Battery terminals are corrosion free and in solid condition; batteries make great contact.The original battery door has both claw hinges intact. The door latches closed per design.The original box is in fantastic condition...One of the nicest Ive seen in a while. It has one factory sealed end, while the open end has all four flaps intact. The graphics look great...Box still has its original price tag!! How cool is that...This kit is complete with a mix of factory and reproduction accessories. The ladder is a factory piece.The helicopter roadway barriers, victim, victim rescue basket, helicopter tail hook, and radar screen are quality VBN reproduction items.The outbuildings and landing pad are a VBN innovation first...These pieces are not cardboard, but sturdy 3D printed structures made to last.

A FEW TIPS...
BE SURE TO INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE PROPER DIRECTION...SEE DIAGRAM INSIDE THE ROOF OF THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT
