This set has been well played with but is still a great addition to your collection. The instructions are in pieces as shown in the photo.
Other damage that I've noted is that the red ring is cracked, two of the cream fences are damaged, and the circus tent top has some broken tabs where it attaches to the bottom. There is a total of 23 animals and 35 people/performers.
I can send more close ups of the tent or of the animals or people/performer pieces.
