This item was purchased when my son, who is now in second grade, was in kindergarten. He didn't play with it much, so there's no major damage or scratches, but there is some dust from storage and minor paint chipping. I will clean it as much as possible with Pastryze before shipping, but I can't get to every small detail, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about this. m(_ _)m For children who love Paw Patrol! I'd love to pass this on to them. It's a big collection, so I'm sure they'll be happy! I will wrap each piece in bubble wrap and ship it in a cardboard box or a thick, waterproof shipping bag.
