It's seal hadn't been tampered with and it looked amazing. Apart from the box, all the packets and pieces were also there. Good buy. ### ⭐⭐ Disappointing packaging with an odd "not for sale" label *by on Reviewed in India 26 October 2024* I was really looking forward to building this John Deere Lego set, especially after spending a bomb on it, but the experience has been disappointing due to the poor packaging. The box came with “Wholesale Package/Not for Retail Sale” stamped across it, which felt cheap and unexpected for such a premium purchase.To make matters worse, the sticker sheet was completely messed up! The stickers were folded, bent, and practically peeling off the paper, making it impossible to apply them neatly.For the price, I expected care in packaging and quality control, especially as a collector who values the details. The set itself might be impressive, but the poor handling really takes away from the excitement. Not sure I’ll be ordering a high-end set like this again if this is the standard. ### ⭐ Damaged box and incomple set of pieces *by on Reviewed in India 26 December 2024* Box was fixed with tape, manual is missing, bags are torn, pieces are missing, sticker sheet is missing. Its basically a fraud. ## Frequently Bought Together - LEGO Technic John Deere 948L-II Skidder Set, Large 1,492-Piece Construction Vehicle Toy with Pneumatic Functions and 4 Wheel Drive, Model Building Kit for Engineering Enthusiasts, Gift Idea 42157 - LEGO Technic John Deere 9700 Forage Harvester, Tractor Toy for Kids, Farm Set, Vehicle Model Building Kit with Realistic Functions for Imaginative Play, Gift for Boys and Girls Aged 9 Plus 42168 - LEGO Technic John Deere 9620R 4WD Tractor Toy with Tipping Trailer, Classic Style Farm Toys for Kids, Boys & Girls 8 Plus Years Old, Collectible Model Building Set 42136 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/603829807-lego-technic-john-deere-948l-ii-skidder-42157-building-toy](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/603829807-lego-technic-john-deere-948l-ii-skidder-42157-building-toy) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
