Congrats on the Forbidden Zone. It's most certainly a rarity, I've only seen two in the past 10+ years. It's now the only sealed one as I opened mine when I got it. Mine doesn't have the white sticker on it. I wonder if the store placed those on.
I'm not doubting your memory, I just would think it would be impossible for 5 boxed figures to fit inside a treehouse box. It's pretty tight in there with all the pieces.Honestly I have no idea. I can just barely remember opening it. I know my Grams bought it for me. She owned a pizzeria that didn't open til 7pm every night so during the day while she did her prep work we would often visit her there (it was right next door, too!). Yes, I did get free pizzas!
Anyway we were in the pizza place and she gave me this big flat cardboard box and I remember opening it up and the treehouse was in it and I'm pretty sure all the figures were in individual plain cardboard boxes too. That's all I recall. Never in a million years did I think to save THAT box (although I saved many real boxes after that) so I don't know if it was printed on at all or where it came from. Even if my Grams was still alive she'd never remember where she bought it from. We did Sears & Penneys just like everyone else back then so could have been any of them really.

I was wondering that myself as my tree house mailer box does not have a sticker on it. I also agree about the mailer boxed figures. Not only would it be tough to fit them inside the box, but I don't think it would have been packaged that way. I would think that the mailer boxes were for individual items. So my guess is that Rich's Grandma purchased the tree house and the figures separately and either stuffed the boxed figures into the tree house so she would only have to wrap one box or Rich is remembering them being in the box when they were not. At least I am hoping that, as I really don't want to have to be looking for a mailer box tree house giftset along with the regular giftset!Comment

I already have a loose one I can set up and admire. There is just too much magic to unopened Megos! I now have something that is the exact way it was on the shelf back then. I can't destroy the magic! I can't do it! Plus, like Mike inferred, how many other sealed ones are out there? I might have the only one. How can I destroy that possibility!Comment

Oh I'm not 100% sure on that. That's why I didn't say i definitely remembered them like that. I do know they and the treehouse were NOT in store packages and were all in the plain cardboard boxes. As for whether they were in the same box with the treehouse, I don't know for sure. I'm 25% thinking they WERE in the same box but don't use my memory for any evidence. I was maybe 9 at the time and so excited to get them that I'm lucky i remember any of that at all. Now I do 100% remember getting General Ursus on a card (the helmeted one) for my 11th birthday. He was the last one I needed to get all 10. The other 4 2nd series I got for the previous Christmas. The last ape i bought new was a 2nd soldier ape and he came with the attached cuffs.
