This set comes with 13 pieces. The palm trees and the Star have boxes with covers. All other pieces have the foam they are packaged in but do not have the box or covers. The star runs off of C batteries and when tested it lights up. It also comes with a replacement tiny light for the Star. The plate that the batteries go in has a broken part that keeps the plate secure but is still very useable. Several of the pieces are rare and hard to find
