You know, John...not all sellers have the "collector's" mentality. All they care is about selling a model and make the quick profit. Since I'm a collector myself, whenever I send a model out, I always bubble-wrap the model and surround it with peanut foam or air bags in a bigger shipping box - even for a small model like a 1:400 DW A320 or B737.

I'm not surprised that the nose gear is broken given the beating the box has endured. BB models are known to have fragile nose gears and because of that, some releases came with their nose gear in a separate packaging.
