I bought these in 2011. They were taken out of the carry case a few times just to have a look at and then put back in. They were never played with and they were never taken out of their origional ties. The accessories were never taken out of their packaging. There are a few scuff marks on the case but does not detract from the product. It is in overall very good condition. The item size that is listed is for the bigger carry case. The smaller carry case is 8cm height and 7.7cm in width.
