IF I HAD TO GUESS I WOULD SAY IT WAS SET UP ,  PLAYED WITH ONCE OR TWICE AND THAT'S IT......   IT IS SO HUGE AND GUESSING IT TOOK A LONG WHILE TO GET IT SET UP JUST RIGHT AND RUNNING.....
SO ALL WENT BACK INTO THE BOX EXCEPT THE WHITE BASE/STAND YOU SEE...(THE WHITE BATTERY COVER FOR THE BASE IS MISSING IF IT TURNS UP I WILL UPDATE)..  SEVERAL OF THE CARDBOARD SCENES WERE FOLDED AS PER INSTRUCTIONS AND NOW TAKE UP MORE ROOM IN THE BOX...... SO THE BASE/STAND WILL NOT FIT BACK IN BOX UNLESS EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED........   A COUPLE OF THE ASSEMBLED CARDBOARD DISPLAYS GOT  OUT OF SHAPE BEING PUSHED BACK IN THE BOX......  GUESSING YOU CAN STRAIGHTEN THEM OUT.....
THE 7 FOOT PLAY MATT SHOWS NOT TEARS THAT I CAN SEE....SEEMS TO BE INTACT.....THE CENTER WAS CUT OUT BY THE OWNER,  WHICH IS CORRECT.......  THE PIECE CUT OUT WAS IN THE BOX AND INCLUDED
THE FLIGHT DECK CARDBOARD ALL LOOKS REAL NICE ...
