These neat items become harder and harder to find! First, the larger ones disappeared. Then there were just the smaller ones and now they are starting to disappear and becoming exceedingly hard to find. Hard to believe this one sold for a dollar in stores back in the day. I'm guessing this was overseas since I never saw anything this neat in my dollar stores! I listed as used but when I found it, it appeared to be new in box. I removed it only to test for functioning. It requires three AA batteries (not included). I took photos in different degrees of light to show you that it works fine and spins as it's supposed to! Interesting note: there is Lucky Star branding on the package. I remember reading that the LG company was originally Lucky Star. I wonder if there is a connection here.
