I displayed this item for about six months after purchasing it, and then stored it in a dark place. The box is not included. The photos show everything that is included. I am selling this to organize my collection. Since this item does not have a box, I will disassemble the parts and ship them in a Yu-Pack bag to save on shipping costs. Please understand that this is a used item, and refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to imperfections. Thank you.
