Brand New Box , very hard to find these original special edition which were designed for Walmart ,they retailed for as high as $129 ,,I used to be a distributor of this product and I had purchased and stored these for a long time and now I am selling my inventory of this iconic product at $49/kit to to reduce inventory .This is an awesome tool for early development of your kids why waste money on toys when you can buy these fun to use iconic kits which can help boost you kids reading skills .
