Hi all,
I'm sorry to ask this dumb question, but there is a story behind it which I'll go over briefly.
My parents house has recently had the foundation of their home collapse and it is quite expensive. We were cleaning up what we could downstairs and stumbled on this while going through all my Dads Pepsi memorabilia. He's worked for Pepsi for 40 years now and was given one of these as a gift for his hard work.
Anyways my parents are trying to save enough money to fix their foundation and I googled most of the stuff he had and this seems to be a piece that is quite rare/possibly expensive.
Since there isn't much on the internet to help me in this scenario, and because my local comic book/toy store is pretty useless, I though I'd ask all of you fine gentlemen (and women) if you had any insight.
By no means is this a rushed thing, they're going to borrow money and pay it off, but it'd be nice if a little chunk of it could be covered with this toy.
I'll try to get some pictures of the toy when I see them in a few weeks, its in pretty good condition except for a little rip on the box.
Thank you for reading,
Jared
UPDATE: stop by my parents house this weekend, took some photos, added link to photos. I believe this toy was opened once, then never used because everything looks mint condition except the box and the back of the trailer is peeling a little bit, even all the add-ons and instructions/booklet are still in their original wrappers.

Going over Poflymn's checklist
1) Is it sealed? Is it genuine and not a fake?
-not sealed, can probably find some old christmas photos with it being on display with my dads other pepsi collectables, so yes it's real alright.
2) Are there any tears or rips in the packaging?
-small tear near the open part of the box, everything else looks good
3) Is the packaging faded, stained or mouldy?
-doesn't look like it, maybe a little faded
4) Is the insert tore, ripped or stained?
-the styrofoam is a little beat up
5) Is the figure in good condition? Any scratches, nicks, fading, rust on metal parts or paint wear?
-looks good, check picture link
6) Is the figure complete? All instructions, weapons and accessories included?
-everything sealed that could be and all items accounted for.
7) Are the accessories in good condition?
-still sealed
