Purchased at Toys "R" Us in November 2023. It's been about a year, but the child only used it for about six months, so it's in relatively good condition. Operation has been confirmed. I wiped the entire item with disinfectant wipes, but please be aware that there may still be some remaining dust. The batteries are not included. They will be wrapped in the original bubble wrap used at the time of purchase and placed in a semi-transparent plastic bag for shipping. The original box is available, but the bead coaster cannot be removed and won't fit, so it will be shipped without the box.
