I took the set apart and inventoried the pieces against the list in the back of the instructions.  All pieces were counted as they were put into the ziplock bag.  All pieces listed in the instructions are there, as well as 9 extra of the small ones, as Lego often does.  Everything is in great shape.  None of the pieces are marred in any way, I displayed this for about a year, then put it back into the box for a while put together.  Took it apart today for listing.
