought it best for me to mention it.

I also have the rare Smurfs Farmhouse from 1994 New in the box, for sale right now as well, in case you are interested.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, thank you.
