The included manual shows some wear from use but is in good clean condition. Photos show a typical example of the manual. The bonus models Ferris wheel manual is not included. Manuals can also be downloaded in color, high quality pdf format directly from the K'NEX website. Box not included (box photo shown for reference only). Bagged parts will ship in a sturdy plain brown box.
We have ensured that all required pieces are included, with extras for nearly every part. Includes 4 half red/half yellow balls (these can be separated to make two solid red and two solid yellow balls if you prefer).
This set is the original 1995 Big Ball Factory, model 63045. When the design was refreshed years later they added blue and silver spacers to many of the areas to make it a bit more robust. We have included these spacers as well, although they are not necessary to build the functional model. The newer version of the instructions available from the K'NEX website can be used to see their locations throughout the model, as well as the installation method for the battery-powered motor (instructions for set 52443). The battery motor can also be installed simply in place of the hand crank on the outside of the model as shown in the photos.
