I bought this from Toys R Us back in 2004 and it's never been displayed. I meticulously removed the batteries before putting it into storage. I'm a collector and I've learned the hard way that you need to remove batteries from electronic toys or you run the risk of ruining it. (I don't see any of the other auctions mentioning this which is strange considering that it's a 15 year old toy).
No need to worry with this one. I just put in fresh batteries and the battery contacts are brand new. More importantly Bing Crosby singing this tune is crystal clear and beautiful. It's a great toy and in perfect shape but it's time it finds a new home. Box only has slight shelf wear as you can see in the multiple pictures.
