I really hoped this kit would include all the items it stated in good working order. Unfortunately it's mostly hype. I bought this for my son for Christmas. He was over the moon thrilled. The fingerprint ink pad and card are the only items worth anything in this kit, and you can certainly buy an ink pad for less and anywhere. The microscope is 100% useless. You can't see anything through it except shades of light. The rest of the case includes the fingerprint powder, brush and lifting tape. We never got a chance to use the tape because the powder simply doesn't work, at least not for us. The other items are plastic tweezers and tiny evidence bags. I guess these could be used in some sort of CSI creative play. My son doesn't care. He's just disappointed. It's really not worth the money. I wish it was.
