Up for auction here is the Destroid Conversion Kit by Takatoku Toys.
These Destroids are from the Macross Series and movies from Japan (Robotech: Macross Saga in US) that are usually seen defending Macross City inside the ship, on the outside of SDF-1 decks defending the ship, or readily waiting inside either arms of the SDF-1 for a Daedulus/SDF-1 Arm Assault Attack.
This kit allows you to form any of three Destroids of Destroid Phalanx SDR-04-MK XII, Destroid Tomahawk MBR-04-MK VI and Destroid Defender ADR-04-MK X.
The scale is 1/100 - approximately 13cm tall and is made of Die-Cast and Plastic.

CONDITION
The box has overall shelf wear with some minor scuffs and a corner ding.
It is 100% complete with all of the parts for all three modes, Instructional paperwork and unused decal sheet.
There are stickers that have already been applied. I am not sure if they were applied by the manufacturer or previous owner.

Please review the pictures accompanied with the information for all the details below.

Here is the top flap box picture of the Conversion Kit. Attractive Box Art from Takatoku once again!

Please take note of the corner ding on the bottom left corner and also some minor wear near the edges, mainly close toward the bottom.

Here we have the inside of the top box cover with a number stamp which I believe can be the serial number:

Here is the unused decal sheet along with the front of the instruction manual and the next pic is the back of the instruction manual:

This is what it looks like inside the box where the default Destroid form is the Tomahawk on the left and the right some of the other parts to create Phalanx and Defender. Please note the three areas below Tomahawk- the three pieces that are suppose to be in that part of the Styrofoam are actually already fitted onto Tomahawk to keep from floating around inside the box and scratching any of the surfaces:

Here are more Styrofoam pics with an up close look at Destroid Tomahawk and both Styrofoam trays (Surprise!

Yes, there is another tray of goodies underneath this top main one) with all the parts for the Conversion kit:

Here are some up close pictures of all the parts in the Styrofoam:
