“This set retailed for $2.00 (in 1998 dollars) and it has quite a bit to it for such a small little set. Starting with the box and instructions, they are fairly simple. The box show the contents of the box in what appears to be mid-battle, which is effective. You have to do... More quite a bit of unfolding to access the entire institution manual, but it can still be folded back up for display. It is also worth mentioning there is a sticker of a 6, but I do not believe it is used in the build.”
