I received mine today. I had also ordered 3 of the 6-pack Series 26 minifigs boxes from Amazon. Stark contrast. Amazon's minifigures cames in a soft "paper bag" mailer. The Hot Dog Stand came in a very nice double-walled box. Opening that, I found the set was boxed in a decent-sized clamshell box. I had expected something akin to a $20 LEGO box and received something closer to a $70 set. Although a little smaller, packaging was just like the old Big Bang Theory set or the Yellow Submarine set. Solid. And for some reason, I thought that they were shipping the freebie without lights. Not so! Light kit was included. I looked through the instructions and they are not only easy to read and understand, but offer the perfect lighting and contrast to be able to tell the different colors for even these 64 year old eyes.
If I had paid full price for this set, i would have been pleased. Free made it killer! i can't wait to build it and put it beside F.O's Newsstand model. Thanks @Pseudoty for the heads-up!
