This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my nephew, but it was beyond disappointing. The container it came in was only slightly larger than that of a plastic Easter egg! No packaging like what you see in the photo. I guess I should not have bought this without seeing any dimensions, but no one would expect it to come in such a cheap, small package. The lid is held on by a white address label, for crying out loud! It is new, from what I can tell...it looks like the item is in plastic inside this little ball. Just so disappointing. I would not recommend purchasing this item.
